Joh 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
You tell me?
23 Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man’s whole body on the Sabbath? 24 Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”
I'd say he meant, "Where's your love and common sense, people?"

So you believe the word "Judge" in that verse simply means to have "common sense"? Or which words in the verse are you associating with "common sense"?

This is probably one of the most powerful standards of living for any Christian given to us. May we live up to it daily.
1 Cor 11:31 'But if we judged ourselves rightly, we should not be judged.', is synonymous with 1 John 1:9 'If we acknowledge our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.'
Whenever you as a believer commit a sin, you should immediately name it to God. In doing so you are agreeing with God that you sinned. God then says something like ''That sin was judged at the cross, you are forgiven, case dismissed.'' That's grace.
Many are completely insensitive to their surroundings and ignorant without the ability to discern objectively or wisely.
Especially, when it comes to certain actions which are opposed to good sense and discretion; lacking sound judgment.

Including, the so called believers.
Again, it depends on the spirit, motive and attitude in which judgment is being done.

"For God gave us a Spirit (contrary to popular opinion), not of fear; but of power, love, and self-control."
I exercise these constantly, specially the last one.
It keeps me, healthy, wealthy, and wise.
