This is one of the most searched Bible phrases online. Usually used to shut down conversation. But Jesus’ words are far more specific. In Matthew 7, “judge not” refers to hypocritical judgment— condemning others while refusing self-examination. Jesus does not forbid discernment. He forbids moral superiority. That matters, because many believers feel confused. They are told silence equals love, and conviction equals cruelty. But Scripture does not ask you to abandon wisdom. It asks you to abandon arrogance. If you struggled to speak truth without sounding harsh, that tension is biblical—not sinful. The Bible never erased moral clarity. It corrected the posture behind it. #BibleMisconceptions #MandelaEffect #BiblicalContext #ChristianWisdom #DidYouKnow
