I think there's a bit of confusion about the verse you're referencing: "Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you" Matthew 7:1-2. We are supposed to see sin for what it is. Sin is evil. I agree with you that we aren't supposed to hate on people. But we are supposed to hate sin. The verse speaks of judging sin; of seeing sin as sin, in ourselves and in others. It does not say "do not judge"; it's simply a warning saying, "if you are going to judge that as sin, if it's in your life, you'll have to judge it the same way". It's a warning against hypocrisy.
I admit to liking some of Eminem's songs. Especially those that could be "considered Christian". But the Bible makes very clear that if we are in Christ, our actions will reflect God's character. The Bible also says: "Even a child makes himself known by his acts, by whether his conduct is pure and upright" Proverbs 20:11. And: "Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you , as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desire" Galatians 5:16-24. "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast" Ephesians 2:8-9. |
