Jesus Himself teaches, as recorded in John 8:42-47,
42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I
proceeded forth and came from God; nor have I come of Myself, but He sent Me.
43 Why do you not understand My speech? Because you are not able to listen to
My
word.
44 You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to
do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own
resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
45 But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me.
46 Which of you convicts Me of sin? And if I tell the truth, why do you not
believe Me?
47 He who is of God hears God's words; therefore you do not hear, because you
are not of God."
Jesus *also* teaches, as recorded in Matthew 7:1, John 7:42, Luke 6:37 (et al.)
to "Judge NOT-"
See especially: Matthew 7:1-3,
1 Judge NOT that ye be not judged.
[which simply states that one avoids judgment by NOT judging, just as one
avoids
the act of speeding by NOT speeding.]
2 For with the same judgment you pronounce, you will be judged; and with the
measure you use, it will be measured to you.
3 Why do you look at the speck in your brother's eye, but fail to notice the
beam in your own eye?
(see also: Luke 6:37-42)

Then you surely must be dead.
