On Judgment Part 2
The biblical point about not judging, however, is that we should follow God's assessment in every way, and not lean unto our own understanding when it comes to judgment (or any other moral and ethical, social and personal issue, for that matter, Pro 3:5-8). Thus, we can follow God in saying that homosexuality is an abomination to Him (Lev 18:22, Rom 1:26-27), without being judgmental on our own accord. Thus, we can say that liars and cowards are going to burn in the lake of sulfur (Rev 21:8), and don't keep company of people who ignore or ridicule God's Law (2 Ti 3:2-5), without being judgmental, for we are obedient to His will in doing so.
"I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me." (Joh 5:30)
The general call not to judge anyone and to associate with everyone equally, no matter what they believe or not believe, violates God's commandment of separation and holiness (Lev 20:26) as well as ignores God's own judgments as exemplified above. Instead, we are called to follow God in His judgment, just like Jesus did, and act accordingly.
