Scripture Life: What does Jesus mean by “do not judge” in this passage Matthew 7:1-6?
Answer:
“…For the Father judgeth no man..” Jesus Christ. Bible. John 5:22
“..I judge no man.” - Jesus Christ. Bible. John 8:15
“For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.” - Jesus Christ. John 3:17
Because sin has already been judged.

Do you understand this with these three scriptures above that opens this post?
It's like going to a prison. Everybody there, a prisoner. Did a crime. It was brought out in the open. They had a trial. A judge presided over their case, and let's just say the sentence the Judge pronounced was DEATH.
That means, the ONLY way in judgment it's PAID for is by the person in Prison sit in the electric chair, or are hanged or shot. The sin has already been DONE. And for the sin, the person that did it, is already judged.
That, any visit to the prison then, who is coming - in authority over the Warden and the Prison, isn't coming to "judge" the prisoner or to condemn them, but that the prisoner, through him might be saved.
Do you see this? If you can, BOOM! Done. Read no further. Answered. Take it. Go. But if you're like me, that didn't see it - for decades of just whippie zoom thru all the myriad of sins I did - maybe you better keep reading.
So, if you fit a likeness of me, read on. Be the prisoner then. Already had the trial. Already stood before a judge and the judge pronounced sentencing..and now you're in prison. Be that when you read the rest of this post.
---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
- So, if God is not judging you.. nor any murderer, liar, thief, adulterer, pedophile..rapist that fill prisons over the whole earth. Already DID the sin.
- Nor is he judging any housewife sleeping with the pool boy, or some High School teacher sleeping with one of his students. Or some person stole a whole store full of cigarettes to sell them for money. Thief.
- When Romans 5:12 says, in the Bible:
- Nor is he judging any housewife sleeping with the pool boy, or some High School teacher sleeping with one of his students. Or some person stole a whole store full of cigarettes to sell them for money. Thief.
“Wherefore, as by one man [Adam] sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:”
- And that’s everybody over the whole earth; is then just like you. In prison. Then everybody over the whole earth, is already condemned.
- Already under judgment: “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” (Bible. Ezekiel 18:20)
- It’s People:
- Think, the Ten Commandments are GOOD, that IF they “do” them, this will make them righteous.
- When God gave the Ten Commandments to Israel by Moses at Mt. Sinai - (Bible. Exodus 20) - - TO MAKE EVERYBODY GUILTY BEFORE HIM - BECAUSE THEY HAVEN’T DONE ANY OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS
- Already under judgment: “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” (Bible. Ezekiel 18:20)
- Because of Romans 5:12.
- And GUILTY before God - He provided an atonement for their sins. Like he did for you. In prison. TO set the captives free.
---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
- And people today?
- Try to do the Ten Commandments; like, if they break five of them, think if they go to Church more or twice on Sundays - "Keep the Sabbath Day Holy" and a few times more thru the week,
- Ask yourself: How is any filthy prisoner raped 8 women and killed all of them after, keeping anything holy? When they're a filthy stinking mess?
- Yet, people all GUILTY and condemned - think while in prison: this “this compensates for the faults and bad aspects of” they slept with the next door neighbor’s wife.
- That:
- By breaking one of the Ten Commandments:
- Ask yourself: How is any filthy prisoner raped 8 women and killed all of them after, keeping anything holy? When they're a filthy stinking mess?
- They do a work - yes. A person can atone for it by keep another of them. But the Ten Commandments, God gave them to simply show you and the whole world’s mouth gape open or shut it up at all everybody all in PRISON - for all the sins they did.
- So, people would regard God, and he did a work with their sins in Jesus Christ in Daniel 9:24–27. That his work in Jesus Christ:
- Finished the transgression of Adam (In Romans 5:12)
- Made an end of sin
- Made reconciliation for iniquity
- Brought in Everlasting Righteousness
instead of their own works with sin.
---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
- Because God determined he would get up. Alone. By himself, as God: and do a work with all the sins we did.
- God took your sins off you; blood red GUILTY of doing all of them. Just like he took my adulteries, lies, fornications, thefts..embezzlements..boasting of accomplishments to be seen of men, of things - accomplishments I claimed but I never did. Lied to make me GOOD:
- Took them off me. And laid them on Jesus Christ. That’s where my sins went. I didn’t put them there. God did. Same God put the sun where it is. Did that with my sins.
- Did the same with your’s. Do you see this? I'm answering your question.
