Who am I to Judge?
He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.
- Jesus of Nazareth (John 8:7)
Who am I to judge.
- Pope Francis
This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.
- Jesus of Nazareth (John 15:12)
Jesus often asks His followers to follow His commandments -
especially loving one another,
but NEVER does Jesus ask his followers to punish other people for anything.
The ONLY mention of punishment in the four Gospels is in Matthew 25:46.
Consider reading Matthew 25:31-46 today.
