You have to understand that there is a difference between judging someone and pointing out what the Bible says. If you are a habitual liar and I tell you the Bible says lying is a sin and that all liars shall have their part in the lake of fire. I am not judging you. I am just pointing you to God's judgment.
Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.

Read Matthew 7:16-20 in conjunction with John 8:3-11. The first verses call everyone to be fruit inspecters. It says by their "Fruits" you will know them. That tells us to make certain "judgements". When you combine verses in the bilbe together you get a total picture. The story in John is of a woman caught in adultery. Jesus says "Neither do I condemn you, now go and leave you life of sin." Nobody likes being made aware of their sins but if they are honestly searching God they will repent and will not be offended.

Only God can judge people for their sins. I have at times pointed out to my children and to VERY CLOSE FRIENDS ONLY that some action probably isn't acceptable to God. I do NOT judge them for those actions. And if one were to point out MY shortcomings, (as HAS happened), and dependent on how it was phrased, I would either thank them for loving me enough to point it out, or simply ignore them since they don't have the power to judge either. To say ALL Christians judge people for their sins is at the very least a generality and stereotypical . And needless to say INCORRECT.

Judging in the wrong context can be damaging to one's personal emotional life. We feel ashamed or angry with someone who has pointed out a possible error or sin that we have made. Judging can be good also if it is done in a positive constructive context. For example, say someone you know and care for is in a abusive relationship, and the person you know and love is getting hurt really bad. Do you confront the person that is violating your friend and tell them that its wrong ? Or do you say I dont want to judge that person and violate his/her freedom to do what they want. Another example, say you have a child of your own that has been sodomized or raped etc.. would you not judge that persons actions against your child? Would you agree if that person was caught by the law and was awaiting his/her trial wouldnt you want justice to be served. Ultimate judging for ones destiny is not done by mankind but by GOD and GOD alone. HIS judgements are just because he knows the intents of our hearts. We on the other hand can only go by the physical and verbal actions of one anothers conduct. But GOD says that we should not judge those outside the church, but inside. But when we judge it should be done in LOVE and not hypocritically. And if we judge we better examine ourselves first before we judge others!!! So that becomes the dificulty of judging one another because we must have all the facts, the truth of the situation, and a plan to edify, restore and encourage that person instead of tearing them down. GOD doesnt want HIS church to be wreckless in our behavior, because HE has set moral standards for our benefit. Just as the world has set laws for society so that we could live peaceable with one another. So the answer to the question is why is it ok for christians to judge you for your sin is okay, they can't!!! JESUS died on a hill on a wooden cross 2000 years ago in Judea to resolve us of our sins, but if you dont except what HE has done for you, you will be judged for your sins. please contact me for further information on what has been said

It's not ok to judge.
Just as you said some people take it as judging when you point out sin.

No person should judge another.
As a Christian Preacher I try very hard to judge myself against the Word of God not others.

Well in 1st Corinthians God does say that Christians should judge people from the church for their sins so that's probably why they are judging you but I don't think Christians should be snobby and say that you can't judge them.

certainly, those matters additionally get multiple point out from the pulpit, yet unusually, not multiple press time. For some reason, the ACLU and the NAMBL individuals do in basic terms not line as much as protest preachers decrying poverty, homicide, and adultery. without Jesse Jackson and various of well-known human beings announcing "we've the splendid TO SLEEP around AND ROB AND KILL", the clicking in basic terms would not discover sermons exciting. bypass determine. Now, whilst it replaced into invoice Clinton huffily protecting his suitable to rape, homicide, and committ adultery, HE replaced right into a brilliant hero because of the fact he replaced into the Democratic president on the time. Ken Starr replaced into the "bum", in accordance to the clicking, for formidable to look into BC's abuse of ladies individuals in his workplace. in spite of the undeniable fact that, Ken Starr wasn't a preacher, in user-friendly terms a legal expert.

All who believe in Christ are Christians, so to exclisively call the "born agains" as Christians is a sort of incorrectness.
