You are not a judge - there is only 1 Judge and He's the only one we have to answer to.

Please don't. Whatever point you may be trying to make, however valid - please don't misuse this passage. It is done far too often. If you want to make a point about how people should treat sinners compassionately - fine. But don't, for ONE MOMENT, attempt to use this passage to assert that we aren't to try make any determination about what is "sinful".

I had this long reply typed out to respond to you and all I really have to say is:

I wasn't using a specific verse. When I use a verse, I reference it. But the bottom line is, I won't have to answer to you, I won't have to answer to the other poster that I was responding to, I only have to answer to God in the end. I don't see what's wrong with stating that. I just think that some people become so self-righteous sometimes that they lose sight that they actually are sinners and still need forgiveness no matter how 'clean' they think they are.
