Judge Rightly: What Jesus Actually Said About Judgement and Confronting Evil | Ep. 129
Challenging the world's false teachings of Christ.
Thank you Megan Against Injustice, RN & Bryan Horton, for joining to share your thoughts!
On this live stream episode I tackle two of the most misunderstood teachings in Christianity: “Judge not” and “Turn the other cheek.”
Through careful Scripture examination, we’ll discover what Jesus actually meant when He taught about judgment - and why He calls us to confront evil rather than stay silent about it.
In This Live Stream:
- The truth about Matthew 7:1-5 and judging correctly
- Why “don’t judge” has been weaponized to silence biblical truth
- Jesus confronting evil in the temple (it wasn’t gentle)
- The seven woes - Jesus calling out the Pharisees
- Turning the other cheek vs. tolerating wickedness
- Live Q&A with community members Megan and Brian
Key Scriptures Explored:
- Matthew 7:1-5 (Judge not - the full context)
- John 7:24 (Judge correctly)
- 1 Corinthians 5:12-13 (Our responsibility to judge within the church)
- Matthew 5:38-42 (Turn the other cheek)
- Matthew 21:12-13 (Jesus cleansing the temple)
- Matthew 23 (The seven woes)
- Ephesians 5:10-11 (Expose the deeds of darkness)
- Proverbs 27:6 (Wounds from a sincere friend)
This episode challenges us to:
- Examine our own hearts first before judging others
- Distinguish between hypocritical judgment and righteous discernment
- Confront false teaching and sin with courage and love
- Not return evil for evil while still standing against wickedness
- Judge actions and teachings, not eternal destinies
