N> Many people today would say that his parents had no right to imply that he w
N> doing wrong.  They may even quote Jesus' words: "Judge not, that you be not
N> judged" (Matt. 7:1).

Look at that verse in the context of the entire Christian Bible -- it should ne
translated as "condemn not, lest you be condemned." (as Paul CLEARLY says
Christians are to judge each other so as to keep each other on the strait &
narrow!)

Of course, Jesus' example was filled with condemnations AND judgement!
(yes, he had 1 or 2 incidents that he showed non-judgement, but overall he gave
a lot more judgement than he overlooked!)
