I wouldn't do that sin! - How could they have???

Many people make judgments against those in the bible because they do not understand how "those people" could have done "that sin" yet many people do the very same sin- and worse!  People are often blinded to their own sins and yet judge others that commit the same sin.  This is hypocritical judgment that Messiah Yeshua spoke against in Matthew 7

Matthew 7
1  Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2  For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.
3  And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4  Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5  Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
6  Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

To many, the first sin when Eve ate the forbidden fruit (likely a pomegranate) and Adam also ate it seems like a sin that nobody else would commit yet many of the same people commit the very same sin.  There seemed nothing remarkable about the fruit except that it appeared good to eat.  Eve believed the lie by satan that it would make her like God so she ate it and gave it to her husband who also ate it.  Yahweh has told us to not eat pork or shellfish yet most "christians" make excuses to eat it and rationalize away Yahweh's instructions to NOT eat it even though He is quite clear it is an ABOMINATION to Him to do so.

Leviticus 11:7  And the swine, because he parteth the hoof, and is cloven-footed, but cheweth not the cud, he is unclean unto you.

Isaiah 65
1  I gave access to them that asked not for Me, I was at hand to them that sought Me not; I said: 'Behold Me, behold Me', unto a nation that was not called by My name.
2  I have spread out My hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
3  A people that provoke Me to My face continually, that sacrifice in gardens, and burn incense upon bricks;
4  That sit among the graves, and lodge in the vaults; that eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5  That say: 'Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou'; these are a smoke in My nose, a fire that burneth all the day.

Many people do not understand how Abraham and Sarah did not wait and trust Yahweh to give them a son and took it into their own hands and had Abraham sleep with the servant Hagar resulting in Ishmael.  Yet the very same people who do not understand how Abraham and Sarah could "do such a thing" are promoting a presidential candidate who does not follow Yahweh and teaching that "you have to hold your nose and vote for the lessor evil" instead of PRAYING and asking Yahweh to put a president in place that would do His will and to have mercy on us.  They believe they are "helping God along" by voting for the "lessor evil".  How do they KNOW Trump would be less evil than Hillary?  Trump has made some very disconcerting remarks that should have raised a red flag.    What if Yahweh's plan was to have Hillary in office and give her a Damascus road experience?  What if Trump will bring severe judgment on the United States?  I do not vote because I choose to not vote for a "lessor evil".  I do not support Hillary with the hope she may change (likely she won't) and I will not support Trump because he looks too much like hitler's rise to power when hitler promised to "make Germany great again".  I choose to let Yahweh put His person in power and I pray for whoever that may be.  I also pray for Yahweh's mercy on us.  It is my belief, this is what Yahweh would have us do - TRUST HIM and let Him move others to put into power His choice.  (Read about Abraham, Sarah, Hagar, Ishmael in Genesis 16 - 17)

Many FALSELY claim that Lot was compromising because he lived in sodom.  I have heard so many popular "teachers" twist the bible and make lot seem like a compromising backslider (one popular "pastor" actually calls Lot that) Yet how many of those that judge Lot for living in sodom live in San Francisco, Seattle (that has a sodomite mayor), Orlando, Tel Aviv, or any other high sodomite populations?  Are the people that live in those cities all backsliders and compromisers because that is where they live?  Or are they vexed and upset with it like Righteous Lot?

2 Peter 2
1  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2  And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
3  And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
4  For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5  And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
6  And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;
7  And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:
8  (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)
9  The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

I often hear of those who do not understand how Ancient Israel complained about the manna Yahweh provided for them for the forty years they wandered in the wilderness.  I have heard so many "pastors" ridicule them over this.  My question is how many people could go just one week eating the same thing without wishing they had something else to eat?  I know I find it hard eating the leftovers for two nights.  It was great the first night although by the third night, I'm glad to be finishing it up and making something new to eat the next night.  Try eating the same thing for a week and you can empathize a little with Ancient Israel.  It is one thing to wish you had something different and being grateful and another thing to gripe and complain and wish you were back in the slavery Yahweh had just rescued you from!

Do not judge those you read about in the bible without having experienced what they had gone through because you just may find out you are judging them hypocritically.  It really upsets me when "pastors" who should know better malign those in the bible and do not empathize with what those people had gone through.  Abraham was given the promise of a son but not Sarah - they likely assumed Sarah was not included in the promise and did what was common in that day - the slave was a surrogate for the wife.  If Sarah had thought that she was part of the promise, they may have possibly done things different.  Anyone who lives in a city that is not obeying Yahweh can be accused of compromising and backsliding according to some "pastors" even though the bible is clear Lot was righteous and was vexed on a daily basis with his city.
