>>Can it be more clear than DO NOT ? How more clear does the Lord have to make it? Do not judge, do not force your "truth" "your doctrine"<<

1 Corinthians 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.

Please tell me how you would know which to "put away from among yourselves" if you didn't judge whether what they were doing or believing was according to scripture?

1 Corinthians 2:15 But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

1 Corinthians 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

We are told to judge. If you didn't judge you wouldn't know which "religion" you associate with. How do you know that a religion other than the one you believe is wrong without judging?

Romans 12:9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.

Please tell me how you know what is evil without some sort of judgment.

1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Please tell me how you "try the spirits" without correct understanding of what scripture says and make some sort of judgment.

James 5:19 My brothers and sisters, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring that person back, 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of their way will save them from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

By your logic would you just allow that person to remain in error contrary to what scripture says to do?

You can discern many things that is not judging someone.

Again the Lord is not double minded, he would not instruct us not to judge and then instruct us to judge. Discern the difference or miss what he instructs.

Mercy has triumphed over judgement. James 2 Why? The blood of Christ shed on the cross. We are not instructed to judge others, we are in fact instructed not to judge others. You are free to believe as you want.

I will let the Lord judge and not confuse discerning evil with judging others/our brethren. I would rather do things the Lords way, it is easy to judge and accuse, but it is of the devil not God.
