Matthew 7:1

"Judge not, that ye be not judged."

One of the most used and also, ironically, one of most misinterpreted/misused versed in the Bible.

Webster’s Dictionary says to judge means "to discern, to distinguish, to form an opinion, to compare facts or ideas, and perceive their agreement or disagreement, and thus to distinguish truth from falsehood." so in essence saying something good about someone like Londie is a good person is judging just like if someone would say LFJC is a liar and a bad person.

IMO the verse is thrown around too loosely. Honestly, if no one judged anyone else - can you imagine the kind of world we'd live in? Personally, if I see someone doing something sinful/immoral/etc. no, I'm not going to think very highly of them until they admit their mistakes and strive to improve, not repeat them.
