Charity in Judgment: Embracing Different Perspectives

Lesson Transcript

But if you want to be judged harshly, yeah, just go around condemning everybody else. And that's what I'm saying: is everyone gone mad? I mean, I can't believe that you would just call somebody a heretic who lived right after the apostles because they believe different than you when they've got strong scriptural support. I mean, maybe they're misinterpreting the scriptures, but I mean, can we be charitable towards people? I got several compliments this week from people.

What they—and I felt a little guilty because what they didn't realize: I wasn't being so so much generous to those people. I mean, perhaps I was, but I was being generous to David Bercell because, hey, I want to get judged leniently. So I'm going to judge everyone else leniently too. I mean, I mean, like like I say, are people crazy?

I mean, Jesus has told us, "You get to pick how you're going to be judged on Judgment Day."
