Judge not… Let he who is without sin cast the first stone… Father forgive them for they know not what they do… Take the beam out of your own eye… Didn’t come to condemn the world.. Told us to be meek, merciful and not to judge. He called out hypocrisy among religious people a lot tho

(1) It's actually talking about not condemning. The next command was telling us to make judgments, and how to do so.
(2) yes Let's not stone anyone. It's the ultimate condemnation.
(3) I'm so glad He exposed this heart. I need it more than anyone.
(4) Yes. The full quote is to get the beam out of your eye... so that you can see well enough to make proper judgements.
(5) Yah. Keep reading. It wasn't the time, but the time will come. That's why we don't need to condemn--seek time for the to repent, for God will condemn in due time.
(6) Told us to judge appropriately.
(7) That was the point of the sermon that you quoted heavily above--Clean up your own life so that when you judge, it's won't be hypocritical.


Matt 7:1-6 --
“Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

6 “Do not give dogs what is holy, and do not throw your pearls before pigs, lest they trample them underfoot and turn to attack you.

The word "judge" there is used in a judiciary manner--to condemn, avenge, apply justice. That's not our job; it's God's.

But we are then commanded to point out the sliver in the eye of our neighbor, which is telling to make judgments about our neighbor (expressly BECAUSE God will one day issue a condemning judgment). We're then told not to throw pearls before swine--i.e. told to make judgments between people we interact with.

The thought here is that we are not to put ourselves in the seat of judge and executioner. Leave that to God. But we should keep ourselves healthy enough to proclaim the gospel, which includes the knowledge of sin that compels acceptance of grace. And then, if we experience people who continually reject and mock the message, move on to proclaim others who may be open to the message.

Yeah, they never did any pre-recording of the skits. That's why they'd redo them if they messed up. Look up jr samples" trigonometry skit on you tube.

That’s the rub when it comes to the reality of socialism. It sounds all fine and dandy to „sock it to the rich“ as long as you adopt the normal leftist definition of rich as „anyone with more than me.“. What they never stop to realize is that, everyone beneath them in income must by the same definition view THEM as rich and would gladly tax them into oblivion as well. Liberals have absolutely no self awareness. They also have no idea how many people envy THEM. And government ALWAYS adjusts the definition of wealth downward. That means they will someday come for YOUR money and property.

It’s the reverse UNO. You’re always richer than someone else. Tax the rich has been said so much, low IQ voters need a boogeyman so they believe it. The left need to blame others for their own faults.

I'm sure Gutfeld is weeks away from creating a one-man right-wing SNL that will draw amazing ratings, followed shortly thereafter by right-wing Hollywood in Texas where Rob Schneider is the star of every movie. What could go wrong

Can someone explain or point me to an article that explains the NYC primary. I see stories where ZM trounced Cuomo, but i don't see how many first place vote he got versus the total cast in the Democratic primary or the total votes cast in both primaries. I also see that Eric Adams was on the D primary ballot but will be running as an independent in the general election, and that Cuomo is considering an independent run.
I'm curious as to whether ZM is as much a shoe in to be the next mayor of NYC as the usual democratic primary winner would be.
Was the NYC's first ranked choice election?

I don't think Eric Adams was on the primary ballot, I don't remember seeing him and he left the party before that. NYC has done ranked choice before but it wasn't a landslide like this, I saw somewhere that Adams won his primary by 0.6% while Zohran beat Cuomo by 12%. I'm sure the smear campaigns will be endless but he won the primary by a wide margin, and his turnout numbers were pretty shocking
