Scripture, particularly in Matthew 7:1-2, clearly instructs not to judge others without first examining our own shortcomings.
Judging others without self-examination is critiqued throughout the Bible, especially in Matthew 7:1-2, where Jesus explicitly commands, 'Judge not, that you be not judged.' This directive serves as a reminder that no one is without sin and that we should approach discussions of sin with humility. Furthermore, Romans 14 emphasizes the variety of faith among believers and warns against passing judgment on those who are weaker in faith. The Apostle Paul encourages believers to receive one another positively, turning our focus from condemnation to mutual support and understanding, as God's grace extends to all believers, regardless of their maturity in faith.
