Look at what Jesus says in the very next verse in Matthew: "
For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you."
I takes this to be a warning against hypocrisy (as many people also would). The point isn't not judging, because he does clearly say that "you will be judged". I see it as a matter of not holding a double standard.
Lets face it, we all judge other people more or less. And Christians have often gained a bad reputation for this. At the same time, I would hate to live in a world where there were no intention to judge good and evil, to determine right and wrong.
