Think about the wording of this question before you answer it. So Hitler is bad and Mother Teresa is good. according to whom? Oh and America is the greatest nation on earth. Once again according to whom. Isn't that our judgment? But I thought judging was wrong?

No you shouldn't judge. But you can have an opinion. I think that's a fine line though and probably riding the fence just a tad.

We make judgements everyday like when to cross the street and what to wear as well as actual character judgements like who is our friend and who is potentially harmful towards us. You made a judgement to ask a question and a judgement on what words to use.
I feel that perhaps the biblical translation of judgement is a little vague. It would be better said that conceptualizing which is a form of judgement is what is really harmful. Conceptualizing is when we give forms identities, for example: all red cars are stupid, black people are athletic, Chinese people know kung fu, mandarin sounds like this, "ching chong ching chong ching." Now I also have to say that this form of judgement is neccesary and in fact beneficial the real human error lies in holding these concepts above what we observe in our day to day reality. An example of this would be if we were to learn mandarin and our notion of "ching chong ching" kept coming up it would be harder to hear the sounds that are actually there because we are blocked off from it because of our preconceived notions about mandarin.
So, is judging wrong? No, it's a neccesary trait that we must use to discern good from evil, right from wrong and what you want from what you don't want. The key is that you simply do not want to be mired in your judgements.

no matter if that's faulty to judge some thing, that we'd do not have any judges, no legal experts, no reformatory- justice does elect to be served. people use "do no longer choose" in a fashion that keeps them from having to be held in charge for sin, or wrongdoing. when we are saying, that "homicide is faulty", of "stealing is faulty" we are speaking the actuality- yet even as the fellow we tell it too is in charge of doing what we are saying is faulty- then they way that we are judging. we would want to be careful though that when we are saying that what someone is doing is faulty that we are no longer in charge of a similar aspect. we would want to be open sufficient and humble sufficient to comprehend that we can do issues that are incorrect besides. Jesus informed the female stuck in adultery- "the position are your accusers" notwithstanding He also stated "bypass and sin no better". So if someone receives convicted or against the law, and we did not choose then he would not be held in charge- there's a distinction between judging the sin and hating the fellow doing to the sin.

are you talking about judgment or opinion?
Obviously truth is subjective, not that it really matters anyway.
Humans will always judge each other according to their own standards. Many people do not have open minds, so what can you do?

It's not wrong to judge. I do it all the time. You just have to be very clear about what you accept and what you don't else you become a hypocrite - And that is unacceptable.
By the way, where in the Law does it say that it's inappropriate to Judge? It's not. You're referring to religion, in which case I refuse to argue since we do not share a common belief system.

If you believe it's wrong to judge, then by answering the question you would be going against your own "judgement". It's a catch 22.
I believe it is ok to judge as long as it's based on facts. Don't judge a book by it's cover!

Judgements are opinions based on values. Be it right or wrong I think it's human nature to have opinions.
