"DO NOT JUDGE
"Let us not judge our neighbor
"If we dare to judge our neighbor, we will bring judgement down upon ourselves," . . . .
Does anyone understand the COWARDICE in that statement?
Do you really think that Jesus meant to set up some cowardly law of Karma by his statement, "Judge not that ye be not judge"?
If that is so, how could Saint Paul say:
"But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man."
Saint Paul WELL understood, that he may be accused, charged, convicted, judged, sentenced and even martyred, but that NONE of that judgement is REAL.
What did Jesus then mean by "Judge not, that ye be not judged; For whatsoever measure you meet shall be met unto you"?
He is talking about judging by appearance, judging by the ego/carnal mind, judging by pride, by lust, by hatred, by passions of all kinds. Those who are yanked around by passions are INCAPABLE of Judgement.
Isa 59:14ff And judgment is turned away backward, and righteousness standeth afar off; for truth stumbleth in the street, and uprightness cannot enter. And truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it was evil in his sight that there was no judgment.
The image this scripture gives, is an ICON of THESE times. Just like in the days of the Pagan Roman Empire. There is nothing you can say that is TRUE about the present PAGAN culture that will not cause you persecution, INSTANT judgement from the LIARS of the Culture. As it is true, you cannot say anything true about Anti-Christ Talmudic Judaism, or Anti-Christ Islam, without suffering INSTANT judgment from the LIARS, with REAL WORLD - that is Material consequences. Does that mean we should remain quiet?
Those not willing to be judge BY this World, whose Christianity goes by such pusillanimity as to say, "If we dare to judge our neighbor, we will bring judgement down upon ourselves," are devoid of TRUTH.
They suffer the destruction of the innocent with a YAWN.
They sacrifice the virgin to the rapist,
the baby to the abortionist,
the infant to Genocidal Vaccinations of the Luciferian Scientistic Dictatorship,
the child to B.F. Skinner psychotic animal Behaviorist Conditioning,
the young person to the pop-culture and the sexual insanity of pop-idols, family and friends, - all of whom DARE NOT BE JUDGED - - - Why?
Because they have turned a misunderstood sentence Jesus spoke into Solipsism, insanity and DEATH.
This culture of DEATH has been created while the FALSE Shepherds have refused to JUDGE ANYTHING.
Jesus gave us the example of the KIND of judgment he was talking about. It was self-righteous judgement. Judgment without self examination. He said "FIRST remove the mote from your own eye." Self-examination is VERY, VERY Orthodox, in fact is the KEY and CORE of the healing of the whole person. It has deep psycho-spiritual reality. But it IS NOT simplistically - rationally - by our own narrow intellect following a sentence Jesus spoke with our own dead rationalism. Jesus never intended a human person to be without the power of Judgment, but to grow to make that judgement match what is TRUE and to have that judgement always be in the service of MERCY. He taught not to judge from false pictures of our own accomplishments and spiritual development, like the example he gave of the Rich Man and Lazarus. But to always say, "Lord Jesus Christ son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner." And at the same time, through the worship of the church, grow to the point that you come to "know, what is the acceptable, good and perfect" will of God, as Saint Paul taught in the twelfth chapter of Romans - the first few verses. With that knowledge comes the power of judgement. How could anyone who has come to know the will of God, NOT know what is contrary to it. And if you have not been taught this in your experience as an Orthodox Christian, you haven't been listening, or your teachers are sorely lacking.
