'Do not judge'

I've learnt this the hard way and it's basically because you don't know what environment that person was brought up in. You don't know the treatment that person by the people around them, the lost opportunities the abuse, the pain. If you weren't brought up in your happy middle class life but instead in a troubled home, it could be you turning to violence to stealing. God alone knows the whole situation of every person and therefore he alone can judge.

Everyone is capable of every sin. the bible says: there is no good in man. People say: I'm not capable of murder or adultery. That's what really bad people do. Except lots of 'good' people have found themselves saying that after doing those very same things. The fact of the matter is that each and everyone of us is capable of doing every sin if put in the wrong situations, with the wrong people, being subjected to injustice and pain. the fact that you are moral is not necessarily credit to you and God knows that. It could be that you were brought up in a moral home, brought up according to some kind of religion which instilled moral behaviour into you. Had you been brought up in a troubled home where you weren't taught right from wrong, and were not loved, would you be the same person? Let's not judge.
