They do check fruits. Everyone elses fruits. But would prefer if you didn't check theirs.
And it really doesn't say Not to Judge... the verses that say "judge not lest you be judged by the measure you mete out" should read "condemn not, lest you be condemned by the same measure you mete out"... Judging and Condemning are 2 different things. How do you expect someone to check anothers fruits without judging their actions/words? It's impossible. You can't call fruit rotten without judging it first. But you can call it rotten without sending them to hell. ^_^

God does not demand the same amount of preaching from all of us. Jesus indicated this in the illustration of the sower, which likened the preaching work to sowing seeds. The seed fell on different types of soil, illustrating the different types of heart conditions manifested by those who hear the message. “As for the one sown upon the fine soil,” explained Jesus, “this is the one hearing the word and getting the sense of it, who really does bear fruit and produces, this one a hundredfold, that one sixty, the other thirty.” (Matthew 13:3-8, 18-23) What is this fruitage, and why is it produced in varying amounts?
Since the seed that is sown is “the word of the kingdom,” the bearing of fruitage refers to spreading that word, speaking it out to others. (Matthew 13:19) The amount of fruitage produced varies—from thirtyfold to a hundredfold—because abilities and circumstances in life differ. A person with good health and physical stamina may be able to spend more time in preaching than can one whose strength is sapped by a chronic health condition or by advancing age. A young single person who is free from family responsibilities may be able to do more than can one who has to work full-time to provide for a family.
In God’s view, is the whole-souled person producing thirtyfold less devoted than the one producing a hundredfold? By no means! The amount of fruitage may vary, but God is pleased as long as the service rendered is the best that our soul can give. Remember, the different amounts of fruitage all stem from hearts that are “fine soil.

You are such a hypocrite! It amazes me that you are this stupid. Have you read the Bible through and through with an honestly open mind? No - you can't cause you think that by attacking people you are right. Funny how you do this in a forum that people can't really answer you back - you are safe like this. I dare you to go and talk to real Christians, people who honestly try to follow their faith and ask these questions. You can't, you coward. Give people some slack, Christianity may not be perfect, but neither are you.

once you ask a "good judgment" question, you oftentimes vote for the least cogent, maximum vitriolic atheist pile of doo doo. So, the real question is, why would desire to a Christian hardship to reply to your so-stated as good judgment questions? as nicely that, i've got no longer seen too many good judgment questions right here besides. oftentimes you adult adult males are enjoying video games with "burden of evidence", affirming that information that meets the factors utilized by potential of historians isn't information in any respect, and by potential of ignoring something that doesn't extra wholesome into your narrow and illogical view of the international. it rather is not well worth answering you with good judgment, because of the fact maximum atheists understand as plenty approximately good judgment as Christians understand with regards to the Bible.

Are you referring to this verse?
Mat 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

The fruits of the spirit are there, But, evil thrives when rightous men do nothing. ( I am not rightous, but my God and savior, in the power of the Holy Spirit is.I am just a vessel, he pours what he wants to out of it.)

I know mine are rotten, but are your fruits ripe?
Judging is G--'s job. Not mine and not yours.
good luck

I suspect that you have never met a Christian, nor do you seem to have a grasp on Christianity.
This I believe;
