It’s nice to know you’re evaluating all your fellow Christians. Matthew 7:3

So you are suggesting that an individual apply no elements of discernment when meeting another person who is being met for the first time? Care to elaborate on how that works? And how is what you are suggesting square with numerous other Bible verses that implore Christians to be discerning in how they approach everything including the people they meet every day? May I kindly suggest that you scroll down a few verses in Matthew 7 to verse 15. ‘Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.’ Or Hebrews 5:13-14 ‘For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil'. What I was suggesting was simply applying discernment in the way that scripture has suggested to us that it be carried out.'
