DO NOT JUDGE AND YOU WILL NOT BE JUDGED. DO NOT CONDEMN AND YOU WILL NOT BE CONDEMNED.

I agree that if your religion requires that you have to hate someone you need a new religion. If you are not agree in something you simple will say NO, thats it! Many people quit their jobs because they are not agree with the new policies of the company or because something is affecting their personal ethics and believes. Pope Benedict XVI resigned and we have many examples that people quit their positions because they are not agreed with the policies from the company or system a few days ago it was on the news that a Montana man quits government job rather than helps ICE hunt down and deport undocumented immigrants. So my point is if you are not agree with something or someone, do not judge, do not condemn and you will not be judged and condemned as Jesus is telling us in Matthew 7, 1-2 “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged," so, Jesus warned us to not judge, criticize and condemn others, so that we will not be judged, criticized and condemned ourselves. Only God is qualified to judge. Only God is qualified to deal with our sins. However wrong we or others may be, that is a matter for God to deal with. When we do judge each other, we are often completely wrong. So who am I to judge others? Or who are you to judge others?
