Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.

And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive you your sins.

Originally posted by DoctorScribblesFirst off you need to look at the hole verse and also verse 38.
Does this mean that if I don't send anybody to hell, God won't send me to hell?
From this, can we conclude that Galileo must have condemned somebody, since he himself was condemned?
A forgiving spirit demonstrates that a person has received God's forgiveness. Jesus uses the picture of measuring grain in a basket to ensure the full amount. If we are critical rather than compassionate, we will also receive criticism. If we treat others generously, graciously, and compassionately, however, these qualities will come back to us in full measure. We are to love others, not judge them. And when you witness to a lost person and show them their sins you are not judging them you are helping them.
