If there is one thing I know about christians.... it is that they believe what they believe because they want an easy answer.... They want to be able to live however they want, without having to think about it too much.... and have everything conveniently justified and pre-prepared for their convenience.
I know for a fact how difficult it is NOT to judge people, sometimes harshly.... Its innately programmed into us. That would be why most people, even among those who follow the bible.... will tend only to stick with the easy stuff and will completely overlook the difficult bits like that...
.... And its a righteous shame.... because the difficult bits are what Jesus was really trying to get across...
I mean... he was a bit of an idealistic old fool..... but his heart was in the right place, so to speak. He saw problems in the world and he wanted to sort them.... but nobody was ready for him. His teachings were taken the wrong way, and then manipulated after his death by the late Roman Empire for their own gain.... and it was gradually warped, distorted and perverted into the christianity we know today: an irrational and harmful personality-cult.

Yes I know, and I try not to Judge others harshly not only, because, of that being in the Bible but also because, I know what it is like to be judged harshly and unfairly so I would not want to be one who does that to others.Peace and happiness as well as truth to you

Jesus warns us that we will receive the same kind of judgment that we make of others. Do we really want that? That warning ought to sober any thinking person! Do we really believe God when He gives us such a stern warning?
Jesus adds another warning: Our judgment may be distorted because we may have a flaw of far greater magnitude in us than the flaw we observe so critically in our brother. The unspoken intimation is that because the flaw is ours, and we love ourselves, we are willing to be lenient in our self-judgment. By focusing our criticism on another, it enables us to avoid scrutinizing ourselves carefully and critically. Some enjoy correcting others because it makes them feel virtuous, compensating for failures in themselves that they have no desire to face. But the judgment we make about others is in reality the judgment we will receive from God.

God take in consideration every ones' action if you are someone who is always persecuting or harassing others you can't expect that God will gave his approval to someone who is pursuing Satan's ways.
Have a look at Matthew 7:2

quite right,and it is one of our greatest weaknesses today.
it spawns great animosity and is the cause of over zealous nationalism,and leads to conflict and yes even wars.
what seems like such a simple thing can do all this and more.
can any of us be so foolish to think we can cast stones.

How are you doing with that?
You should be perfectly judging others.
This judgment is based in God's word.

"Do all things without
murmuring and arguing,
so that you may be
blameless and innocent,
children of God without blemish
in the midst of a crooked and
perverse generation,
in which you shine like stars
in the world."
