In Romans 4 we are admonished to not to judge our brothers and sisters. 1 Corinthians 4 says to judge nothing until He returns. 1 Corinthians 5 says to not judge outsiders, as thats left to God. But allows judgement of those in your spiritual community, though, and allows you to expel evil from your congregation. Against that, James 4 says to not speak against or judge brothers and sisters.
Jesus in both Luke 6 and Matthew 1 says, to paraphrase, that judgement and condemnation are not to be done as you will be subject to the same form(s) of judgement and condemnation. Note that He doesn't say what you will be judged for, but how.
These are why I restrict judgement on people who are not committing worldy crimes. I cannot judge another's soul per His teachings, but I can judge their earthly acts as He expressly made the earth our dominion, and reiterated it with the denarius.
On the larger theological background He has known we have and will sin. He has always provided ways out of it - starting with purification and sacrifices and ending with Jesus converting us each to a temple for His Spirit -- but He directly tells us that vengeance and non-wordly judgement are His and He has never directed us to take His power of spiritual judgement from Him.
