When you tell someone ‘do not judge,’ you are being hypocritical.
First, you have to judge that they are being judgmental.
Second, you have to judge that what they are doing is wrong.
Thus, you have violated your own standard for not judging others.
Instead, understand the entire Bible’s teaching on judging so you can do as Jesus instructed.
“Do not judge according to appearances, but make a righteous judgment.
