Default Re: Can you dismiss WL's ministry because of his sins?

Judge has several meanings. Obviously when Jesus praised the church in Ephesus which had "put to the test" or "tried" those who call themselves apostles He was implying they had performed a kind of judgment.

We cannot dispense the final judgment on anyone. But to make any decision one renders a judgment in the broad sense.

I cannot judge anyone's heart as the Lord can. But I do have the right and even responsibility to decide whether I think someone is teaching truth.

I cannot judge Lee as a man, but I can come to some conclusion about his quality as a teacher and leader. Whether one calls that "judgment" or not is secondary. The fact is it does and must happen.
