So true - a specific Hollywood actor comes to mind - champion of the poor - patron of the wealthy democrat party - “Do as I say, not as I do.” The need to feed the ego, I am better, I know better, I don’t judge, but you are bad, blah blah blah blah.
Personally I judge all the time, judgement is fundamental, it is part of ones character, it is part of life. Judge well, good judgement keeps us alive and out of the way of those who would harm us.
God counsels us to judge with charity — do not join in somebody’s folly, but provide what good you can to him in a clear conscience just the same, in the hope of being a picture of God. Generally we cannot discern what dwells below the surface of a particular person without long acquaintance. Lumping a whole group into a homogeneous class called “liberals” militates against such discernment.
Not just judgment, but the KIND of judgment, is fundamental to life. And if it does not mirror God, we have gone astray.
