Who have I passed judgment on personally? I've been personally judged by others on this thread and on another, but I have not judged (condemned) anyone personally. I have generally condemned the behavior and spirit of many Christians in the times in which we are living, as the Bible itself does, and warned of God's forthcoming judgment on Christians who are in rebellion against Him and who refuse to repent, which the Bible also does. A rebuke does not rest where it is not deserved, and I do not know who it applies to personally here. It is a general warning.
Either what I have said is true or it isn't. If you're convinced that it isn't, why not go your way? If it is true and applicable to you, do whatever you need to do about it. If you're not sure whether it is or whether it isn't, take it to the Lord with clean hands and a good conscience toward Him and ask Him to show you. What's the problem?
You called yourself (and other people on this thread) "rebels", a judgment I never made of you or of anyone else. I certainly hope that that isn't true, and I don't know the Lord's judgment of you personally. Hopefully you know it for yourself.
If the things I've been saying on this thread don't apply to you, don't worry about them. If they do, do something about it. I don't need to know whether they do or whether they don't.
If your conscience toward God truly is clear and you're doing everything you know He wants you to do and have peace with Him, there's no reason to take issue with what I've been saying, which agrees with the things that the Scriptures themselves say about the condition of the majority of saints in the last days.
(You can refer to the questions I asked PennEd in my last post.)
As for acting as though I know everyone on this thread or me thinking that I know everything, that is your opinion, impression, and assumption, which you are entitled to, but it is not true.
(And "Judge not lest ye be judged" concerns hypocrisy, not making certain kinds of judgments about other people, which is appropriate to do in some cases. The Bible teaches us to make judgments about people for various reasons, but not to be hypocrites, or to condemn when it is not in our authority to do so.)

so, as long as you understand that you are not sinless, and have no moral high ground to stand on to shout down to anyone, then that is fine. as long as you understand and agree with this. do you?
