Is it a sin to point out another sin

We are expressly told not to judge others but I find it a bit awkward, some people just need to be told the truth,which it might be very bitter. Does this action makes one a bigger sinner and should we turn blind eyes to obviously bad behavior so as not to sin?

Let others worry about their sins. You can tell them they made a mistake but I do not think that it is appropriate to tell people off with their sins. I am sure you wouldn't want anyone to do that to you.

Dear friend this is why sinners thrive in their act because no one want to call a spade a spade.A rapist keep on raping young girls and people move on as if nothing happens, a known scammer keep on defrauding people no one is ready to speak up then how can such a person live a better life or change when he or she isn't caution because we believe we are all sinners. The world would have been a better place if we could caution one another, don't you think so dear friend?

It all depends on who the person is and whether they respect your opinion or not and whether you use the harsh and judgemental word 'sin' or whether you approach it in another way, like '"What you're doing is wrong because it is hurtful to people." or something like that. Sin is usually something which is only between one person and God and should not be the concern of anyone else unless the person's action affects oneself or others around them.
To outright tell someone that they are sinning is almost always a sin in itself because it implies that you are putting yourself in the place of God and judging them, which you have no right or authority to do.

Buddy,I think we should always call a spade what it is and I'm sure the world would be a better place. Some bad behavior just need to be called what it is, a sin which the perpetrator should refrain from to make life more worthwhile. Take example armed robbers that maimed and kill others to possess their wealth, do we turn blind eyes to such behavior because we believe we are sinners as well.This Needs outright caution .what do you think?

It is better to tell the truth to someone than to tell them lies. So no matter what the consequences right after I believe everyone deserves to know it whether it may be good or bad.
