That verse “judge not” is about not judging HYPOCRITICALLY, not not judging at all. Christians are called to judge false doctrine and teachings and warn of false prophets - which is exactly what we do.

If I condemned someone for adultery and was having an affair myself, then your comments to me would be justified. However, I am not judging hypocritically at all.

It is IMPOSSIBLE for a Mormon to have a personal relationship with Christ and remain a faithful Mormon. Why? Because Mormons to not believe, or teach, the Gospel of Grace. In fact they teach AGAINST a personal relationship with Christ. All ex-Mormons who have become Christians will tell you that they NEVER heard the Gospel of Grace until AFTER they left Mormonism. That is just a fact. It isn’t judging their heart, it is judging their teachings.

Mormons are spiritually blind and lost. Every one of them who still believes in it. I spend hours every single day weeping and praying for God to open their eyes.

I do what I do because God has called me to it and who are YOU to tell me not to do what God has called me to do?!?! You are judging my heart by claiming I don’t have charity. Now, that makes YOU judging me hypocritically, which is contrary to the verse you posted.

I thank God that more people didn’t have your attitude, or I would still be a member of that demonic cult and not have ever become a Christian. You may not agree with our methods, but they work, and most ex-Mormons will tell you they work. The Christians who were ‘nice’ to me when I was LDS, I had no respect for. The Christians who challenged me, made me angry enough to prove them wrong are the ones that reached me with the truth and got me to really examine the claims of Mormonism. They are the ones who loved me enough to tell me I was headed for Hell and PRAISE GOD they did.

So, back off and let me do what God has called me to do. I answer to him, not you.

Sounds like you’ve had quite a personal journey. But last time I checked, this isn’t a “Christian conversion” board. So while you may post what you like, simply telling people to “back off” while you do your Lord’s work is in no way conducive to a forum where people can comment on whatever they wish. They might as well tell you to “back off.”

That you do. It is your duty and obligation to do so, and indeed should be your delight to do so. And yes, I believe you 100% about your praying for your ex brothers and sisters to see the light. In fact, I honor you for it. You have a duty before God and you do it.

I too speak as the Lord moves - and that set of verses is constantly in my thoughts. Because I am a person who cannot know the mind of another. I judge based on my own thought and not God’s will. He doesn’t often talk back to me directly, but when he does, I do what he says.

Your brethren challenged you to examine your beliefs and you came to Truth. That is both a pleasure and a joy to me, even though you are still a heretic in my book unless you are Catholic - and yes, that was a mild joke in bad taste.

The verse, however, says nothing of judging hypocritically. It simply states, whatever criteria you judge by you will be judged by.

It is one of the most clear and unambiguous verses in the bible.

You will be judged as you judge.
