Judgment. The word in itself has it's own harsh implication. But what does it mean to the normal guy like me in my daily interactions. Well, first, I have to remember how the word fits into God's plan, and then into my life. "Judge not, that ye be not judged". (St. Matthew 7:1) Jesus spoke at the sermon on the mount. In St. Matthew 7: 2-5 Jesus goes on to tell you of the disparity of the judgment of others, whilst still being a fool oneself. Clearly Jesus message tells of the judgment WE CAN USE here to understand who and what we are dealing with. In St. Matthew 7:15-20, we are clearly told to watch for false prophets that come to you in sheep's clothing, but are inwardly really ravenous wolves (15), "Wherefore by their fruits you shall know them" (20), it clear that Lord Jesus Christ commands us to use our good solid judgment, based on facts and truths, actions and deeds, not just words to understand the ones around us and those we associate with and even those that we come in contact with day to day. For Clearly Jesus said in St. Matthew 7:26, "And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand". So, when we read Christ Jesus' words, and understand what God is requiring from us, it is always right to judge false teachers and false teaching using the Word of God as the standard. Nitpicking is one thing. Removing rotten fruit is another. We must be discerning in our discernment and always proceed on the basis of truth and facts leaving the unknown areas of motivation to God.
Enjoy every moment and every Blessing from God

Likewise, Brother - Sometimes it is better to exercise good judgment and turn your back on evil, rather than trying to convert an unconvertible evil.
I hope you and yours have a blessed Sunday.
