James 4:11-12
11 Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?

This is where the idol begins to cause conflict in our lives. The idol will start to cause us to judge one another. That sounds strange but if you think about it you know its true. The things we dislike the most in others is what we dislike in ourselves. Have you ever noticed this inside of yourself? Why do you think that we would judge others based on our own sins and idols?
