If we judge, we are to do so righteously and not with animosity and bitterness. Mark Twain said “I never met a man I didn’t like” which meant he gave everyone a chance to prove themselves. It is too easy to classify someone by their dress, ethnicity, physicality and/or economic status.
“John 7:24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”
Right. But the problem here is with the word “judge”—it actually has a couple of meanings, one being to correctly see, and the other meaning to hate what you see.
I notice on this thread and others that the two meanings often become conflated or confused.
