It means what it says. Do not judge those who sin because you too are a sinner.

It also means that we as Christians are to discern what is right and wrong and what is good and what is evil based on the fact we are Christians, which means Christlike. We are never to compromise or endorse evil which is what unbelievers want us to do.

After the fruit from the tree of knowledge of good and evil was taken by man, an existence involving spiritual separation from God surely followed.

It remains today, except for those who accept faith in Christ, who are then given a regenerated human spirit by God Himself.

Our souls are still scarred by confusing discernment of good and evil for righteousness and judgment. The later two form God’s Holiness, while the others are consequent to legitimate authority.

The bible commands us to judge others. We are to tell people when they sin. If they refuse to listen then tell them with some of our brothers in Christ with us. If they refuse to listen then tell the CHURCH. By the way, the church is the Catholic Church.

Some would claim to even quote the scripture is judging. Say like Christ saying ‘Remember Lot’s wife. Or even to quote Christ that the law is still in effect. I think the word ‘judge’ means what ever any one individual decides they want it to mean.
