I posted directly from God’s word.

What is your justification for going against the admonition “judge not, lest ye be judged”? And John 3:17 where Jesus said He came not to judge?

Instead you’re jumping straight to insults of a brother in Christ. Maybe you should spend more time in God’s word yourself.

What do you make of Matthew 23?

Pointing out to people what God's standards are is NOT judging them.

God has already judged what they did as sin.

They NEED to know that, otherwise they do not see their sinful state, they do not see that they are already under God's judgment for it, and they do not see their need for a savior.

Telling people of God's mercy is irrelevant if they don't see that they need it. Mercy can only be extended if there's something to be judged for.
