Well said.
Sometimes, us Christians can be the biggest judge of all, when in fact, it is not up to us to Judge.
I consider myself a strong Christian and yes, I have called people the B word and sometimes worse. We are saved by Grace. We all fall short.
But, would you call them names because their religion and spiritual beliefs are different than yours?

BINGO! When I was Mormon, and in typical Mormon fashion, I prided myself on ‘keeping the commandments’ and not being a sinner. I was taught (and believed) as a Mormon that I could be (and needed to be) morally perfect to the point that I (like all Mormons) downplayed what sin was/is to just ‘missing the mark’ rather than offending God. I believed and was taught that God loved me because I ‘kept the commandments’. Only after I left, did I see how many commandments I was breaking and not seeing it.
As a Christian, I know I fall short and constantly have to ask Christ to forgive me and change me. I am humbly grateful that He loved me even when I was a sinner and saved me by His grace.
We mortals have no business trying to judge the salvation of another, but we judge people day in and day out with God-given intelligence. We judge another adult before we leave our children under his/her care. We judge who will be a good friend of ours. God make us intelligent in order for us to judge things that affect our ourselves and our families.
