One of my favorite verses

 

Matthew 7:6(NKJV)

“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces.

 

How do we decide who the dogs and the swine are?  Jesus is obviously talking about people.  He is instructing us to make a judgement.  Just 5 verses previous He told us not to judge.  So what gives? 

 

In the case of the dogs and swine, Jesus tells us how to make that judgement.  We are to observe the fruit that these people produce.  If they produce "bad fruit" then they are dog or swine.  Make sense?
