Suppose someone comes up to me and says "I think Susan is a prostitute."

I would think my first reaction should be "Okay, why is he telling me this and why do I need to know it."

Suppose he follows up with, "Please pray for her. I'm very concerned."

But suppose he follows up with, "I always knew she was no good."

These are completely different scenarios which require keen spiritual discernment to handle. Discernment by the way is a kind of judgment.
