Ummm...Mark 7:1 doesn’t say that. Matthew 7:1 does and this person clearly has no understanding of its context.
Jesus was not saying not to judge sin...just that we must judge righteously and without hypocricy. Last I looked I hadn’t murdered anyone...I’m gonna go ahead and judge them.

During this same sermon, Jesus stated "Do not throw pearls before swine." How are we to know who/what is swine if we do not judge their actions and character.

When Jesus said, "Judge not, lest you be judged." he was speaking about judging the righteousness of someone to receive God's forgiveness. He was specifically speaking about going out and helping people find righteousness, but do not decide who IS or is NOT worthy of God's forgiveness.

This writer probably has never even read the Bible.
