We must judge people. How else can we determine who is evil and who is our brother? Imagine judging people according to the Bible instead of following the plan to divide us.
“Judging others” is an issue that has confused many people. Unfortunately, when you hear “Don’t judge me” or “The Bible says” it’s usually flowing from the mouth of someone who couldn’t even tell you what Testament the book of Job is in; or the believer that paraphrases certain biblical verses without reflecting on others.
First and foremost, I don’t care who you are, we ALL judge. Let me prove my point. When you see a guy sitting at a corner with a cardboard sign, most people think “Homeless.” ~ Judgment.
Here’s one for ya. The elderly lady who smiles at you in the grocery story, you think “What a sweet lady.” ~ Judgment.
Bible says to test all teachings. We cannot follow anyone blindly. This one verse “Thou shall not judge” has abused so much, there is no truth out there. I hope you are all Seventh Day Adventists.
We should never ever looked down upon others. We don’t want others to see us that way. God looks at our hearts and decide whether we are worthy to enter heaven not because of our righteousness, but because of His righteousness. Jesus our Lord told Mary Magdalene, neither do I condemn thee. Jesus says to all sinners, who come to Him in repentance. The Savior looks at them with pity and compassion and we do the same. Lord help us all to be like you and not make us sit on the judgement seat of heaven.

Indeed. Judgement in order to avoid adversity and evil. Whether it be from another, or inflicted on or by ourselves. Discernment is required, and always first judge yourself, before judging another, to remove the mote from thine eyes. Hypocrisy is the offensive result.
