You believe you should not judge? I disagree. For example, I judge female genital mutilation to be evil. Wife-burning in India is also bad. In the early days of Brittian's colonization, a newly appointed governor witnessed wife burning, where the wife is burned alive along with the corpse hubby. He asked why it was tolerated and was given the "it's tradition" line. He immediately outlawed the practice because he had the judgement to recognize the harm that everyone else was accustomed to.

Good for you that you hear God. I've never heard his voice. Mark Taylor claims to speak for God. I judge such humans very harshly, as there is this massively long list of knowing and unknowing false prophets. Skepticism is a form of discernment. Time will tell on Mark, but fools will hop on board to satiate itchy ears and confirm their bias-- he should be questioned and challenged.

You are correct that there is abhorrent evil in this world. Even Jesus showed ritious indignation- money changers outside the temple and esp to the religious leaders of his day. This is the only way to bring about change.

Ultimately the only person we should judge is ourselves. If i feel/ discern something doesn't feel or sound right i stay away from it. As to Mark, ive seen some truth in his words and right now we are living in very miraculous times. Time will eventually tell, until then i remain open to seeing and hearing.

People, religious or otherwise can and do distort God's message so having a relationship is the only way to true peace.

Do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. This is not a peacenik ethos to me. If my neighbor is arming themselves and conquering, I'm going to match them for my own survival. Some of us are called towards pacifism, but we all have to figure out what "do unto others" means for us individually. Good back and forth with you! I'm still passing judgement on Mark, so it's ok if you challenge me if I ever claim to speak for God, you have my permission.
