Every one of us exists under the auspices of an original intent, that a man and woman came together whereas procreation was furthered. We were given inalienable citizenry (in earth) as male and female and since then we sought diversifying our portfolios, soon answerable unto Heaven’s regard (cf. Gal.2:20) and not consideration unto popular thought from man. As believers and unbelievers alike make judgments all the day long, predominant decontextualizing of scripture has rehearsed “You can’t judge” and while having read this biblical excerpt, many neglected verse 5 at chapter 7 of Matthew that synopsizes the charge by insisting we resolve onto existing in the same sin of our complaint towards another while seeking to correct another’s unfruitful endeavor as hypocrisy for us. While to judge is synonymous with discerning/evaluating, every human being is without an authoritative moral code of their own, so many of us rely/trust in God’s Word as our most excellent base in doing so.
