Are you a mind-reader?

Can you see the future?

Are you, perhaps, The Shadow, and you can know the darkness within the hearts of men?

No.

No.

Once more, no. Are you, perhaps, trying a sarcasm-laden version of "who are you to judge"? Just in case you missed my original comment to that effect:

"He's a good Christian!" (Read Matthew 7:16-20. And if I hear another--forgive me--idiotic repetition of the old "Who are you to judge?" quip, I may scream. Logic shreds that infantile slogan to shreds, in this case... since someone could use the same "defense" of anyone, including Jim Jones. Calling oneself a Christian isn't sufficient--sorry--just as calling yourself a 747 doesn't give you the power to make trans-Atlantic flights on your own power. Words mean things.)
FRiend, stringing together a list of red herrings (such as you've done here) doesn't further any rational point; the comments in that string suggest that "only those with mystical ability to read hearts, or read the future, can possibly form a judgment about another person's character or trustworthiness".

...to which I say:

BUNKUM. Nonsense. Sheer insanity.

Matthew 7.

To suggest that one cannot evaluate anyone's "fruit", or that one cannot (as Our Lord says we can) extrapolate the type of tree (without going further, and wrongly assuming something about that person's culpability or eternal destination) from which such fruit comes, is as illogical as it is unbiblical.
