I think people misunderstand judgement in Biblical terms. We can look at a persons fruits and determine if we think they have sinned. What we should not do is say how God will judge them. We have no idea who God will love and forgive. Many Biblical figures sinned, but they were forgiven those sins.
The judge not lest ye be judged means don’t assume you know what only God knows.

The judge not lest ye be judged, when taken in full context, means don’t be a hypocrite. God spells out what he means in the Bible.

If one is committing sexual sin, they probably shouldn’t judge others for the same. If one is embezzeling money, they probably shouldn’t make judgements on people stealing from Walmart. In other words, ..........

And we do have an idea who God loves. God loves everyone of us. The ones that will be forgiven are those that accept the gift of salvation offered by our Lord.

Liberals like to say, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged.” — In other words, all is acceptable. There should be no further discussion on values. If we don’t agree, we’re making a judgement. They might should consider that there is a lot more in the Bible than that one verse they so often use out of context. There are a lot of judgments throughout the Bible.
