Zone1 Christians: How Seriously do you take the Admonition "Judge not that Ye Be Not Judged?"

Are you reading Matthew 7:1-3--For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?
A couple of homilies I remember brought up the difference between assessing the behavior as opposed to judging the entire person. An example is seeing a person acting selfishly in a particular instance might have one assessing that act to be selfish, which is not the same as judging the whole person as selfish.

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged I've mulled over several times, and will continue to ponder. I have a habit (and not necessarily a good one) of giving someone a pass when it may have been in their better interest to hold them to account.
Judge = condemn. That makes it clearer.
 
People who believe this have something to hide
 
I waiver between considering myself an Atheist and a "Possibilian," for no one can know with absolute certainty there are deities. The religious will clam they know for certain, but until they are wholly dead and gone, they couldn't know. People have NDE's (Near Death Experiences) but it could just be their brains conjuring visions of what they've been fed through years of indoctrination.
As for judging, we all judge people based upon a combination of their statements and behavior. It's just natural.


Near death experiencer are reporting that the law of our eventually reaping whatever we sow is enforced in the afterlife. I am sure that this applies to being a critical person or a gossip as well.

Rabbi Yeshua - Jesus even told us to pray for our enemies.

Near death experiencers report that prayer is one of the most powerful forces in the universe or multiverse.

In recent decades, the relationship between prayer and healing has moved from the realm of personal belief into the domain of scientific investigation. A growing body of research, conducted under rigorous clinical conditions, suggests that prayer may indeed have measurable effects on physical health. Studies published in respected medical journals and reported by major news outlets such as the BBC have found statistically significant improvements in outcomes for patients who were the recipients of intercessory prayer – even when they were unaware they were being prayed for. These findings span a range of medical conditions, from heart disease to AIDS, and have been echoed in the work of researchers like Dr. Larry Dossey, who has extensively explored the healing power of prayer. Together, this emerging evidence points to the possibility that prayer taps into a form of transcendental consciousness – one that may influence health and healing in ways science is only beginning to understand.
