How can anyone get into heaven based on Matt 7:1 and Luke 6:37?
“Judge not, that ye be not judged” (Matthew 7:1) and “Judge not, and ye shall not be judged, condemn not and ye shall not be condemned” (Luke 6:37).
Most Christians judged people who are atheist/islamic/different branch of Christianity etc.. . The whole world is full of judges, juries, voters, employers, teachers, etc. which are all constantly judging others.

The same Bible in John 7:24 NASB says
'Do not judge according to
appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.''
so, a balance must be discovered. The forbidden Judging is condemning. Condemning is forbidden. But the prescribed judging means discretion or sieving through facts to reach a sound conclusion.

Grace. Everything Jesus said is the TRUTH. but, it was before he died on the cross. and gave us grace. nobody can live up to the standards he said to do. if his death didn't give us grace then honestly, he came and made the old testament even HARDER! adultery was just looking at a woman now. and murder is just hating someone. he even said unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and the pharisses you will in no wise enter into heaven. Which was true, before he died. and rose and then sent the Holy Spirit to live in us. I'm promising you that JUST by accepting jesus and that's it! you have a FREE gift of eternal life. and Jesus works with you on the rest. accept him and let the chips fall where they may. you will see for your self.

because those scriptures do not say never judge
they say do not be hypocritical when judging
Matthew 7:5
King James Version (KJV)
7:5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
luke 6:42
42 Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.
