Christians are not permitted to be judgemental but neither are they meant to blind themselves to reality.
“How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?” (Matthew 7:4 NIV) ...
This verse clearly refers to hypocrisy and reminds us too that we are all sinners.
Secondly, the subtext suggests that we must not consider ourselves to be better than others.
Even so the Scriptures require us to seek justice and to do so means that we must use our faculties to judge.
"He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?" (Micah 6:6– 6:8)
We must tread an extremely fine line.
The militant left, atheists and the terminal politically correct recognise this problem facing Christians and so whenever a Christian speaks out against a wrong, a cry goes up claiming that the Christian is being judgemental. It is such an easy attack and of course, sometimes their arrows will find a genuine target.
What all need to grasp is that such people attack anybody speaking out against things of which they might approve as 'being judgemental'. On the other hand however, in their turn, they are utterly 'judgemental' about matters which offend their philosophies. It is hypocrisy of the deepest hue, but then, they do not have to answer to God - or so they think!
