MORON!

Given these findings, it's pretty important that both Christians and non-Christians understand what Jesus means when he says "judge not." The key is recognizing that the word judge can be used in two different ways in the New Testament. Sometimes judge is used to mean "judge between things," to differentiate, or discern. In this case we judge between right and wrong, good and evil, righteous and unrighteous.
But this kind of judging -- the act of discernment -- is not what Jesus is forbidding. In fact, throughout the Bible we are commanded to discern. In the very same discourse as the famous "judge not" statement, Jesus talks about having the discernment to see the difference between good people and evil people (Luke 6:43-45).
Jesus compares judging people to trees. Good trees, he says, always produce good fruit - and only good fruit, and bad trees always produce bad fruit, and only bad fruit. The call to differentiate good from evil is to judge, to discern, correctly.
This is often what gets Christians into hot water in our ignorantly-&-insanely-tolerant, religiously diverse culture.
When a Christian labels something as "wrong" or "evil," they are pounced upon as being judgmental and out of step with Jesus. Sometimes this is the case, as I will discuss below, but very often the accusation is the result of a culture that no longer understands the difference between discernment and condemnation.
A New Testament commentator of yester-year explains the linguistic dilemma this way: "Judgment is an ambiguous word, in Greek as in English:
> it may mean exercising a proper discernment,
> or it may mean sitting in judgment on people (or even condemning them)."
It is this second definition, to condemn, that Jesus forbids, and he makes that clear when the whole sentence in Luke 6 is read: "Judge not, and you will not be judged; condemn not, and you will not be condemned." Jesus is saying the same thing in two ways -- a common way of teaching in the Hebrew culture:
The Hebrews declared, if a truth is very important, say it two different ways, so that:
> teaching it twice will enhance remembering it;
> teaching it two different ways will increase the understanding and application of it;
> teaching it twice will decrease the chance of misunderstanding of it;
> teaching it twice shows it a teaching in the 'important category of teachings';
> Thus many, many truths throughout the whole of Scripture are (a) stated, (b) then restated immediately in a slightly different way, sometimes using the inverse such as:

EXAMPLE of using the Inverse as the Second Teaching, John 1:3:
> > (a) Stated in the positive: "All things were made by him;"
> > (b) Stated in the inverse: "and without him was not any thing made that was made."
Both statements are teaching the same thing, different ways, one truth repeated for emphasis, clarity and importance.

Watch for this Hebrew teaching principle and you see hundreds in Scripture. Then use it in your own life with principles you are teaching children, grandchildren, employees and others!
