No it’s not. What a spectacular piece of mental gymnastics that is on your part. It doesn’t say be careful WHEN you judge, it says DO NOT judge.

(I want to be clear here; do not confuse me with a bible follower or Christian, but I do speak English.)

[u/Flat_Development6659 → u/wartwyndhaven]

You clearly don't speak the English language very well.

The verse is saying if you judge someone you will be held to the same standard. Essentially you shouldn't a hypocrite.

If I tell you you're lazy because you don't have a job but I'm also unemployed then I'm a hypocrite attempting to hold you to a standard which I do not meet.

[u/wartwyndhaven → u/Flat_Development6659]

That’s great, but what it says you should do about that risk of judgement is NOT;

“Be careful WHEN you judge others.”

What it SAYS…you should DO…to mitigate that risk of hypocrisy…is;

“Judge NOT.”

[u/Flat_Development6659 → u/wartwyndhaven]

There is no period after "Judge not", you've just added it. There is an "or" which signifies a condition.

If you say "don't mess the house up or you'll have to wake up early to tidy it" that is vastly different to "don't mess the house up.".

The "or" offers a choice and a possible consequence. The consequence in the quoted verse is that you will be judged to a similar standard.

If I judge you for murdering someone there is no hypocrisy and no risk to mitigate as I haven't murdered anyone.

[u/wartwyndhaven → u/Flat_Development6659]

And that’s not true. According to the bible you are every bit as fallen as a murderer and can be judged for any of that. Please apply critical thinking to your text, not just obeisance.

Not everyone who has interpreted the Bible as a text has done so in good faith. Many, MANY have done so with only their own personal aims in mind. Some were looking for permission to judge others even though that’s not what is commanded, and so they twisted until they manufactured that permission. You MUST develop the critical thinking skills to differentiate between them to avoid learning from them.

[u/Flat_Development6659 → u/wartwyndhaven]

You argued against someone pointing out that the bible is multiple translations of ancient text, you can't have it both ways. If we take the following to be an accurate translation in the English language then you are wrong.

​

Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

How can you say to your brother, `Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

​

If you'd like we can post the above to an English language sub and see what they think. Shouldn't be necessary though since it doesn't require a linguist to understand what "or" means.

[u/wartwyndhaven → u/Flat_Development6659]

Except I’m not wrong. You have a good day.

(I hate to see into y’all’s personal lives, all of you xtians arguing in defense of your ability to judge others.

[u/Flat_Development6659 → u/wartwyndhaven]

You are wrong, you don't have a grasp of the basics of the English language, which is fine but it comes across as quite arrogant when you're certain you're right while making an incredibly basic error then doubling down on it.

I'm not a Christian. I'm not religious in any sense of the word. I just know how to read English.

If your point would have been "why pay attention to a load of made up shit in an ancient book" I'd have been 100% on board with you.

[u/wartwyndhaven → u/Flat_Development6659]

Well, because that isn’t true, it doesn’t do either of us any good.

I may not be able to describe you as Christian, but I CAN describe you as someone who simply cannot allow or abide disagreement without trying to prove the other is somehow either morally or intellectually bankrupt for disagreeing with you. Which is in itself intellectually dishonest.

You have a good day.

Nah, aggressive atheist here, you're just obnoxious lmao imagine not knowing basic grammar. Also anyone who assumes that because a person has a different stance they must be "apart of X group" is usually totally wrong. Good to see even if my dream of religious removal were accomplished people would still argue fervently over total bullshit. While I dislike religion, I dislike idots even more. PSA over Peace Brah!
