What about James 4:12, in which we are asked:
There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?
Or Romans 2:1, in which Paul instructs:
...thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things.
It seems to me that the hypocrisy here is that a man of as sinful a nature as Reverend James Osborne claims perfection yet castigates his fellow sinners.

If one reads just your first example I believe anyone would see that the Lord is restating his'' judge not '' scripture That Reverend Jim so fully explained above. Jesus is saying that he is not going to waste his time on unbelievers, but will save his followers which are the world to him.
