Matthew 7
1Judge not, that you be not judged.
2For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you again.
3And why behold you the speck that is in your brother's eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye?
4Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull the speck out of your eye; and, behold, a beam is in your own eye?
5You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then shall you see clearly to cast out the speck out of your brother's eye.
6Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and tear you.
Other words, After you have learned that you can't judge people into hell (your not God). That's what verses 1 & 2 mean.
And you learn to get yourself right with God (consider what is in your life, then remove it), by repenting and placing your trust in Him. Verses 3 thru5
You are to go out and spread the gospel, but be careful for those who won't accept it (the swine), because they will turn it around on you and try to trample it under their feet.
You also, have to remember to whom Christ was speaking to. He was speaking to the Sanheidren and the Pharisees of the synagogue's who were basically preaching what they wanted to preach and not God's word.
Being called a swine from a jew to a jew is as bad as making a muslim eat pork. it was considered a pretty deep insult back then.
Because Christ aslo called them hypocrites.
Perhaps you have not noticed, but this is not the forum for bible studies but a scientific discussion forum, so I fail to see what relevance your bible quoiting about how to feed dogs, and wash your eyes and other utter nonsense even remotely has to do with anything what I have said so far...
