I also read, "Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come" (Mat 24:42). I understand that to mean, "You're not going to know until I come for you." Other people throughout history have read the same words of Jesus and have come up with different interpretations of what He intended.

It is especially pertinent to the Body of Christ where ‘Judge not” is often used by the naive when one is critical of a movement. This last month I have been doing some research on three heretics in particular. Creflo Dollar, Joel Osteen and Joyce Meyer. All three false teachers are quite popular in South Africa and yet many testify to having been helped in some way by them. So when raises issues of orthodoxy concerning their doctrine, one is called judgemental or divisive. Jacob in this teaching looks biblically at the things Christians are ‘called’ to judge. For those interested this transcript is also available on CD. JUDGE NOT DO NOT SPEAK AGAINST ONE ANOTHER, brethren. He who speaks against a brother, or judges his brother, speaks against the law, and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law, but a judge of it (James 4:11). Do not speak against one another. Do not speak against your brethren. Do not judge your brother. Is that what it says Look at verse 4 of the same chapter. You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility to-ward God Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God (James 4:4). You adulteresses! Do not judge your brother! From the pen of the same apostle, in the distance of a few paragraphs, in almost the same breath that he is saying "do not judge," James calls worldly churches "adulteresses." SPIRITUAL ADULTERY James is probably the oldest book of the New Testament. We know from its Hebraic background, from the way it draws on synagogue leadership structure and the Scriptures, that it was obviously written to Jewish Christians. James is using the Hebrew concept of whoredom or harlotry. Whenever Israel went into idolatry, God calls it "adultery." Idolatry equals spiritual adultery.
