111. Ahh, But You Can Say He Isn't Acting In A Christlike Way!
you can point out where his policies and actions do not follow the teachings of Christ.

Specificity is your ally here.

Specificity is really the only way to nail someone like * to the wall on Christian teachings and Christ's example of a life.

None of us will ever meet the measure of Christ, right? Certainly it is not wrong to say where someone falls short of the ideal.

That to me is using good judgement, and not being judgemental. I don't believe that is just semantics either because judgment is a part of our being. We learn to use our judgment to live our lives and follow our moral compass, and ethical beliefs. Judgmentalism is beyond using judgement.
It is taking it to the step of holding others in judgement without holding ourselves to the same standard.
