Matthew 7, verse 1.
"Do not judge lest you be judged. "For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you. "And why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? "Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye? "You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye. "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.”
What does the last part of this mean?

the last part means exactly what is happening here now in YA between believers and unbelievers. what believers considers as holy and pearls are the good news,salvation and faith which means foolishness and stupidity to unbelievers. look how unbelievers show disrespect and arrogance.
GOD already knew what will happen in the future thats why he already gave that message and warning to believers.

What value would a pig have for pearls or a dog for religion . They live on instinct alone to survive whereas a man requires beauty and religion for his spirit.

I guess pigs do not like pearls. From the looks of it, they get really irate. I'd leave well enough alone if I were you.

As unfortunate as it may be, the thought came to my mind that that is exactly what happened to the Jewish believers after they brought the gospel to the Gentiles.

There are those that see no value in God or spiritual things...When you encounter these people do not try to persuade them with great spiritual meanings as they have no value in these things..God is there for those who se value in him as it is written that many are called but few are chosen...God reveals himself to those who see his value and diligently seek him.
