Okay. But obviously God allows and exhorts us to form judgments (appraisals of facts) concerning the people, places and things around us, by which we should know how to conduct ourselves.

Obviously, hence why we all have a conscience.

However, conducting ourselves can be done charitably, or uncharitably, both altogether different.

You did mildly misrepresent Lybus, and you do seem agitated by Vladimir, (I would agree, the way you posted does seem like a condemnation, but if you did not mean it as such, I apologize.)

I would say you were uncharitable at least, not attempting to admonish like a loving father, more like a bitter, lonely old man who thinks the world is out to get him. Lybus made a valid statement based on the scripture from the letters of Paul.

But, I mean that in the nicest, least accusatory way possible.

Sorry if I'm rough around the edges. I don't do it to be mean. I love you all as my own soul and I care about your salvation as my own. That's why I tell it straight. I can't think of anything more charitable than to tell the truth, in the hope of converting people to it.

At the same time, anyone who is not a Catholic and is promoting false positions and doctrines is evil, because they are leading souls away from heaven and into hell. They must be admonished firmly. Loving fathers must use the rod sometimes.

Proverbs 13:24: "He that spareth the rod hateth his son: but he that loveth him correcteth him betimes."

Regards,
David.
