Some people say all judgment is wrong by singling out the verse Judge not, that ye be not judged (Matthew 7:1). It is true that there are certain forms of judgment that we are not meant to make. The above verse is referring to one of these forms. However, there are instances where the Bible says that we need to judge. We need to read other verses and not only the one above. Correction is not judgment, as the Bible says that we should correct, rebuke and be bold to those who are sinning. It is to be done in an act of caring for them in the hope that they will believe. That way we could contribute to the saving of a soul. If we dont, we could be responsible for suppressing the truth which could mean eternal death instead of eternal life for that person. James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins. Correcting sin, or categorizing sin, is not judgement. Simply put, cause and effect. If I correct your flawed interpretation of biblical scripture, it is a correction... Not judgement. If I correct you, there is no punishment. If you have been judged, there is punishment. I am not God, therefore I cannot pass judgement. However, we are told to correct our brethren, be bold, and rebuke sin. I truly wish Christians would STUDY AND DISSECT the Word of God, before interpreting to the masses. -Thanks Ryan Smith. Very well said.
