"let he who is without sin cast the first stone" is something that Jesus would say or "hate the sin not the sinner"

But if someone has made bad decisions, they frequently take advantage of others or make proclamations of their own superior morals that are in direct contradiction to your own (such as liberals/feminists)

They have made their bed. If I call a hoe a hoe in my head obviously not offending her but acknowledging her category in life based on everything I know - is that truly judging her? If so , is there a healthy way to judge.

Obviously update your understanding with new information too/be wise.

I've always taken it as "Be careful with condemning people so you don't inadvertently condemn yourself." It's fine to recognize the patterns of someone's behaviour, but don't assume from your assessment that you're intrinsically superior to them or that you *know* God would condemn them but not you, because you don't know with certainty how you would act if your circumstances were different, and it's possible that you could be mistaken about what's right in some situation, and given how lacking in self-awareness people can be, it's usually better to prioritize assessing your own intentions, actions, and the consequences of your actions over assessing the behaviour of others to avoid hypocrisy.

It's wrong to judge people you don't know, that you've never even seen or spoken one word to. Yes.

assuming is different than judging. you need some prolonged exposure to judge someone. assuming is a defenfsive mechanism though and much more important because it leads to intuition which could mean life and death. you can assume all you want, observation sets in, if there is no other reason to keep observing it turns into something that feels like judgming because you are then creating stories in your head because humanity is boring at this stage for the reptilian part of our brains.

It's quite simple anon.
For Jews "judge" meant taking the position of God and condemning.
This is what Jesus is against, not judging in a human way.

There is a healthy way to judge.

Become a judge.

Yeshua was the devil. judge and be judged, we all share this together, never forgive to forgive, its a sin to call a guilty man innocent to conceal or diffuse your own guilt.

discernment is not judgment and you should flee evil.

Judge mercifully.

>There is no doubt that even in primitive times in Egypt there must have been men in every village community who possessed feelings of kindness and humanity towards man and beast, and it is probable that such men soon realized that it did not pay to retaliate, or take vengeance, or exact their due to the uttermost. Old men with experience and discretion would have found out that there were cases in which it was good policy to temper justice with mercy, and their actions and decisions would permeate the community and serve as examples and guides to the younger men.

>And as religion developed, morality would develop, and men would be more than ever convinced that it was profitable to discharge their moral obligations honourably. It would happen of necessity that sometimes the head man or leader of a community would earn the reputation of being a good lawgiver, or a good judge, and in such a case his decisions would help to form the foundation of the law of the land, and his influence would make itself felt on the customs of the people.
