If ALL professed Christians focused on that one simple phrase the numerous doctrines that have developed from the various interpretations of the gospels would not be leading folks like those from the Westboro Baptist Church to preach and act out of hatred.
BrownDog,

First - That was very moving; the highest compliment I've been paid in years, and I certainly wasn't seeking or expecting that. I'm really moved; thank you.

That is my mantra that I preach. I teach youth every Wednesday night at a small Baptist church, and I happen to live in an area where the likes of the KKK are thick. I preach that mantra because, as you said, it is the essence of Christianity. Our job is to love, judgement is God's job, and thank God it's God's job, because (obviously) humans really aren't capable of getting that one right.

Again, thank you so much for the compliment; that 100% made my day.
