And emphasize those over the rest and sound reason?
"Judge not lest you be judged" he certainly did say that but he didn't say be stupid.

"Judge not lest ye be judged" is WAY overused and abused by people who want to continue their sinful habits and not change.
Jesus also said plenty about picking your buddy up out of a ditch if you see him fall in, helping people out, etc.
If I see you doing something that will potentially destroy your life or someone else's, if I don't point out your folly then I am doing you a grave disservice.
Read the Pauline Epistles as well, Paul wrote 13 books of the NT, seems like he did a lot of judging when he wrote to the people in those churches.
But he made sure he had his own ducks in a row first! (That would be the "Beam in your own eye" thing)

Like most people christians also have doubts in life. So to confirm there beliefs they add on or use a blame shifting technique to strengthen there case/argument. Most times it is not done in a negative sence but damage is done due to the fact that quite a few people know the bible. Or maybe they think they are :KNOW IT ALL'S"

Same reason opponents of the Bible use quotations out-of-context ... both parties are trying to manipulate the situation in their favor.
And they're both wrong.

a million) Agree. 2)Agree. 3) i don't believe of they even evaluate that & in case you've already got a faith, they need to transform you. 4) the position I stay, it really is continuously the JWitnesses who approach everywhere. 5)that stands out as the case, pert of the time. 6) Agree. i imagine those who adhere to bigger severe faiths supply a nasty call to faith commonly. there is no longer something like tolerance. Why might want to I problem myself about a neighbor's, a clerk's, everybody's faith. faith is an exceedingly deepest remember, & might want to stay so.

Indeed the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two edged sword, piercing until it divides soul from spirit, joints from marrow; it is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And before him no creature is hidden, but all are naked and laid bare to the eyes of the one to whom we must render an account...

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.
When a man strikes you on the cheek, turn to him the other as well.
Man, I wish they would stop taking stuff out of context too.

Atheists do too just to make Jesus seem like a worthless nobody and God look like a hack. A christian may accidentally misinterpret scripture, but atheists will twist it around intentionally.

It's not for you to say following the Bible is stupid. For instance, my friends say it's stupid for me to be subservient to my husband, but the Bible gives him headship over me so I have to do what he says. Enough said. Just pray more.

Stupid would be to reason without God in your heart mind & soul. The world is full of such people. Which side of the line do you fall on? Do not put your faith in a book, but in the author of it ( GOD ALLMIGHTY) !!!!!!!

Well, you are supposed to take the text out of context to suit whatever it is you want it to mean in order to make God agree with what you like