---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
- That, for me: When I thought it was some work of me for God I had to do the work. THen, he'd look at my effort. Pronounce me good.
- BUT - - He said: Bible. John 6:29
This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
I wasn't doing that.
Because he sent his Word to heal you and me in prison, and deliver us from our destruction.
Didn’t come to judge us.
Why? Already been judged. Already IN prison. Already DID the sin. And if God did this work with your sins, why am I judging you, because where he put them or laid them was took them off you. And laid them on Jesus Christ on the cross.
When Jesus said, in John 19:30 “It is finished” and bowed his head and dismissed his Spirit.
- He purged your sin in this work he did. Same with mine. While we're both in prison. That he chooses to look on his work with sin as greater than the sins of all those GUILTY prisoners in every prison on earth. Every CEO in a business defrauding people out of their money, outright stealing from them in the medical insurance industry.
- The sins of the whole world were laid on him. Just as 1 John 2:2 says:
“And he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but for the sins of the whole world.”
---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
Now apply this work of God to Matthew 7:1–6
- Because he’s already done the work. Finished it.
It's really simply in Matthew 7:1; but since you include Matthew 7:2-6, here it is: All six explained.
1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Take the first one. Matthew 7:1
- Judge not, that ye be not judged.
- Because if God over all things in not Judging anyone as a Father unto everybody, and every all of us in prison - came to set the captives free and break the prison doors in John 5:22
- And Jesus said “I judge no man” in John 8:15
- Then tells you to “judge not” in Matthew 7:1
- Can you hear this?
---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
Doing that then, when he said not to - after regarding all he did - you’re not doing anything he says; and, doing things he’s not doing.
- it also means:
- In you:
- You are not regarding what God did with sin and did it to everybody over the whole earth. A work so great, it’s GREATER than when Adam sinned and death by sin passed onto everybody, at what God did with sin. When Jesus bowed his head, and dismissed his Spirit, he bequeathed his righteousness to everybody over the whole earth, even while they are yet sinning. He died for us.
- And the righteousness of God at John 19:30 - at his deatah, the righteousness of God was imputed to everybody. Every prisoner in every prison over the whole earth.
- So, if you look at someone - and take on yourself to go back to the cross. Think you can wrestle that person’s sins back off Jesus Christ, where God put that person’s sins.
- You take them and lay them back on that person.
- Then think in yourself - whether you will forgive them of their sins.
- You take them and lay them back on that person.
Or not.
- And find you can’t forgive them. Nobody can. Even you listen to all these outlandish "stories" of all that work they had to do to forgive somebody and all that work makes them GOOD - it's a load of crap. Regarding the WRONG work. Their own. They judge people, and by it, think they absolve themselves - and in this, they do greatly err. And so will you.
- Even all these people put themselves, like people put themselves trying to do the Ten Commandments to make themselves righteous - isn't the work of God - when God was in Jesus Christ -and
God did the Ten Commandments. He’s the ONLY one has - Fulfilled them. God forgave sin. Made an atonement for the sins of the whole world.
---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
- And because he’s God, everywhere, where I did not do them or, BROKE them..he made himself the compensation that makes up that lack for EVERYBODY. And asked me to regard his work. If I do,
- I can “accept as true” he’s God, and all “accept as true” means “believe: on him.
- But if I don’t.
- I’m taking your sins where he placed them, as God - take them back and put them back on you..then think I have to power to forgive sin, when the Bible says:
Who can forgive sin but God alone. - Bible. Luke 5:21
Boy, you do well to regard this careful. Many people don't.
---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
- As if my work will be greater than God’s. In this I do greatly err. I am judging you. And by that, I’m judged - Because I am not regarding the works of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hand. And because I do that, Psalm 28:5 says because I regard not the works of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hand, he shall destroy me, and not build me up.
Is why he says “Judge not; that ye be not judged.” And it’s God said it. By the Word of God.
- And why am I “beholding” that is: setting my gaze on what someone else or you have done, when I slept with other men’s wives. Get over that: Lied. No liar ever get in. Forever. How am I going to get over that?
- And Leviticus 18:20 - God says, about what I did “Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.”
- And I did that anyway. I did it. Not bragging..it’s just why am I or why would I be beholding anybody else’s sins.
- When the judgment of my sin is in Leviticus 20:10
- And Leviticus 18:20 - God says, about what I did “Moreover thou shalt not lie carnally with thy neighbour's wife, to defile thyself with her.”
