Yes. And he is correct.

The sin of Judgment is a very difficult one to overcome.

I am still working on it.

Except that a great portion of the Bible is a text book on how to judge people, situations, etc.

The way to recover from the sin of judgement is to realize and accept that God Loves you unconditionally, no matter what you have done. However, your self judgement is usually far worse than the judgement of others and it blocks you from receiving God’s Love.

When a person is unable to accept God’s Love their upper back appears very tight. I feel it when I am near them. They feel underserving of Love due to their self judgement and they close the back door to their heart.

I stayed at a Benedictine monastery while I was soul searching and noticed that about a third of the approximately 50 monks had the back door to their heart closed. They felt they had to earn God’s Love and felt unworthy of it. The Abbot radiated Love so I knew he was aware. I asked him how he would guide them to accept, feel and experience God’s Love in their souls. It’s a difficult thing to teach as often it takes intense suffering, leading to despair, and then surrender before a person feels God’s Love.

Tell me about it, sauropod. Or so it has seemed. But I do know the shortcut to overcoming it is to admit we’re wrong.
