Episode Details

In Matthew 7:1 Jesus says, “Do not judge so that you will not be judged.” What does this mean? Is this a universal command? If so, how is the civil court system called to exercise justice? How are Christians to exercise church discipline? How are parents to correct their children?

After a more careful examination, it becomes clear that Jesus’ words cannot be a carte blanche command. So what does Jesus mean in this passage? How are Christians to think about judgement? In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge confronts these questions with careful exposition.
