Close, but a Christian doesn't judge. That's up to the big guy upstairs.
You're misreading the verse. It's referring to double-standards. i.e. don't judge someone by a standard you're unwilling to be judged by.
This^
We are called to have discernment in all things, which is judging.
Saying/noticing that someone is doing wrong is certainly in the purview of a Christian.
a Christian doesn't judge
Says who? Jesus doesn't forbid it. In fact, he instructs us to teach all that he commanded. Is it "judgy" of us to proclaim what kingdom living is like?
Also, believers are certainly to judge (not condemn) each other to some extent. Peter wrote that. I'll let you look it up.
Yes, crazy how so many people stumble over and misinterpret this.
Yeah the scripture about removing the rafter from your eye before removing the straw from your brother’s eye still has that last part. Just to be able to understand there is a situation in which you may be able to help you have to “judge” that to be the case.

What do you mean by judge? You see a murder happening right in front of you, you aren't going to judge a bit, like at least for your own sake? You aren't going to think something like "this is bad, this is a capital sin, I probably should be careful about that guy staring at me now..."? You are just going to remain neutral and think "this is neither good or evil, because I don't judge" and remain idle?
Of course you're going to judge
