Don’t
judge others, and you will not be judged. Don’t accuse others of being guilty,
and you will not be accused of being guilty. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.”
Luke 6:37
I have
heard preachers quote this verse more than once as the “favorite Bible verse of
this generation”, implying they use it as a cloak to keep people from pointing
out their sinful behavior. Of course, the sermon continues with a long list of “contemporary
sins”, condemning each one along the way.
