has gloss | eng: The discourse on judgmentalism was a portion of the Sermon on the Mount given by Jesus, according to the Gospel of Matthew. It directly followed the discourse on ostentation. The discourse is fairly brief, and begins by condemning those who would judge others, arguing that they too would be judged. Specifically, the Greek term usually translated as judge also refers to condemnation, and hence the text states that those who condemn others would be condemned. The sermon on the plain also makes a similar argument, and many scholars feel that it derives from the Q document. A few commentators, like R. T. France, claim that when Matthew describes God carrying out an action the narrative shifts to the passive voice, and that Matthews use of the passive voice implies that God is the judge and condemner. On the other hand, most commentators suggest, like Fowler, that it refers to people being judged by each other, though a few individuals have suggested that it is merely warning about excessive self-criticism, turning the usual interpretation on its head - from dont judge to don't judge yourself. |
