Burnishing Bigotry - 3rd edition

TWO – Seeing as how it‘s clearly God’s job to evaluate the worthiness of sinners,
it is per se NOT YOUR JOB to do so. Hence, Jesus‘ repeated calls for us all (including you
& yours) to keep our mouths shut about the sins of others … Again, please consider:
―Do not judge, so that you may not be judged. For with the judgment you make you will
be judged, and the measure you give will be the measure you get. Why do you see the speck in
your neighbor‘s eye, but do not notice the log in your own? … You hypocrite! First take the log
out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to identify the speck in your neighbor‘s … Let
only [she] who is without sin cast the first stone … Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees; you
hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup [of others], but inside are full of greed and selfindulgence.
You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of your own cup, so that the outside might
also become truly clean.‖ ~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 7:1-5 + John 8:7 + Matthew 23:25-26)
―Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter
the Kingdom of Heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this young child is the greatest in the
Kingdom … Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful … A new commandment I give to you:
that you Love one another. Just as I have Loved, so you also are to Love one another. By this
all people will know that you are my disciples: when you show Love for one another … Be
perfect [in LOVE] therefore, just as [the LOVE] of your Father in Heaven is perfect.‖
~ Jesus Christ (Matthew 18:3-4 + Luke 6:36 + John 13:34-35 + Matthew 5:48)
