Judge Not? Hold on a Second!
The Bible verse "do not judge" is probably one of the most quoted by non-believers, and it is incredibly important that Christians debunk the misinterpretation of this verse, Pastor Craig Groeschel of Life.Church said in a recent sermon.
Groeschel, head pastor of the multi-site Life.Church, addressed Matthew 7:1-2 in his recent series on the most misinterpreted verses of the Bible, saying this verse causes controversy because it is "probably the number one most quoted Bible verse by non-Christians and one of the more popularly quoted verses by Christians."
The pastor described the verse, which reads "Do not judge, or you too will be judged," as incredibly complicated and incredibly important to address because "it's no secret that this theme alone is probably the number one thing that drives non-Christians away from Christianity."
