Taken Out Of Context
What is the most misunderstood phrase in the Book of Truth (The Bible)?
Once there was a man who liked to help the police stop crimes. He would watch people to look for unusual behavior. He would then investigate to see if there was any indication of criminal activity that was causing this behavior. Several times he had discovered significant evidence and had called his friend who was a detective at the police department. His tips had lead to several arrests and sometimes even prevented a serious crime from being committed.
This man had a neighbor whom he did not really know. He knew the name of his neighbor and some things like that but he never really spent any time with his neighbor. They never did anything together so that the man might know the character of his neighbor. The man did his thing and his neighbor did likewise. It was safe to say that he had a very casual and superficial relationship with his neighbor.
After a while the man noticed that his neighbor would leave his house by foot every Tuesday evening and be gone for a few hours. When his neighbor returned sometimes he was very happy and other times rather glum. This made the man curious about what was going on. So one Tuesday he decided to secretly follow his neighbor to try to learn what he kept doing every Tuesday night.
The man followed his neighbor into the industrial part of town. His neighbor went into the darkened building that looked like a warehouse then used a chain and lock to secure the door behind him. The man quietly crept up to the door to find see if he could see or hear anything that might give him a hint of what was going on.
The door was slightly cracked a few inches so the man could make that out his neighbor and some other men, some in ordinary clothes and some wearing business suits, were gathered around something like a table. He heard his neighbor say "The die is cast" and then he heard a faint rattling sound. Then his neighbor handed something to one of the other men and said "I'm betting on this". The other man stepped slightly out of sight and then there was a spinning sound. The other men all began stirring excitedly. Finally his neighbor exclaimed with great delight, "It looks like I got finally got lucky." Then one of the men in a business suit said, "Your gamble paid off and you are going to be rich."
The man suddenly believed that he understood what was going on. It all fit together: the mysterious trips every Tuesday, the change in moods after the trips, the comment about the die being cast, the spinning sound like that of a roulette wheel, the neighbor finally getting lucky and becoming rich because his gamble had paid off. He had obviously stumbled upon an underground casino! His neighbor had been gambling every Tuesday which was totally illegal in the state they lived in. The men in the business suits were probably gangsters. The other men were probably fellow gamblers. The man slipped away as quietly as he could and called his friend at the police station. His friend listened to his story and then said that the police would move immediately to catch them in the act before any of them could escape.
About an hour later, his friend called him back and asked him to meet him at a local diner. When the man arrived his friend said that he had to show him something. They got in the car and his friend drove him to the warehouse. His friend told him that the police had acted immediately on his tip and had caught the entire group in their secret business. He wanted to show his friend exactly what that secret business was.
When they arrived and went into the warehouse the man could hardly believe his eyes. There on the table that everyone had been gathered around was a mold for making an object out of metal. His friend explained what had really happened.
His neighbor had been working on a secret invention with some of his friends. They would each work on a piece of the invention during the week and then meet every Tuesday night to collaborate together. Sometimes things went well and sometimes they did not go well so the mood of his neighbor was effected accordingly. When his neighbor said that the die had been cast he was referring to the metal die that had been recently cast into the last missing piece of his invention. One of his friends got excited and accidentally dropped a hex nut on the table which made the rattling sound. His neighbor was betting that the new piece would solve the last remaining issue with the invention. When they tried out his invention with the new piece attached it finally worked and produced the spinning sound that he had heard. This caused his neighbor to make the comment about finally getting lucky. The men in business suits were investors to help with the mass production of his invention and one of them said that his neighbor was going to rich due the risk he had taken to create his invention.
You see there were reasons for the man coming to the wrong conclusion. He did not really know his neighbor. He had preconceived notions about the motives of his neighbor. He did not have all of the facts because he was outside of the warehouse looking in. So it was inevitable that he came to the wrong conclusion.
Even though what he had heard and seen could have meant that there was an illegal gambling operation going on it proved to not be the case. The statements he heard when taken out of context had lead him to believe something about his neighbor that were completely false. The text of the words taken out of context lead to a pretext that was complete nonsense.
The real problem is that this man is hardly unique. Every day millions of Americans and others do the exact same thing.
They have heard that the Man of Truth (Yah'shua aka Yeshua aka Jesus aka Mashiach aka Messiah aka Christ) said "Judge not, that you be not judged" without considering the context in which these words were spoken. They have concluded that no one is to ever judge anything that anyone else is doing as ever being wrong nor are they to judge that anyone is ever good or bad based on their actions.
