Who Are You to Judge?

A few words of wisdom as you pass judgement on Tiger Woods:


John 8:7(Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000)

"...He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."



The Gospel according to Matthew, Chapter 7 (The Holy Bible: King James Version. 2000)

1. Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4. Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5. Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

6. Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

  1. you reap what you sow? marriage is a bonding of souls and when that bond is broken how will she ever forgive and forget? that is the million dollar question? i myself have no flipping idea why he would ever cheat on her, she is amazingly beautiful and has supported him throught is dad death and given him 2 beautiful children and has allways been there for him? i just think he got too full of himself and thought he could get away with it! assume we all know what that word really means? don't we???

  2. "i just think he got too full of himself and thought he could get away with it!" with all due respect, i think that's a stereotypical female response. "oh, there must be something wrong with him because there's clearly nothing wrong with her." how can you make that assumption without having personal knowledge of their marriage? maybe she's overbearing and controlling; maybe she's emotionally abusive; maybe she's not the person he married. there may be a whole host of reasons for his "transgressions" (whatever they may be) that don't include his ego.

  3. I don't think it's a matter of judging as much as it is a matter of opinion. You know that even in your close personal lives, you gossip and conjecture about your friends, neighbors, co-workers, etc. Just as it's "human nature" to have affairs, it's just as much "human nature" to relish in talking about them. I don't care that he cheated on her. But I do have an interest in why -- just because it's a good story.
