For the Bride: Pivotal Passages–2

Today, I share some passages which have led me to advocate the practice of non-judgment…

Ps 62:3-4
Ps 75:7. (and the host of related OT passages)
Mt 7:1
Mk 9:42
Acts 10:28
Romans 2:1-5
Romans 14:10
1 Cor 4:5
2 Cor 5:18-19
James 2:11
James 4:12

When we turn to the Christian tradition in a few weeks, we will see how immediately, deeply, and seriously the early Christians took the practice of non-judgment. We will see how we have deteriorated in living by this biblical admonition across the centuries, particularly today in our post-Enlightenment belief that we not only have the right, but the responsibility to be judgmental.
