No? Then judge not.

Finish the phrase,

Matthew 7:1-2 "Stop judging, that you may not be judged. 2 For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.

It is not telling you not to judge, it is saying to make judgement, but be willing to have the same judgement and measure against you.

Personally, I got no problem being judged by the exact same measure

[MrB]

Leftists don’t even know the rest of the verse.

And only those that seek to be completely free of judgement for their decisions quote the incomplete verse.

Finally, somebody that has read their Bible! Thank you for taking the time to teach instead of letting the ignorance pass on. I have every right to judge, I just better not have a log in my own eye. In fact, we are commanded to judge sin. How many times have I been told not to judge homosexuality, fornication, thievery, etc. Of course I can tell someone it's wrong to murder! I am not the judge of their soul however, because they may repent and be saved without my knowledge, just as the thief on the cross believed in his last moments and was saved. Had I just looked at the fact that he was a thief, how was I to know his fate?

Now if someone can just point me to the verse explaining that God helps those who help themselves. I always thought He helped the helpless.
