Welcome to the Rapid Bull, daily edition, where we provide a quick biblical interpretations and applications. This is a ministry of striving for eternity.
The one unbreakable rule in our culture is, you should not judge. Have you ever spoken to someone and said something is wrong or someone is doing something wrong, and someone will say, you shouldn't judge.
Or maybe they're going to even quote a Bible verse and say, judge not, least you be judged. We have a culture that says, you should not judge other people. Now, we're going to deal with this, and we realize that immediately, what are they doing when they tell you that you shouldn't judge others?
Well, if we put our critical thinking hat on, we recognize they are judging us. So they obviously think it's okay to judge, as long as they're the ones doing it. And that's the first thing you want to point out to people.
When someone says, you shouldn't judge other people, my response typically is, then why are you judging me? I usually have to explain it because they are so trained to think that they cannot be judging others by giving in to the cultural norm.
And yet the reality is, they judge without even recognizing it. So the first thing I want to do is point out to them what it means to judge other people. The fact is that when they make a judgment that I'm wrong for judging others, that's their judgment.
And it needs to be pointed out that they are judging. And if they think it's wrong to judge, then they should stop it. I don't believe it's wrong to judge other people. The question I always have is, what's the standard that you use to judge others?
That's the issue.
