Matthew 7:1-5
1Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5Thou 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.
Galatians 6:1
"Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted."
There's a difference in correcting someone with a gentle heart and hypocritically attacking them. Contrary to popular belief the bible doesn't condemn judging others. In fact we are called to judge. Righteous judgement is different than unrighteous judgment.
You should be really careful about taking verses out of context and/or interpreting them to fit your own preconceived narrative. That is exactly what MSM does. Did you see the video at the impeachment where they would take excerpts from Trump’s speech?
I'm not taking it out of context. I have studied and preached the word in many different settings. Recovery ministry and my own - Sacred Road ministries (we minister to local Native American tribes). I understand correct exposition. I appreciate your advice though because many people need to hear that. Study of the bible should be with reverence. Paul tells us that we are to study in order that we might be reckoned as those who have God’s approval to handle and communicate His revelation.
What we need is less superficial Christians and more true believers with love and zeal to step up and walk the walk.
We need solidarity in Christ. We need strong fellowship.

You seem like a very caring person and that’s wonderful but who you are (or who I am) has no bearing on the intent or context of scripture.
