Like Shasown said, he who is without sin and all that. It was one of the cornerstones of Christ's teaching.

Nope.
The teachings you took the 'snippet' from are from the Gospels where you first understand the concept is a Jewish Rabbi under Jewish Law who is teaching Law to other Jews under the Law.
In fact far from saying 'don't judge' (if you cut out 2 words from a sentence you can change the meaning entire as you did) but the actual message was:
Quote:

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Followed by the example of pointing out a 'speck' in a brothers eye while having a plank in your own.
Well this is for Jews and concerning their Law but the entire thing makes for a common-sense Christian principle too and simply put - be consistent in your judgment.
If the Pastor of this church was holding hands with his gay boyfriend during the sermon then he ought to hold himself to the same rules as the lesbians in the pews.
That is not complicated.
This Christian teaching is one of the very founding principles behind our societies belief in a fair and equal and just society where (we believe) that a government MP can and should be subject to the exact same laws and penalties (and right to defend) as the polish window-washer.
Again, the teaching is about judging. When you judge. about how to make proper judgments.
Obviously everything would be senseless if nobody 'judged' anything.
Duly noted you and Shasawn are delighted to be judging the Church here but I have no doubt will use different standards for some other things in your own lives?

Some of my best friends are homos! How dare you judge me!