They will use this to say that the Man of Truth was teaching that no none should ever say that anyone else is doing something wrong when they do things like men having sex with women that they are not married to, men having sex with other men, getting drunk, taking hallucinogenic drugs and the like. They use this to say that the Man of Truth was teaching that no one that does these things are not in anyway evil.
Is this what the Man of Truth really meant? If so, then he was also teaching that no none should ever say that anyone else is doing something wrong when they do things like murdering people, gang raping women, kidnapping children, spraying a mist containing anthrax in a crowded subway car, torturing innocent babies and the like. The Man of Truth would also be saying that people like Hitler, Stalin, Jeffery Dahmer, and Osama bin Laden were not in anyway evil. After all, if that is what he meant then who are we to judge?
"Judge not, that you be not judged" is the most misunderstood phrase in the entire Book of Truth. It has been used to justify anything that people can imagine to do as right and to say that nothing that people can do is ever evil. In fact, taken out of context, "Judge not, that you be not judged" could mean that there is no moral standard of any sort that the Father of Truth (Yahoveh aka Yahweh aka God aka THE LORD) will hold anyone to. There would be no basis for Him to judge anyone. In fact, taken out of context, "Judge not, that you be not judged" could be mean that the Ten Commandments and everything else in the Law of Truth (The Torah aka The Law) was not valid. Is this really what the Man of Truth was teaching when he said "Judge not, that you be not judged"?
The only way to understand what the Man of Truth was teaching when he said "Judge not lest you be judged" is to examine it in the context of when it was spoken. We are now going to look at the passages where he said "Judge not that you be not judged" to see what it means in context. We will be able to understand what he was teaching when "Judge not lest you be judged" is no longer taken out of context.
So what is the context of "Judge not, that you be not judged"?
The best place to start is by looking at where the phrase occurs in the Book of Truth and see what was the circumstances when the Man of Truth spoke this phrase. This exact phrase occurs in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 7:1). It was part of a long teaching on how the Children of Truth (those that obey the Father of Truth because they love Him) are to live that starts when he calls those who want to learn how to follow him to come up on the mount to learn (Matthew 5:1-2). That teaching continued until he left the mount (Matthew 8:1). This long teaching is commonly called "The Sermon on the Mount".
So we will now examine the Sermon on the Mount to see whether or not it supports the idea that no one is to ever judge anything that anyone else is doing as ever being wrong nor are they to judge that anyone is ever good or bad based on their actions.
The Man of Truth started the Sermon on the Mount by saying that it is those that humble themselves before His Father that will be part of His Kingdom (Matthew 5:2-5). He said that those that desire to do what is right and show mercy to others will be brought in by the mercy of His Father (Matthew 5:6-7). He said that only the pure heart that seek to be at peace with others are who will see His Father and be called His Children (Matthew 5:8-9). He said that those who are persecuted for doing what is right are who the Kingdom of His Father belongs to (Matthew 5:10). He said that they are blessed because they are rejected by others for the same reasons as the Prophets of Truth (Matthew 5:11-12). He said that like the Prophets of Truth they are to let the world know what is right and wrong (Matthew 5:13-16). He said that he came to show people how to do what the Law of Truth defines as right and wrong (Matthew 5:17-19).
The Man of Truth said to that putting on a religious show is not enough to enter the Kingdom of His Father (Matthew 5:20). He then explained how to fulfill many of the commandments of the Law of Truth as His Father intended (Matthew 5:21-37).
The Man of Truth explained how to fulfill the commandment to not seek revenge on those who wrong us (Matthew 5:38-39). He explained that instead of taking revenge we are to give them what they need need including them love loans as commanded in the Law of Truth (Matthew 5:40-42). He explained that loving people as commanded in the Law of Truth is more than just loving those that love us (Matthew 5:43-49). He explained how to fulfill the commandments to give to the poor (Matthew 6:1-4). He explained how to pray in a way that shows that we do not despise those commandments but rather have faith in His Father who gave them (Matthew 6:5-13). He explained the absolute necessity of forgiving others for harming us when they transgressed those commandments if we want the Father of Truth to forgive us for transgressing those same commandments (Matthew 6:14-15). He explained how to fast as His Father desires (Matthew 6:16-18). He then explained that if we take care of the needs of others as commanded in the Law of Truth then His Father will take care of our needs (Matthew 6:19-34).
