Should Christians Judge? If So, How?

Should Christians Judge? If So, How?

Author: Dale Partridge March 15, 2022 Duration: 31:18
In Matthew 7:1 Jesus says, “Do not judge so that you will not be judged.” What does this mean? Is this a universal command? If so, how is the civil court system called to exercise justice? How are Christians to exercise church discipline? How are parents to correct their children? After a more careful examination, it becomes clear that Jesus’ words cannot be a carte blanche command. So what does Jesus mean in this passage? How are Christians to think about judgment? In this episode of Real Christianity, pastor Dale Partridge confronts these questions with careful exposition.

Dale Partridge sits down each week to tackle the complex questions that often linger in the minds of believers, moving beyond simple platitudes to explore the substance of faith. In Real Christianity, these aren't abstract debates; they're grounded, practical discussions addressing the theological puzzles and real-life pastoral situations that people actually face. Every episode is a concise, focused conversation, typically wrapping up in ten to fifteen minutes, making it a thoughtful companion for a daily commute or a quiet moment of reflection. You'll hear Dale draw from scripture and lived experience to provide clarity on topics that can feel confusing or overwhelming, all with the aim of making faith feel more accessible and deeply rooted. This podcast cuts through the noise, offering a space where curiosity meets conviction, and where difficult questions are met with thoughtful, biblically-informed perspectives. It’s for anyone seeking a more authentic and understood spiritual life, one honest conversation at a time.
