Jesus faced a mob that was eager to execute a woman caught in adultery. He put a stop to it with a simple challenge: anyone who has no sin in their life should step forward and throw the first stone. That sentence is often cited as a reminder to avoid judging others when there are faults in your own life that need to be addressed.

No actually we can and are supposed to judge those who say they are Christians against the Word of God. Everything is to be judged against God's Word. Are we permitted to judge one’s heart - no, that is God's preview.

Please don’t confuse personal sin with doctrine. Or as in the case of the lds - false doctrine.

Jesus commanded truth, not falsehood, (John 17:17) and he aggressively went after those who taught lies/false doctrine (Matt. 15:9; Mark 7:7; Matt. 23-24). Paul said that any other or false gospel is ‘anathema’ (Galatians 1:9). Paul continually went after those who taught falsely: Eph. 4:14; 1 Tim. 1:3-4; I Tim. 4:1-6; 2 Tim. 4:3; Titus 1:9; Titus 2:1, 7.

Over and over in the New Testament (and the old for that matter) false religious systems are to be refuted. Start with the Book of Jude then work your way into III John and then end up with Christ swinging his whip in the Temple - - literally. You’re playing with fire when you twist a section of Scripture into an excuse to never confront error.

And yet we are also tasked by Jesus himself to be Holy as he is Holy, to emulate him in all facets of our life.

Jesus spent roughly half of his time on earth rebuking sin and pointing out the Error of Man.

We as "Christ"ians, can do no less.

Which means in no uncertain terms that we are required by God himself to rebuke those caught up in sin and to point those in error, such as Mormons, back to the Narrow Way of the Gospel as recorded in the Bible.

Bristol doesn’t appear to be either.

Underage sex, teen pregnancy, unwed mother to a baby daddy who appears in sex magazines and whose mother is a meth dealer. Conservatives, except those blinded by a cult of personality, condemn such things.
