We can judge actions

 

What do you think Jesus meant when he said, "Judge not"?
 
Do you think he meant "don't judge deeds, don't believe the Commandments, don't morally discriminate a just war from an unjust war or a hero from a bully"?
 
He couldn't have meant that. 
 
He meant "don't claim to judge motives and hearts, which only God can see."
 
I can judge your deeds, because I can see them.
 
I can't judge what your motives are, because I can't see that.

- Peter Kreeft -- A Refutation of Moral Relativism.
