      You didn’t read the whole thing did you? It’s about judging the righteous of another.

      As it says

      Christ is clear that “right judgment” (John 7:24) includes distinguishing between good and evil

          lol. Then you shouldn’t be trying to cite something you don’t understand. It’s all part of the same chapter. What Jesus is saying is don’t bitch about your neighbor not being religious enough, that’s for God to decide.

            No, what John is saying that Jesus said is that human beings are not qualified to pronounce judgment because they are blind to their own sin.

              You’re misreading it. You think it means you can’t judge anything which isn’t true and even Jesus clarifies it.

              The section is about people calling about the acts of others to make themselves look more pious.

              He isn’t saying don’t judge anyone for any reason. He wants people to be judged for the right reasons.

              Not sure you got the cultural references. The Pharisees is often used in the Bible. Jesus spoke out against them often. Sometimes they are in a story to be the foil.

              I’m sure you’re familiar with the paralytic man. That’s a parable told to illustrate what Jesus was talking about.
