It is with this understanding that we can see why despite Jesus advice to us not to call someone a “fool “ but still used the same word on someone.

Matt 5:22 kj
But I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, ‘Raca,’ shall be in danger of the council; but whosoever shall say, ‘Thou fool,’ shall be in danger of hell fire.

To be in “danger of Hell” is like being in danger of being brought to heavens court of judgement, and after investigations, if found guilty you will be punished. Now, Jesus speaking based on heaven’s standard of truth, called someone “fool”.

Matthew 23:17

17 You blind fools! Which is greater: the gold, or the temple that makes the gold sacred?

Christians around the world often claim that Judging people is a sin because Jesus had told us not to do so. These Christians back their claims reciting Matthew 7:1-6

Matthew 7:1-6

“Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

The truth is that Jesus didn’t say that we shouldn’t judge. He only thought us the consequences of not doing it the right way. Remember that Jesus is not against justice and fairness.

Luke 11:42

Woe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God. You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.

Someone has got to be judged for justice to be effected. Imagine the chaos that will be in a society where people do as they like (robberies , killings and rapes) without a justice system in place.

Now, what Jesus is saying is that anyone who judges should do so based on the “truth”. This means do not say anything that is not correct or true about anyone. Jesus is against the sin of lying, anytime anyone judges someone based on evidences that are not correct is “lying “. That is why judges of this world have to be extremely careful, they must ensure that they establish the truth before pronouncing judgement on people.Hear what Jesus said below:

John 7:24 ESV
Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.

Now with this understanding let us further dig into what Jesus was trying to communicate to us in Matt 7 :1-6.

“Do not judge (it is better to remain neutral in matters you have not established the truth), or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others (if founded that your judgment was far from the truth, that will only make you a liar and a sinner) you will be judged, and with the measure you use (since you have become a liar judging people based on what is not true) it will be measured to
you (the punishment for liars will be given to
you too).

“Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? (Your sense of judgment is wrong by denying yourself of the truth, you believe that your brother has the biggest problem while you have little or no problem).

Therefore, we can conclude based on the scriptures here that if you must judge, it has to be done truthfully and not that you “should not” judge.

HOW TO CONNECT WITH JESUS

John14:6
Jesus told him ' I am the way-
Yes, and the truth and the life. No one can GET to the father (GOD) except by means of me (JESUS ).

Say lord Jesus am sorry for the sins have committed and today I accept you as the son of God and as my lord and personal savior. Help me to follow you now and for ever more. Amen!!!
