Read it carefully. Actually He doesn’t say not to judge. We are to judge. But we are to do so righteously and judicially. If we don’t judge how can we discern evil? As one prominent religious leader said once on homosexuality “Who am I to judge?”. Thereby exposing his agenda, predispositions and sheeps clothing exterior.

Indeed. This tells us how we are to judge, mainly not being hypocrites and judging those who are committing the same sins that ensnare us. The Holy Ghost teels us what righteous judgement looks like:

1 Cor 5: 9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. 11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.

12 What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”

I agree. Thank you for bringing that up. I was in a bit of a rush and just assumed in the back of my mind that everyone here has a good, Biblical view of what Jesus meant, but I still should have been clear.
