Paul doesn't contradict. Jesus says to judge what is right. He was upset that people didn't judge in this manner! 57 “Yes, and why, even of yourselves, do you not judge what is right? And Jesus calls us to judge again! Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. John 7:24 And Paul tells us to judge righteously using God's law. And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? Romans 2:27 It's good Paul says what Jesus says! Sure, you can fudge Paul's sayings together with Jesus' sayings and make them work together. You could do that with any two historical people if you were so inclined. Name any notorious figure, and I bet you could quote a paragraph from him that agrees with the sentiments of Jesus. FWIW, the passage in Matthew (quoted by DKtrav88) is one of my favorites from the Gospels. I especially like how Jesus advises his followers to treat others' flaws like a splinter in the eye... rather than advising that one spout judgment upon others like some ranting jerk... If your little brother or little sister came to you with a splinter in their eye, would you rebuke them for being careless enough to have attained the splinter? Or would you calmly... carefully... and lovingly help them remove the splinter with as little anguish as possible? I see THIS message in the Sermon on the Mount. As well as a warning that those who are deeply flawed (let's say they spent a long period of their life persecuting Christians *wink*) ought to be very careful before dispensing judgment on others. 1 Corinthians 5:4 says: "So when you are assembled and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord." Handing people over to Satan? Is this the same guy who was redeemed for all his crimes and made an apostle? Paul admits to having done many heinous things... it sounds like he is ready to be judged for those things. As Matthew says: "The measure you mete out to others will be met out onto you." Big surprise, if Paul's soul encounters God and God says, "Hand this man over to Satan." I know there is more to what Paul says there, but there is an arrogance to Paul that I don't ever find in Jesus' words. Just sayin'... I regard Jesus and his teachings more highly than the things Paul wrote. That's why I'm puzzled that Christians would put the words of both on an equal level... since (ya know) you guys consider one of them to be God and the other just a man. I realize I'm sorta new, and I started by throwing a gauntlet down in the Bible quotes thread... so (just so you guys don't think I'm some kinda troll) I'll give you one I genuinely like: James 1:9 The brother in lowly circumstances should take pride in his high standing, and the high one in his lowliness... I really like the Books: James, Job, and Ecclesiastes. Also the Gospel of Matthew (especially chapters 5-7... and many of the parables that follow). Matthew is probably my favorite book... but only the parts that come directly out of Jesus' mouth. The rest of it, not so much. I think Paul is quite poetic and lucid at times, but he balances that out by being an ignorant, prejudiced, and maleducated ancient--- (I don't hold that against him, but still, I don't put everything he says on a pedestal either) ... so he's kind of a wash... Well, of course they work together because Paul simply repeats what Jesus said. Jesus after all did choose Paul as the chosen vessel to continue His preaching. But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: Acts 9:15 And as already mentioned judging righteously is the only way God wants you to judge as Jesus and Paul told us. Did you know Solomon only wished to be able to judge righteously and didn't want any riches and gold? By him choosing to judge righteously God was beyond pleased and blessed him for it. We should learn to always judge righteously to please God. 1 Kings 3:9-13 Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? And the speech pleased the LORD, that Solomon had asked this thing. And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honor: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days.

6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
In the days this is to be revealed by God and not his prophet. Men shall seek death on other men due to the vengeance they have been taught is just. But God will not be here to kill them like they have been taught by Devils. It is all we know because Devils ruled here in a time God gave them time to repent. Some men shall desire to die because of the things they shall learn about their actions. But they shall be forgiven and the death shall not find them. This is a beautiful passage.

Revelations 10 :9-10 9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as honey.
So John goes and lets the Angel of Prophecy know he is to take the book. The Angel says take it and eat it up (that means to read it and try and digest what it says.) Than he tells john that it shall be sour in his belly (meaning hard to digest what you read). But that the words on his tongue shall be sweet as honey. Meaning the deceit is said sweetly but is within the pages of those holy books. Confirming what I say about these holy Books. They are the mark of the beast taken in hand and read to memory making things that are evil and unjust seem holy to the masses. IT IS THE MARK OF THE BEAST! There is no question I am right i see it over and over. Jesus gave you a false law that will always end in false peace and death.
10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
This is John admitting he took the book and he ate it up. It was sweet on his tongue but was bitter in his belly right after he had. That is because he had fallen to the mark of the beast and knew not that he had. Despite all he heard the seven Angels utter about the deceit. Just as Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit as holy and Good food So did John right here!

Jeremiah 23:21-22 KJV [21] I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. [22] But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings.

Sucks to be her. Shrug She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God. Zephaniah 3:2

Now we know that God heareth not sinners: but if any man be a worshipper of God, and doeth his will, him he heareth. John 9:31

1 Corinthians 1:18-24 18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. 20 Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? 21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 22 For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 23 But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; 24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.

Colossians 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

1 Corinthians 3:18-23 18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. 19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. 20 And again, The Lord knoweth the thoughts of the wise, that they are vain. 21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours; 22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; 23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

God created everything as male and females to reproduce to keep the world alive not homosexuality. Of fowls after their kind, and of cattle after their kind, of every creeping thing of the earth after his kind, two of every sort shall come unto thee, to keep them alive.Genesis 6:20 And the female must take her husband's name because are made as one. Not two homos becoming one. Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. Genesis 5:2

There are many verses, but I think my favorite book is Wisdom of Solomon. For example, from chapter seven:
21 Such things as are hidden I learned and such as are plain;
22 for Wisdom, the artificer of all, taught me. For in her is a spirit intelligent, holy, unique, manifold, subtle, agile, clear, unstained, certain, not baneful, loving the good, keen, unhampered, beneficent,
23 kindly, firm, secure, tranquil, all powerful, all-seeing, and pervading all spirits, though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle.
24 For Wisdom is mobile beyond all motion, and she penetrates and pervades all things by reason of her purity.
25 For she is an aura of the might of God and a pure effusion of the glory of the Almighty; therefore nought that is sullied enters into her.
26 For she is the refulgence of eternal light, the spotless mirror of the power of God, the image of his goodness.
