Why do so many "SO-CALLED" Christians(maybe they are just novices?? I can't explain but want to know WHY?) claim that if you stand up and declare the truth of God's Word to sinners against their sins AND still offer them hope through Jesus Christ (especially when applied to a certain community here who think they are their own "race") to be set free from that sin if they will REPENT, JUDGE ME FOR TELLING THE TRUTH THAT WILL SET THEM FREE? They assist the enemy in silencing our Christian liberties in speaking the Word of God when the truth is ALL that will set them free. Many "so-called" Christians have condemned and judged me for this very thing. It looks really bad on the Christian community to be divided here. I would still rather be divided by TRUTH than united with IGNORANCE. Any excuses for this behavior that does more scattering than gathering and causes division instead of unity? You see, I had to avoid actually NAMING THE TYPE OF SIN HERE so as not to be deleted!!

Condemnation is like if someone puts someone to death or tells someone to go to Hell.
Righteous judgment is telling someone that what they are doing is wrong or a sin. It is a warning, not a condemnation. It says in the Bible that the saints will judge even the angels.
Only God can know who will ultimately end up in Hell, but we can know by what the Church teaches us what is good and what is evil and what is putting someone at risk for ending up in Hell if they continue to be enslaved by their sinful ways.
1: When one of you has a grievance against a brother, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?
2: Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?
3: Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, matters pertaining to this life!

Judging others is very misunderstood, even by Christians who you would think know the truth.
If I say you are wrong for choosing red as your favorite, that is judgment because there are no commands from God (non that I know of) telling us which color is best.
God does give us other commands and when we decide to break those commands, that is sin. If I say you are wrong for telling lies, God wants us to speak truth, I am only speaking on His behalf. If I say you sin when you stole those shoes, God tells us not to steal so It is His judgment, not mine.
We need to understand this because it is okay to tell someone that they are a sinner in need of a Savior. The Bible is where we get that information, so it is not judgment.

Christians are called to judge and test all things and hold onto the good, and we test things through the Holy Spirit. Judgment would be seeing something, ascertaining whether it leads to righteousness or wickedness, and follow the righteous path. Condemnation would be seeing wickedness and trying to usurp God's authority and pretend that as a Christian, you have a right to inflict punishment on a person. We don't have that power. We can say that something is wrong, but we can't restrain it by violence, and we can never justify it just to avoid controversy. We do not establish what is right or wrong, but the Spirit does. Being led by the Spirit, we have to stand our ground and never justify wickedness.

It is not judgment to call a sin a sin, or a sinner a sinner. It is wrong when we judge someone to be less then ourselves, etc. but it is not judgment to say that lying is sin or to tell someone that lies that they are a liar (sinner) and what the Bible says about sinners.
Unrighteous judgment is when you for example see someone acting provocatively in a public place and think "Look at that tramp, she is so sleazy."
Righteous judgment is when you see that person and think I need to separate myself from this behavior but do not think bad things about the person.
BTW we all judge others unrighteously.....my big thing is when I see parents who do not put their little ones in car-seats or something similar.

I'm uncertain as to what is your actual question. Let me just say this. The Bible is very clear as to what is sin and what it takes to be forgiven of that sin and be cleansed from all unrighteousness. The Bible is equally very clear that salvation comes only through repentance from ALL sin and accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour. It was sin -all sin- that nailed Jesus Christ to the cross of Calvary. It is only through repentance of sin and complete faith in Jesus Christ that we receive salvation. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The type of sin is unimportant. What is important is repentance and faith in Jesus Christ and The Holy Bible. Since the wages of sin is death, all sin is punishable by eternal death -hell. But the gift of God is eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. The Truth is found in The Holy Bible. Accept it and Jesus Christ and you will live. Reject it all and you will perish, be condemned, spend eternity in the Lake of Fire. It's really that simple. God's judgement is always righteous. God can and will forgive any sinner -regardless of the sins- except blasphemy against the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ died in order to take upon Himself the righteous punishment for all sin. All one need to do is to repent of sin. Repent means to turn around and go the opposite direction; believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.

we are instructed to verify the plank in our own eye, no longer the splinter in somebody elses eye. Then we see that we are going to be forgiven whilst we forgive others who offend or harm us. we at the instant are not qualified to decide others, nonetheless we do ought to take action to restrict people who harm others. The discernment we ought to strengthen is to prepare to our own movements.
