When people who don’t like, read, or conform to the Bible tell you what Jesus was like:

"Go and sin no more." He wasn't confirming her in her vice when he got the mob off her; he saved her so she would amend her ways. What about the whip He braided Himself in order to drive the money changers from the temple? The tables he flipped? The Pharisees He continually admonished? ___
"You serpents, generation of vipers, how will you flee from the judgment of hell?" [Matthew 23:33] ___
___But I say to you, that whosoever is angry with his brother, shall be in danger of the judgment. And whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council. And whosoever shall say, Thou Fool, shall be in danger of hell fire." [Matthew 5:22]
_____Woe to you scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites; because you go round about the sea and the land to make one proselyte; and when he is made, you make him the child of hell twofold more than yourselves." [Matthew 23:15]
____And if thy eye scandalize thee, pluck it out. It is better for thee with one eye to enter into the kingdom of God, than having two eyes to be cast into the hell of fire:" [Mark 9:46]
____Enter ye in at the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way that leadeth to destruction, and many there are who go in thereat." [Matthew 7:13]
____"He said therefore to the multitudes that went forth to be baptized by him: Ye offspring of vipers, who hath shewed you to flee from the wrath to come?" [Luke 3:7]
____And when the Son of man shall come in his majesty, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit upon the seat of his majesty. [32] And all nations shall be gathered together before him, and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats: [33] And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on his left. [34] Then shall the king say to them that shall be on his right hand: Come, ye blessed of my Father, possess you the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world... [41] Then he shall say to them also that shall be on his left hand: Depart from me, you cursed, into everlasting fire which was prepared for the devil and his angels. [Matthew 25]
_____And Scripture continues on: "Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers, [30] Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, [31]foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy. [32] Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them." -Romans 1
"1 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye."
You and I are instructed to not judge. That's not the same as saying no one will be judged.
We are instructed not to judge someone's "heart" or their motives but we are certainly instructed to judge their actions and hold them accountable for them. Only God can judge their heart.
☝️This!
“DO NOT JUDGE, etc...” means “Don’t be a hypocrite”. This is the most twisted and taken out of context verse in the whole bible.
We aren’t permitted to judge another’s soul, that belong to God. But of course we’re to judge another’s actions, admonish one another in charitable, fraternal correction; even our court systems are based on judgment of another’s actions: ___ Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly, in all wisdom: teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God. [Colossians 3:16]
Literally no one thinks like that.
You are allowed to judge others but you must first remove the beam from your own eye. And then you must be fair, kind and correcting with your judgement. Many of the verses were spoken to the Scribes and Pharisees, who were indulging in their authority and placing undo burdens on the people.
It's only "twisted" to you because you can't seem to understand it.
No we shouldn't judge the disposition of someone's soul.
However some confuse calling someone from sin with judgement.
St. James says that correcting a sinner has many spiritual benefits, not only for the sinner, but also for us:
James 5:20: let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
And whether we want to admit it or not, we are indeed our brother's keeper:
EZEKIEL 3
[18] If, when I say to the wicked, Thou shalt surely die: thou declare it not to him, nor speak to him, that he may be converted from his wicked way, and live: the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but I will require his blood at thy hand.
[19] But if thou give warning to the wicked, and he be not converted from his wickedness, and from his evil way: he indeed shall die in his iniquity, but thou hast delivered thy soul.
[20] Moreover if the just man shall turn away from his justice, and shall commit iniquity: I will lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die, because thou hast not given him warning: he shall die in his sin, and his justices which he hath done, shall not be remembered: but I will require his blood at thy hand.
But if you on your part warn the wicked man to turn from his [evil] way and he does not turn from his [evil] way, he will die in his sin; but you have saved your life. EZ. 33:9
Not to oppose error is to approve it; and not to defend truth is to suppress it; and indeed to neglect to confound evil men, when we can do it, is no less a sin than to encourage them.
Whatever. I’ll go with what the Church says it means rather than to soothe my itching ears.
John 7:24
Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”
And that's exactly what these psuedo-Christians who come to these posts to down vote and criticize others who don't hold their same beliefs have done.
It’s interesting to look at the comments here and reflect on the original quote, “Jesus never called out sinners.” Does the author means “sinners” as in “everybody on the planet except Jesus” or the gospel use where “sinners and tax collectors” (not the Pharisees/scribes Mark 2:16) are with him?
It’s interesting to me that there’s all this arguing in these comments because I don’t know how people read that word in the tweet.
