"When we judge others, we are effectively saying that we don't trust God to see it and resolve it the way we think it should be done."

So open adultery, lying, fornication, sexual immorality, apostasy, etc. should run rampant in the Church?

How about leaders ordering you to defy God's commands?

Also, does God wants us to be Spiritually gutless assuming He will take care of converting "free willers" in the Church?

And finally, does God want us to worship under false teachers?

“If your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault, between you and him alone (Judging others, hmmm). If he listens to you, you have gained your brother. But if he does not listen, take one or two others along with you, that every charge may be established by the evidence of two or three witnesses. If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church. And if he refuses to listen even to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax collector.

Contradicts your quote in bold at the top, hmmm... What exactly does "judge" mean in the different CONTEXT throughout the Word? We are to be wise while building strong foundations, not fools and excusing behaviors based on Spiritual impotence.

The statement I made above has absolutely no connection whatsoever to the question you posed. I am truly at a loss as to how easily you confused 'judgment' with 'sin'. But to answer your question, it already does.

Making another person aware of their sin is not the same as judging them. Not even close.

When you pass judgment on another, you are effectively passing a sentence upon that person. Pointing out the sin of another out of love in order that they may turn away from that sin is not what judgment is.

I don`t think it contradicts, in one case Jesus was talking to the multitude, in the other he was addressing the church.
