What did Jesus mean when He said, "Judge not lest you be judged"? And "He who speaks evil of a brother and judges his brother, speaks evil of the law and judges the law"? Once you can wrap your head around this passage, you will be able to avoid both legalism and antinomianism, and to defend both law and liberty. We ought never to allow our own consciences to be bound by any law other than God's laws. The moment we succumb to the touch not, taste not, handle not laws and traditions of men, we have supplanted the one Lawgiver with another, and we have judged God's law.
