People love taking and twisting Scripture out of context. Usually whatever they are taking out of context is whatever they do or don’t want to happen to them, or to permit or not permit them to do something.

In this case people who don’t want any criticism for what they are doing in their lives say this.

They forget that the verses’ contexts are not that you can never judge something or anyone, but that you do not judge them any different than you would judge yourself - ie not to judge hypocritically, but rather, to judge righteously.

If we could never judge, we could never tell someone they wronged us, they could never apologize, nobody would ever learn correct behavior versus incorrect behavior. Nobody would ever have a chance to grow morally and spiritually as a Christian.

It’s an utter ridiculous statement to make. It gets tiring hearing it thrown about again and again.
