What's that saying in the bible Yadda
Do not judge your fellow man for it is with your very own judgment that God will judge YOU.....!
Ajax,
Everyday, in every way, we all exercise 'judgment' [make choices].
And in all of our relationships with others, we are constantly exercising 'judgment' [make choices].
Exercising 'judgment' [making choices] is unavoidable, in every human life.
And
that is intentional.
A significant purpose of our life here, imo, is to choose,
between one thing, and another.
....to exercise 'judgment'.
And yes it is true, in that [i.e. for the choices we make in this life], we will all come into judgement.
Dictionary;
discrimination = =
1 the action of discriminating against people.
2 recognition and understanding of the difference between one thing and another. good judgement or taste.Dictionary;
discriminating = = having or showing good taste or judgement..

Your estimation is that; To judge and condemn [and punish] wicked and violent men, is a form of evil ?
Oh yes!
Of course it is, because we have to forgive.
And have to show mercy, to wicked and violent men, don't we !
/sarc off
No [emphatically], we don't!
The God i seek, tells us, that when
we refuse to judge and condemn [and punish] wicked and violent men, WE OURSELVES ARE WICKED [i.e. we share their wickedness].
He tells us, that when
we refuse
to protect the innocent, in that, we refuse to judge and condemn [and punish] wicked and violent men, WE OURSELVES ARE WICKED [i.e. we share their wickedness].
And, we multiply lawlessness in the land! .