It was in the context of this giving to take care of others that the Man of Truth said that we are not judge rather or not they deserve our help when they ask because we do not want the Father of Truth to judge whether or not we deserve His help when we ask (Matthew 7:1-2). He said we cannot help people with the lessor matters of the Law of Truth until we have taken care of these weightier matters (Matthew 7:3-5). He said to be careful to not give help to people that enables them to do what is contrary to the Law of Truth (Matthew 7:6). The Man of Truth said that His Father will give those who do obey these commandments in the way that he instructed whatever they ask Him for (Matthew 7:7-11). He said that taking care of others as we would want them to take care of us fulfills the Law of Truth as the Prophets of Truth warned Israel to do (Matthew 7:12).
The Man of Truth went on to warn that the way of life that comes from obeying these commandments was a narrow path that few will find (Matthew 7:13-14). He warned of the Prophets of Lies who are religious professionals that seek to destroy people by getting them off of that path (Matthew 7:15). He said that we can tell the Prophets of Lies from the Prophets of Truth by whether or not they are doing what is commanded in the Law of Truth (Matthew 7:16-20).
The Man of Truth even said that even people who may have at one time been used by the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost) in a spectacular way still do not know His Father and will not enter His Kingdom if they did not do the will of His Father by keeping these commandments (Matthew 7:21-23). He finished the Sermon on the Mount by saying that it was absolutely foolish to hear his teaching on how to keep these commandments of the Law of Truth and not put that teaching into practice (Matthew 7:24-28).
There is also another place in the Book of Truth with very similar phrasing, "Judge not and ye shall not be judged". This exact phrase occurs in the Gospel of Luke (Luke 6:37). It was part of a much shorter teaching than the Sermon on the Mount about on how the Children of Truth are to live that starts when people seek out the Man of Truth to healed by him after he arrived on the plain (Luke 6:17-19). That teaching continued until he went to Capernaum (Kfar Nahum) (Luke 7:1). This long teaching is commonly called "The Sermon on the Plain".
The Man of Truth taught many of the same things in this sermon that he taught in the Sermon on the Mount. The Man of Truth started the Sermon on the Plain by saying it is those that suffer in this world who are blessed (Luke 6:20-21). He said that they are blessed because they suffer for the same reasons as the Prophets of Truth (Luke 6:22-23). He said it is those that are doing well in this world who are cursed (Luke 6:24-25). He said they are cursed because they are doing well for the same reasons as the Prophets of Lies (Luke 6:26).
The Man of Truth explained how to fulfill the commandment to not seek revenge on those who wrong us (Luke 6:27-28). He explained that instead of taking revenge we are to give them what they need need including love loans as commanded in the Law of Truth (Luke 6:29-30). He said He said that taking care of others as we would want them to take care of us fulfills the Law of Truth (Luke 6:31). He explained that loving people as commanded in the Law of Truth is more than just loving those that love us (Luke 6:32-34). He explained that showing love to even those who mistreat us by giving love loans when they need them as commanded in the Law of Truth shows that we are merciful like His Father (Luke 6:35-36).
It was in the context of this giving to take care of others that the Man of Truth said that we are not judge rather or not they deserve our help when they ask because we do not want the Father of Truth to judge whether or not we deserve His help when we ask (Luke 6:37). The Man of Truth said that His Father will cause other people to give to us when we obey these commandments in the way that he instructed as generously as we gave to others (Luke 6:38).
The Man of Truth said that we are blind and unable to show anyone how to live until we learn to obey these commandments (Luke 6:39-40). He said we cannot help people with the lessor matters of the Law of Truth until we have taken care of these weightier matters (Luke 6:41-42). He said that we can tell the Children of Lies from the Children of Truth by whether or not they are doing what is commanded in the Law of Truth (Luke 6:43-45). He finished the Sermon on the Plain by saying that it was absolutely foolish to hear his teaching on how to keep these commandments of the Law of Truth and not put that teaching into practice (Luke 6:46-49).
So we have seen that both "Judge not, that you be not judged" and "Judge not and ye shall not be judged" are both references to giving love loans to those that ask for them when take in the context of the sermons where they appear. They are both about showing love to other people without judging their worthiness by giving them love loans to meet their needs as explained in The Love Loan.
