There is a big difference between being "judgmental" towards other's preferences and being tolerant toward sin! This chapter is about "doubtful issues" (preferences) not right and wrong!
Some people live their lives to condemn anything people choose to do that is NOT what they would choose to do. They love to "judge" others for their life choices which are neither right or wrong. We all know these people. We have all been them at times.
Jesus was gracious to all people. He was not condemning of sinners, but He definitely wasn't "tolerant" toward sin! To be "like" Jesus would be to express love to all sinners and to take a bold stand against sin.
