“Sometimes
people feel that it is wrong to judge others in any way. While it is
true that you should not condemn others or judge them unrighteously, you
will need to make judgments of ideas, situations, and people throughout
your life. …
“Judgment
is an important use of your agency and requires great care, especially
when you make judgments about other people. All your judgments must be
guided by righteous standards. Remember that only God, who knows each
individual’s heart, can make final judgments of individuals (see Revelation 20:12; 3 Nephi 27:14; D&C 137:9). …
“… As
much as you can, judge people’s situations rather than judging the
people themselves. Whenever possible, refrain from making judgments
until you have an adequate knowledge of the facts. Always be sensitive
to the Holy Spirit, who can guide your decisions” (True to the Faith: A Gospel Reference [2004], 90–91).
