Thanks for joining us at cold case Christianity. I'm Jay Warner Wallace. Today I want to take a look at a verse that is so commonly and repeatedly

misinterpreted either by Christians who are well-meaning or by those who oppose

us who are trying to silence us. And I think it really

is the most often recited or repeated verse that is used by people who are trying to quiet

Christians. S settle down Christian.

Remember, your Savior, Jesus Christ said not to judge.

You hear it all the time, do not judge

so that you will not be judged.

This idea that we are not to judge, lest we too should be judge,

is often repeated, and it's usually repeated in just that way, right? And especially in a culture right now, where the idea

is to silence us rather than to allow us a voice. And I think we have to admit that that is happening.

Now look, I don't want to overstate that problem, but I think you recognize that if nothing else,

we are probably the least popular of all worldviews that are held by citizens in our country, even though

we are by far in the majority, right?

I think 70% still would say that they are some form, have some form of Christian belief.

Okay, great. It doesn't mean that you're going to some form of Christian belief. Okay, great.

Doesn't mean though that you're going to be popular holding that belief.