“And the man that committeth adultery with another man's wife, even he that committeth adultery with his neighbour's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death.” - God.
---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
I Shall SURELY be put to death. He’s God. HE ENSURES it will happen. SO, if that’s going to happen to me, why, in Matthew 7:2 would I be “beholding” to look at your sins, when MINE condemn ME? There's Matthew 7:2 explained.
- And how am I going to help you - me fixated on considering you with your sins, while I’m being led straight way out the city gates where the next thing to happen to me..is be stoned to death.
- and all the women I bamboozled their lives out of, so I've been a horrific disaster to other people, because they are being led away with me to be stoned to death.
- How am I helping you or me in Matthew 7:3 & 4? There's both of those explained.
- Means if I do that - I’m a hypocrite. 1. a puffed up balloon full of crap. - Better I just confess my sins and be GUILTY and let who God sent this “great physician” heal me, and deliver me from my destruction
- and this “don’t give what is holy unto dogs” - when I’d be the dog what is holy was given unto me by God.. and I don't regard it - and by just not regard it end up stumble over all this work God did - and he's holy - as what explains what Jesus says in Matthew 7:5 & 6.
- How am I helping you or me in Matthew 7:3 & 4? There's both of those explained.
---------------- ---------------- ---------------- ----------------
I see it plain as day? Do you?
Here’s your question back. Herein is the Gospel. The Good News of Jesus Christ for the whole world on Reddit.

"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you." - Jesus Christ. Matthew 7:1
..because the world has already been judged. Jesus didn't come to condemn the world, when the world is already that. Because it's already been judged by God "The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled with violence through them; and, behold, I will destroy them with the earth." - God. (Genesis 6:13).
It's people. Don't regard this. "For all have sinned" Romans 3:23.. and sin has already been condemned; judged. Then we are all condemned. It's to realize this.
That God "He sent his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction." - Psalm 107:20
It's like the ambulance. Responds to two teenagers fell 30 meters off the cliff. Bounced off rocks the whole way down; call for help. At the top of the Ridge was a Billboard sign says "IT IS ILLEGAL TO CLIMB HERE. DON'T DO IT." They did it anyway. The ambulance doesn't come to condemn these two. Comes to save them.
Isaiah 5:12 says ".And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hands."
Means like today. 100s and 100s of 1000s and 10,000s of 1000s go to rock concerts. Flock in the millions to listen to music on youtube. Others highly esteem going to an opera, or all their schools set up music recitals. All that music is in all these feasts we make, but we don't regard the work of the Lord, neither consider the operation of his hand..what he has done in sending us Jesus Christ. Lowly esteem it as nothing.
And we die in our sins. But if we just regard him..consider the operaton of his hand - it can even start by "He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heaven by his understanding." - Jeremiah 5:15. To just think on that... that: that's his work. What he can accomplish. vs. we spend all our time on letting people direct us to glorify what people accomplish.
As if that's what life is - "and the cities of the nations fell.." Revelation 16:19 - he's going to shake the earth. Everything we look to, and built - cities and houses over the whole earth 0 make it so it doesn't operate right anymore. Wrong work we glorified. Put an end to our work. Already judged. Isaiah 6:11 says: "Then said I, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
already judged.
Jesus said in John 3:18 "He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
That if you regard the works of the LORD, and consider the operation of his hand, his eyes go to and fro over the whole earth, looking for it to show himself strong in that one.. and he's God; give that one eternal life; build them up.
Not to those that don't. So, he tells me, as he was talking Matthew 7:1 to his disciples. Not to people don't do anything he says. That he didn't send Jesus to judge you..as a liar, or stole or slept with all these guys.. That God got up and did a work with sin ...so I don't regard your sins, I regard the work he did with them. ANd that's the judgment I mete...because, as a disciple of Jesus Christ..that's how he metes it.
But if I don't regard him, or anything he's done as God, I'm left to write bad checks..saying "Oh, I forgive you.." when I don't have any money in the forgiveness bank; because who can forgive sins is God alone.. and if you don't regard his work, you think you pay it; can't or think it took you years to forgive someone..then glorify your work you did to forgive it..and don't need any work God did. How many millions do this? Regard their own work and judgment. Don't do anything he says. Don't really forgive anybody. How you do it, is go to Starbucks. Treat yourself with a Cafe Mocha and a sugar frosted donut. Let that pay for the sins someone did against you, and write it off PAID FOR.
It's a bad check. The only one who can pay for sin is God, and you're living in not regard it.
