Jefferson said:onchiki, a simple yes or no answer is all I want here. When a Christian has first removed the plank from his own eye and therefore is no longer a hypocrite, is he then allowed to judge his brother according to Matthew 7:1-5? Yes, or no?
Also, aren't you judging us? And doesn't that make you a hypocrite since you don't think people should judge?
If a christian has removed the mote from his eye, shouldn't he show love, compassion, humility,etc.?
Lack of all of these is a likened to a tree growing out of your eye, and it is much harder to judge rightly, or even, in a loving manner.
It is easy to judge to tear down. It is much harder to judge to edify.
