Persecution in the form of others not accepting of the Truth to the point that I'm slandered, isolated, shamed, by others.
Judging to me is to curtail, prune the vine in the context I provided earlier. In the context your referring to concerning Christ is that He didn't come to make a decision regarding someone's fate.
It happens to atheists too. Some people can't handle an opinion different than their own and have to trash talk the other. That's on them. Let your freak flag fly.

Well, it’s great that you’ve determined to love the people who do that and not hold it against them.
Prune the vine? Perhaps you could explain further what you mean by that? How do you do that for others?
What happens when you prune the vine? The vine lives longer. The way in which you do this for others is show them Christ and teach them what is sin. And to judge your brother for what you have yourself overcome - this strengthens them. Remember the bible tells us to judge righteously - to first remove the splinter from our own eye before we remove the splinter from our brothers eye. Do we just remove the spliter from our own eye and leave our brother's eye splintered? - no.
We must shed light on darkness and expose sin so that we can know what needs pruned.

Can you give an example of a time you have removed a log from your eye and then successfully removed a splinter for someone else?
I’m surprised you think confusion is a sin, though?
Who is the author of confusion?
