Who are we to judge? But we are to rebuke? So how do we differenciate it?

So how ah?

JUDGE:
1. To form an opinion or estimation of after careful consideration: judge heights; judging character.
2.
a. Law To hear and decide on in a court of law; try: judge a case.
b. Obsolete To pass sentence on; condemn.
c. To act as one appointed to decide the winners of: judge an essay contest.
3. To determine or declare after consideration or deliberation.
4. Informal To have as an opinion or assumption; suppose: I judge you're right.
5. Bible To govern; rule. Used of an ancient Israelite leader.
v.intr.
1. To form an opinion or evaluation.
2. To act or decide as a judge.

Rebuke:
1. To criticize or reprove sharply; reprimand.
2. To check or repress.
n.
A sharp reproof.

Means? Better to scold directly then to gossip behind lar.. I dun think rebuking is judging. Rebuking is telling the person in the face what is wrong and hearing what the other person has to say then tt's it, everything is behind us. (of course need to find solution also lar..) Judgement is perhaps silently thinking about the wrong and interpreting it with our own opinion without confronting or hearing other's explanation. Being one sided I suppose?

So dun judge; got problem? confront.. that's the right way.. if not? then forgive and let go... life will be more joyful for us that way... What do you think?
