Judging People In The Gospel Of Matthew
In the Bible, I was able to fully analyze a chapter in the Gospel of Matthew. The chapter that I picked was Matthew 7:1-6. In this chapter, the title is called “Judging Others”, in which God teaches us about judgment towards others. In my opinion, the way that this was explained made a lot of sense. It made sense because it gave reasoning to why spirituality is prevalent in certain people. People like myself have been taught that judging others is not a well habit. This chapter goes into details by explaining Gods reasoning towards judging and how it is not beneficial towards his people. In the beginning of this chapter, the author of the Bible states, “Stop judging, that you may not be judged” (Matthew 7:1). Based on my general knowledge about …show more content…
In chapter seven, verse two also depicts the reasoning behind the judgment of others. It states, “For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you will measure will be measured out to you” (Matthew 7:2). This verse is also another reason behind Gods word of judgment by how He views judgment. From my understanding, this verse means that if you judge then you will be judged no matter what situation it is in. Overall, judging others is not something God want us to practice. He wants us to love one another without having a negative thought towards others. Based off of this chapter, it basically states that there is a correspondence between the actions towards one’s fellows and His conducts towards one actions. The strengths of this chapter were explaining how people can be hypocrites if they talk about others judging when they judge. Another strength is knowing that we can be only judged by God. The weaknesses will be the explaining of what God will judge you by. Overall, this chapter gave a clear understanding of what judgment is and how God want us to know exactly why we cannot judge

    “Senior Picture Day” is a short story by Michele Serros. It’s her own narrative story explaining how she got a habit of squeezing her nose sides firmly to nostrils to base every morning and some time when she is brushing her teeth and waiting for her tortilla to heat. It is because she wants her nose to become smaller, narrower and look less Indian; like her friend Terri’s nose. Even though nobody knows the difference after her effort, she feels it actually worked by comparing her class pictures. She is talking graduation picture today and she feels it would be her best picture in the year-book.…

To watch the continuous efforts of one man putting everything he had into keeping his men safe, healthy, and alive was almost implausible. Earnest Shackleton’s accomplishments, especially during the time he did it, will stand the test of time. It was his tremendous leadership skills which aided him with the success of not only reaching safety, but keeping 27 men content enough to continue to want to follow him.…

    Romans 2: 1-3 relates perfectly to all the overwhelming emotions going through me, “Therefore you have no excuse, O man, every one of you who judges. For in passing judgment on another you condemn yourself, because you, the judge, practice the very same things. We know that the judgment of God rightly falls on those who practice such things. Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?” I used to dig on people constantly about the dumbest things regarding their appearances and their personalities. Although I would never have the courage to tell them to their faces what I actually thought of them, what if I had? What if I told them all the mean and hateful things I gossiped behind their backs and thought in my head? Those were the hard questions God placed in my head over the next few…

    Furthermore, this passage elucidates Jesus Teaching on morality and ethics because it is a about love. Jesus wants us to love everyone and everything. By showing love and compassion for others, we are setting a stellar example for our Church community. In our faith, we must seek to reconcile with those we might not like, and show love and forgiveness. Love means so much in the world we live in. In my opinion, I think that Jesus is teaching us that we must love in order to fulfill the words he speaks. In the passage Jesus proclaimed that, “This is how all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”(John 13:35). In this…

    The first 39 books of the larger work called the Bible, is called the Old Testament. The Bible itself is arguably the best selling and most read book of all time, yet it’s well known to be quite challenging to read through and understand. The Old Testament portion of the Bible, notably the most difficult portion of the Bible for most to study and follow, yields 39 books from multiple authors, and spans over 4000 years of crucial world and church history. If that were not enough to take on, the Old Testament comes our way through multiple styles of authorship and formats, including but not limited to, books of history, law, proverbs, ethics, philosophy, treatises, dramas, songs, epics, biographies, and letters. There have been many books written and published to survey, explain, and/or bring to light the Old Testament, but none more helpful to me than the review subject of this paper, the work of Dr. Elmer L. Towns, entitled “A Journey Through the Old Testament”.…