In fact we have shown the sermons that contain these phrase themselves say that we are to tell others to do what is right and to warn them against doing what is wrong. These sermons say that the Law of Truth is what the Father of Truth has given us to tell what is right and what is wrong. These sermons say that those who do what is right in the Law of Truth are righteous and those that do what is wrong in the Law of Truth are evil. The only way to get the idea that the Man of Truth told us to not judge any action or person as evil is by these phrases being taken out of context.
Why do people take these phrases out of context? Why do they tell other people something that is simply not true about the Man of Truth? They are just like the man that thought the wrong thing about his neighbor.
They do not really know the Man of Truth. They have preconceived notions about his motives. They do not have all of the facts because they are outside of the House of Truth looking in. So it is inevitable that they will come to the wrong conclusion.
Even though what they have heard could have meant that no one was to ever judge any action or person as evil it has been proven to not be the case. The statements they heard when taken out of context have lead them to believe something about the Man of Truth that is completely false. They have taken the text of his words out of context which lead them to a pretext that is complete nonsense.
These phrases are taken of context to somehow make the Man of Truth teach something completely different in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) than what His Father taught in the Law of Truth. It is not hard to see that this a lie.
The Man of Truth and His Father are one (John 10:30). The Renewed Covenant still defines sin as transgressing the Law of Truth (1 John 3:4).
There is no difference between what is right and wrong in the Law of Truth and the Renewed Covenant. For instance, the Law of Truth says homosexuality is evil and those that do these things will suffer death (Leviticus 20:13). The Renewed Covenant says the exact same thing (1 Corinthians 6:9).
These phrases are taken out of context due to an evil desire to change the definition of right and wrong instead of repenting of sin (Isaiah 5:20). Those that choose to believe and spread this lie instead of repenting will never enter into the Kingdom of the Man of Truth (Revelation 22:14-16).
The Man of Truth came to call people to repent of doing what His Father called evil - not to call good that which His Father had called evil (Luke 5:32). He said that the Children of Truth were to also preach repentance so that others could come into the House of Truth (Luke 24:45-47). Only those that repent of their sins will come into the House of Truth (Acts 3:19).
What about you? Perhaps you have taken these phrases out of context out of ignorance and are wondering what to do now. Now that you are not longer ignorant then you know that the Father of Truth commands you to repent and to come into the House of Truth (Acts 17:30). Instead of rebelling against Him based on these phrases taken out of context you can come into the House of Truth through repentance from these evil actions that lead to death (Hebrews 6:1). The Father of Truth is calling you to repentance because He does not wish for any to perish but for all to come into the House of Truth (2 Peter 3:9).
Those that come into the House of Truth will lose all interest in doing what the Law of Truth calls evil (Romans 6:2). Instead of basing your faith on a lie that arose from these phrases being taken out of context you can come into the House of Truth and be freed from your sin (Romans 6:22). You come into the House of Truth by surrendering to the Man of Truth because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).
Come into the House of Truth.
Once there was a man who liked to help the police stop crimes. He would watch people to look for unusual behavior. He would then investigate to see if there was any indication of criminal activity that was causing this behavior. Several times he had discovered significant evidence and had called his friend who was a detective at the police department.

So we will now examine the Sermon on the Mount to see whether or not it supports the idea that no one is to ever judge anything that anyone else is doing as ever being wrong nor are they to judge that anyone is ever good or bad based on their actions.
The Man of Truth started the Sermon on the Mount by saying that it is those that humble themselves before His Father that will be part of His Kingdom (Matthew 5:2-5). He said that those that desire to do what is right and show mercy to others will be brought in by the mercy of His Father (Matthew 5:6-7).

He said that they are blessed because they suffer for the same reasons as the Prophets of Truth (Luke 6:22-23). He said it is those that are doing well in this world who are cursed (Luke 6:24-25). He said they are cursed because they are doing well for the same reasons as the Prophets of Lies (Luke 6:26).
The Man of Truth explained how to fulfill the commandment to not seek revenge on those who wrong us (Luke 6:27-28). He explained that instead of taking revenge we are to give them what they need need including love loans as commanded in the Law of Truth (Luke 6:29-30). He said He said that taking care of others as we would want them to take care of us fulfills the Law of Truth (Luke 6:31). He explained that loving people as commanded in the Law of Truth is more than just loving those that love us (Luke 6:32-34). He explained that showing love to even those who mistreat us by giving love loans when they need them as commanded in the Law of Truth shows that we are merciful like His Father (Luke 6:35-36).
