Only God Can Judge You?

Committing a sin is ugly, defending a sin is uglier and one of the ugliest defenses is saying “Only Allah can judge me”. 

It is like Allah has created them and left them to be and act like how they wish, allowing them to fall into actions which hurts them. How is this true and He is the one who stated in His book “Allah wants to make clear to you [the lawful from the unlawful] and guide you to the [good] practices of those before you and to accept your repentance. And Allah is Knowing and Wise. Allah wants to accept your repentance, but those who follow [their] passions want you to digress [into] a great deviation.”(1)?
It is like Allah (swt) has not shown the path that we should follow. How is this true and He is the one who stated “Have We not made for him two eyes? And a tongue and two lips? And have shown him the two ways?”(2)?
It is like those who order what is good and forbid what is wrong are the worst creations. How is this true and Allah their creator stated “You are the best nation produced [as an example] for mankind. You enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong and believe in Allah”(3)?
It is like those who stay quiet and let them sin are the best creations. How is this true and Imam Ali (A.S) stated “Whoever resists from forbidding wrongness with his heart, hands, and tongue is considered a dead person between the living”(4)?
 It is like the doors of ordering what is good and forbidding what is wrong are closed. How can this be true when Allah (swt) ordered “And let there be [arising] from you a nation inviting to [all that is] good, enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong, and those will be the successful.”(5) and the Prophet stated “My people will remain in a good state as long as they order what is good and forbid what is wrong.”(6)
