In this episode of The Bible Show, Sam and Will dive into Matthew chapter 7 and tackle one of the most misquoted verses in the Bible: "Do Not Judge." They explain what Jesus actually meant, why Christians are still called to make wise moral judgments, and how failing to judge evil actually harms innocent people. You'll learn the Greek word "krino," which literally means "to separate," and how that changes everything about how we read this passage. The episode also covers the log and the speck (Matthew 7:3-5), what "pearls before swine" really means, and when wisdom says to hold back rather than share. Whether you're new to faith or rethinking what you've been taught about judgment, this episode will challenge you to examine your own heart first. Like, comment, and subscribe for more.
