Hey guys, welcome to Relatable.

Happy Monday.

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving and a good restful weekend.

Today, we are going to pick that cup on a series that we started a few weeks ago called

Most Missus, where we go through popular verses that are decontextualized, misinterpreted,

misapplied both by people who are in the church and people who are not Christians at all

and yet might cite particular verses in order to make a point in some kind of debate

or conversation.

One of those verses that is most commonly misused is Matthew 7-1, judge not that you

be not judged.

A couple of weeks ago, we did Psalm 37-4 to light yourself in the Lord and you will

give you the desires of your heart.

We will do others in the future like Jeremiah 29-11, Philippians 4-13, as well as some others

that have been suggested to me.

But we are going to focus on this verse, Matthew 7-1, and what I'm going to say, it might

surprise you no matter where on the theological spectrum you land.

I might not land on this exactly where you've heard evangelicals land on this in the

past or maybe so.

Maybe you've heard exactly everything of what I'm going to say today.

But I do have critiques for how both liberal and conservative Christians interpret this

verse.

And when I say liberal and conservative, I don't necessarily mean political.
