“You shall do no injustice in judgment; you shall not be partial to the poor nor defer to the great, but you are to judge your neighbor fairly. You shall not go about as a slanderer among your people, and you are not to act against the life of your neighbor; I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:15-16 NASB1995)
Yes, this is Old Covenant Law, but it is retaught to us under the New Covenant, in the New Testament, so it is still relevant and applicable to our lives today. And although the New Testament speaks much against judging one another, it also speaks of the necessity of judging others, in some cases.
[Matthew 7:1-5; John 7:24,51; John 8:15-16; Romans 2:3; Galatians 6:1-5; 1 Corinthians 5:1-13; 2 Corinthians 10:12; James 5:19-20; Jude 1:22-23]
But we are to judge justly and righteously and fairly, and without prejudice or hate. We are not to judge according to our own selves, or according to our human traditions and culture, or by appearances, or without knowledge of the situation, and without hearing the accused and their defense. We are not to judge according to human flesh, by human standards, or hypocritically while we who judge do the same things. And we are not to compare others to ourselves thinking that they must be like us, for we are not all the same.
We must be very guarded against listening to gossip, too, for many innocent people are being slandered via gossip, and they are being accused falsely of what they did not do, just on the word of someone else who may be someone who is a liar and who has an ulterior motive for making certain that people believe the lies about someone, and not the truth. And it could be to try to make the other person look bad, so they will not be believed, and to protect their own reputation, or just so others will not believe the innocent.
And we should not believe other people just because they are preachers or pastors of “church” congregations, or because they are famous evangelists or book authors or movie actors or famous athletes or politicians, etc. We are taught in the Scriptures to test the spirits to see which ones are of God. And we should inquire of the Lord when we hear something about others, so we do not make judgments of others without knowledge, or just because so-and-so said it. Lots of people tell lies. So be very careful what you believe.
There are many liars today who are twisting the Scriptures to make them say what they do not say, if taught in context, and they are deceiving many people, and they are convincing them to believe the lies and not the truth. And they are getting many people to be followers of humans, rather than followers of God, and to participate and to approve of what is pure evil, in the name of God, or in the name of Christianity. But we are to do no injustice to anyone in judgment, and we are to do no harm to others.
So not one of us should be supporting and heralding and approving of the evil actions of others just because they are people of prominence or rulership, or because they call themselves God’s chosen people. For murder is wrong. Killing innocents is evil. And just because certain people claim that certain other people are evil, and that the others are doing evil things, and so they need to be punished for their evil, it does not mean that what they are telling us is the truth or that there is not some hidden agenda going on.
So make sure you are listening to God, and that you are testing everything you hear coming from the mouths of everyone, no matter who they are or how important or popular they are among the people. And don’t buy into religious theologies just because some famous person said them as truth. Be students of the Scriptures who study them in their appropriate context under the guidance and direction of the Holy Spirit. Be seekers of truth and not followers of lies, and follow the commands of God, and not human flesh.
You don’t want to end up following the wrong people and then end up sharing in their punishment because you believed and followed after a lie and you gave approval of evil people and their evil deeds, all in the name of God. God does not approve of evil. He teaches that we must not murder, and that we should love our enemies and do good to them and not harm them. We are to pray for our enemies and feed the hungry and the thirsty, even if they return evil for the good we do. So don’t get caught up in the lies.
[Proverbs 24:17-20; Proverbs 25:21-22; Matthew 5:8-12,43-48; Matthew 7:12; Luke 6:27-36; Luke 10:27; John 13:33-35; John 15:12; Romans 12:9-11,14-21; 1 Corinthians 13:1-8; 1 Corinthians 16:14; 1 John 4:7]

Love must be genuine.
Hate what’s evil; cling to good.
Love each other with affection.
Show respect for ev’ryone.
Never lack in your zeal.
Serve the Lord with diligence.
Rejoice in steadfast hope.
In affliction, patient be.
Keep on praying; share with others.
Practice hospitality.
Bless those who persecute.
Feel with others sympathy.
Be not filled with conceit.
Daily sit at Jesus’ feet.
Live in harmony with others.
Live at peace with ev’ryone.
Repay not to someone
With the evil he begot.
Do not take your revenge;
Leave it to the wrath of God.
If your enemy is thirsty,
Give to him something to drink.
Do what’s right for mankind.
Evil: overcome with good.
