I have heard many "Orthodox Christians say the Bible damns you to hell for calling someone a fool, sooo...

Really? I bet I've interacted with a lot more "Orthodox" Christians than you have and I honestly don't remember one person saying anything like this. Since when did calling someone a "fool" become the unforgiveable sin?

Matthew 5 is a warning about our attitudes. It states the person is "in danger of hell fire". A warning not a prohibition. It can't be a prohibition since Paul and Peter both call people fools and Jesus Himself called people fools in Matthew 23:17,19. Many of the OT prophets called people fools. The point seems to be to call someone a fool without grounds. Frankly, most of your exegesis of Bible verses leaves you vulnerable to that charge.

As someone else pointed out, this seems to be dealing with intra-church relations, the community of believers. I know that you dislike this conclusion but Mormons are not part of that group.

I know that you dislike this conclusion but Mormons are not part of that group.

I know that you dislike applying logic to this, but only Jesus Christ can decide who is his and who is not. If a man claims to follow Jesus, and changes his life to be in keeping with the dictates of his conscience and his interpretation of the Bible, who are you to judge him?

I flatly reject your assertion that you are my Judge, Jesus is my judge and he has already called me his. I will point out that acting as if one is Christ and judging others is a mark of not only apostasy, but of the Antichrist, I would warn all who feel so inclined to beware and be careful.

God bless
