Matthew 7
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.
We have to be very careful , when it comes to judging others. Because in the end it comes to God doing the judging, and it may be found that our judging maybe actually against God.

Yup, lots of folks cherry-pick those verses, and totally neglect some like this:
(
Leviticus 19:15) "Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honour the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour."
and
(John 7:24) "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
Etc. etc.
Friend, you appear to have a passing familiarity with the Bible, or at least some reasonably decent internets skills, but in order to gain entrance to Heaven you must accept the
WHOLE Bible.
(
Deuteronomy 4:2) "Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you."
Yours in Christ,
