Please remember, Jesus stated several times that He did not come here to judge, but to save. He was teaching us how to remove the obstacles to Love in their souls.

Actually, please remember, He did not come here to judge as in meaning coming in judgment, as messianic expectations supposed He would, but Jesus several times manifest that He did come here to judge, (such as "woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in." (Matthew 23:13) And to reprove, including (as appropriate for you), "Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God." (Matthew 22:29)

And to warn:
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Matthew 24:24) . He was teaching us how to remove the obstacles to Love in their souls.

And love "Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth." (1 Corinthians 13:6)
