“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.
Whatever. I’ll go with what the Church says it means rather than to soothe my itching ears.
Of course I’m a sinner. Where the hell did I “condemn” others? 😂
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.
Again, where did I condemn anyone? I said this lefty doesn’t understand Christ You really have a context to comprehension problem.
