"7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.”"

In other words, Jesus was not telling us to avoid judging, but HOW TO judge. If you're engaged in the same sin you're thinking of judging, don't do it.

You would do well to read some of the Scriptures which instruct us TO judge, and how to do so. Why on earth would a Christian think we're supposed to go around without differentiating between right and wrong?

Bottom line, any religion which believes that God used to be human, and that He had sex with Mary to produce Jesus is not Christian.

“Why on earth would a Christian think we’re supposed to go around without differentiating between right and wrong?”

of course one should use the Holy Scriptures as a basis of determining right from wrong, but i don’t want to face my maker, and have The Good Lord ask me why i was so quick to judge and find fault in the heart and mind of another fellow being, claiming that i have that same power of omniscience as God. i may interpret the scriptures one way and pray that my interpretation is correct, and act accordingly, but i will not stand in judgment of another. i may assume he is wrong, but will not condemn him for it, unless it leads to harm of another.

Amen! Thanks for stating it so well!
