Condemning Christian ?

I see a lot of times where people who confess to being Christians, coming after people for their sins and telling them if they don't repent right now they'll burn in hell, but friends this will not help bring the lost to Jesus, in fact it will push them away, Im sure by now we're all aware of what the bible (scripture, God's word) says about certain sins and I agree with God and what He says, whether thats popular in todays world or not. But I also know people seem to forget Matthew 7:1-5 which says "1“Judge not, that you be not judged. 2For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; Mark 4:24; Luke 6:38and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you. 3Luke 6:41And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the plank in your own eye? 4Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye." or in romans 3:23 "for all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God" This is to say that everyone including christians who read our bibles everyday, pray all day, strive to walk in love all day everyday, still mess up there is no one, except God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit who are perfect, people are flawed from the day sin entered the world (as you can find in the book of genesis) and yes it is true there are christians who focus only on two sins, but then disregard the others, people talking bad about others behind their backs, gossiping, drinking to get drunk, lying, gossiping, so many other things that are sins but are normalized in todays society, does that make them okay? Nope! heck even swearing is a sin because thats using unwholesome speech, but thats also one of the more normalized sins in today’s society.

What I'm saying is we need to focus more on our relationship with God, and praying for those who are in sin, praying for those who are intentionally hateful or rude to us, or unintentionally hateful or rude to us, we are to walk in love and be the example of the love of Christ Jesus, and screaming at people, telling them they're going to hell, isn't an example of these things, it's showing what not to be. Jesus is my Lord and savior and it is my hope I can eventually be like Him, but the best way fro me or you to do that is to spend more time in prayer, in the word, and even if your prayer is just telling Him thank you, and thanking Him for the things you have, and for who He is, and how good He is, you're still doing right, God is the one and only we need care about above all things, and to grow in Him, and our relationships with Him we must turn off or limit the world like through social media or television, and spend time in His word, in worship, or prayer. there are so many ways we can glorify God, even by helping people we're glorifying God, because when we do that we're being the hands and feet of Jesus, but make sure you're doing that to be actually helping, not just for views on a tiktok video, remember, scripture tells us Matthew 6:3 NKJV

3But when you do a charitable deed, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing
