Elaborate...

 I thought that said it all, what is it you do not understand?

It's almost like you're responding to a different conversation. I understand the bible is open to interpretation, but what about those verses doesn't scream "be quiet" or "keep that shit to yourself."?

 You must have some kind of imagination. Let's take the first three sets you posted they either were not to be judgmental of others until you first take a look at yourself and the other says nothing about speaking to people.

So, you're saying that so long as you have your shit together...go ahead and be judgmental?

Wyrd, you should put a picture up on your avatar. Preferably a picture of you. 

Have you ever seen a picture of Gawd?

No, I'm saying when we are right in God's eye we are better able to see problems others suffer from and can help them. Of coarse it goes deeper than this, but it's a Christian thing you would reject.

Have you ever known anyone who read and lived by the whole bible?

No, they pick and choose the sections that suit them.

Look at Joyce Meyer and her followers. If they truly followed their little book she wouldn't be allowed to preach to them...

I'd say it's actually impossible to live by the whole bible, because it is contradictory. So some arbitrary choices have to be made even by those who are trying very hard to follow it to the letter.

Which is no one, so this isn't such a problem.