It was in the context of this giving to take care of others that the Man of Truth said that we are not judge rather or not they deserve our help when they ask because we do not want the Father of Truth to judge whether or not we deserve His help when we ask (Luke 6:37). The Man of Truth said that His Father will cause other people to give to us when we obey these commandments in the way that he instructed as generously as we gave to others (Luke 6:38).
The Man of Truth said that we are blind and unable to show anyone how to live until we learn to obey these commandments (Luke 6:39-40). He said we cannot help people with the lessor matters of the Law of Truth until we have taken care of these weightier matters (Luke 6:41-42). He said that we can tell the Children of Lies from the Children of Truth by whether or not they are doing what is commanded in the Law of Truth (Luke 6:43-45). He finished the Sermon on the Plain by saying that it was absolutely foolish to hear his teaching on how to keep these commandments of the Law of Truth and not put that teaching into practice (Luke 6:46-49).
So we have seen that both "Judge not, that you be not judged" and "Judge not and ye shall not be judged" are both references to giving love loans to those that ask for them when take in the context of the sermons where they appear. They are both about showing love to other people without judging their worthiness by giving them love loans to meet their needs as explained in The Love Loan.
In fact we have shown the sermons that contain these phrase themselves say that we are to tell others to do what is right and to warn them against doing what is wrong. These sermons say that the Law of Truth is what the Father of Truth has given us to tell what is right and what is wrong. These sermons say that those who do what is right in the Law of Truth are righteous and those that do what is wrong in the Law of Truth are evil. The only way to get the idea that the Man of Truth told us to not judge any action or person as evil is by these phrases being taken out of context.
Why do people take these phrases out of context? Why do they tell other people something that is simply not true about the Man of Truth? They are just like the man that thought the wrong thing about his neighbor.
They do not really know the Man of Truth. They have preconceived notions about his motives. They do not have all of the facts because they are outside of the House of Truth looking in. So it is inevitable that they will come to the wrong conclusion.
Even though what they have heard could have meant that no one was to ever judge any action or person as evil it has been proven to not be the case. The statements they heard when taken out of context have lead them to believe something about the Man of Truth that is completely false. They have taken the text of his words out of context which lead them to a pretext that is complete nonsense.
These phrases are taken of context to somehow make the Man of Truth teach something completely different in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) than what His Father taught in the Law of Truth. It is not hard to see that this a lie.
The Man of Truth and His Father are one (John 10:30). The Renewed Covenant still defines sin as transgressing the Law of Truth (1 John 3:4).
There is no difference between what is right and wrong in the Law of Truth and the Renewed Covenant. For instance, the Law of Truth says homosexuality is evil and those that do these things will suffer death (Leviticus 20:13). The Renewed Covenant says the exact same thing (1 Corinthians 6:9).
These phrases are taken out of context due to an evil desire to change the definition of right and wrong instead of repenting of sin (Isaiah 5:20). Those that choose to believe and spread this lie instead of repenting will never enter into the Kingdom of the Man of Truth (Revelation 22:14-16).
The Man of Truth came to call people to repent of doing what His Father called evil - not to call good that which His Father had called evil (Luke 5:32). He said that the Children of Truth were to also preach repentance so that others could come into the House of Truth (Luke 24:45-47). Only those that repent of their sins will come into the House of Truth (Acts 3:19).
What about you? Perhaps you have taken these phrases out of context out of ignorance and are wondering what to do now. Now that you are not longer ignorant then you know that the Father of Truth commands you to repent and to come into the House of Truth (Acts 17:30). Instead of rebelling against Him based on these phrases taken out of context you can come into the House of Truth through repentance from these evil actions that lead to death (Hebrews 6:1). The Father of Truth is calling you to repentance because He does not wish for any to perish but for all to come into the House of Truth (2 Peter 3:9).
Those that come into the House of Truth will lose all interest in doing what the Law of Truth calls evil (Romans 6:2). Instead of basing your faith on a lie that arose from these phrases being taken out of context you can come into the House of Truth and be freed from your sin (Romans 6:22). You come into the House of Truth by surrendering to the Man of Truth because you believe that His Father raised him from the dead (Romans 10:8-10).
Come into the House of Truth.
