Is it scriptural to judge?

"Choose (discern/judge between the two) whom you will serve".

Share the Good News . . . but judge for your self whom YOU will serve . . . NOT whom others will serve. That is their business and God's . . . NOT yours!

If one judges righteously, then what measure will he be judged with?

If I judge someone for stealing but do not steal myself, what beam do I have to remove from my eye?

If I am to discern good from evil, how am I not to judge?

If I am to beware of false prophets and false teachers, how am I not to judge?

If I am to discern the fruit of a tree, how am I not to judge?

If I am to rebuke a brother who sins, or if several of us are to rebuke an elder for sinning, how am I not to judge?

If I am to judge the angels in the next life, can I not judge the minor things of this life?

Am I not to judge those inside the church?

If I am to judge the world, am I not able to judge trivial matters?

Aren't even men of little account in the church worthy of being appointed judges?

You are not understanding the meaning of "Judge" correctly.
In those examples you cite it's not judgement that you are referring to at all but discernment. There is a HUGE difference between the two.

If you see a person sinning and say, "That person is going to hell". then that is judgement. If you say "that person is sinning", that's just observation.
