I can only half-agree. We hear those words in the bible, but not the full context of what Jesus meant. Obviously we cannot judge the state of soul or final salvation, only God can. We cannot judge if there's mental illness, or something genetic - we understand that from the human Free Will perspective. BUT - why would Jesus say "be gentle as doves (that's easily understood) but wise / cunning as serpents"? That implies an ability to see other people's cunning and deceit - that is judgement. Or this "by their fruits you shall know them". Know what? Whether their fruits are good or bad - which means judgement of what is good vs bad. Or so many of St Paul's letters - those who will not go to heaven - fornicators, adulterers, drunkards, etc. The final judgement will be God's but St Paul tells us not to mix with these people lest they influence us. So that is also judgement - of who you want to be friends with and/or who is friends with your children. Right this minute, in my country, are news headlines of - I'm not joking - car jacking with machete, violent home invasion with hammers and crowbars, and a shooting in a nightclub. Now there's bad elements in every single race. But the above - blacks - "asylum seekers" that the left wing socialist govt let in, without checking their paperwork or background. And this same govt is going to issue more visas to "Palestinians". They don't ask why not a single Arab state in the Middle East is taking in these people? Because they come in and then instigate jihad. So, cannot judge? How many more terrorist acts need to happen?
@ you can’t be a serious Christian because criminals and sinners are the people Jesus came to save if are well you don’t need a doctor maybe you should look deeper into your soul and deal with your own shortcomings remember you can’t hide nothing from god he knows everything thing about you
Thank you Father🙏
