Love God above everything
Love other people as much as you love yourself
Love other members of the Church and be prepared to die for them
Love your enemies (those that hate, insult, despise you), returning good for evil
Forgive everyone everything (that is, if you want everything forgiven)
Show mercy to the homeless, the hungry, the poor, the prisoner, the sick, the elderly, the outxast......
Do not judge non-believers - that is God's job
Do not judge people weaker in faith
Do not judge people who express their genuine faith differently to you - it is up to God whether or not they succeed
Do not judge yourself - God will let you know if you slip up.
Let no-one judge you according to meat or drink, religious festivals or sabbaths.
Judge only those that claim to be Christians but are immoral. in which case do not even eat with them

Here are the references in sequence. People seem to be hung up about the judgement thing. I find only 2 situations where we can judge. One is in settling disputes, the other is when there is an immoral person in the church. Judge no-one still expresses what Jesus taught, but I cannot ignore the other verses.
MARK 12:29-30
MARK 12:31
JOHN 13:33-35
LUKE 6:26
LUKE 6:37
MATTHEW 18:33, MATTHEW 25:34-36
1 CORINTHIANS 5:11-13
ROMANS 14:1-4
ROMANS 14
1 CORINTHIANS 4:2-4
COLOSSIANS 2:16-18
1 CORINTHIANS 5:11-13

The situation that gave rise to judging an immoral believer is one of the reasons Paul wrote 1 Corinthians. A man was sleeping with his fathers wife.

Not a question of stop being human. The stabdard is high and we cannot reach it. That is why Jesus came, to deal with the times when we fail. the Holy Spirit changes us to make this kind of living possible. Though it can take a very long time to get there.

No objections as to the title, but your article could use a bit of editing, which this once I'll offer free of charge, brought before you.
Loathe God above everything else. Love other people almost as much as you love yourself. Despise all members of any Church and be expecting them to die for you. Love your enemies (those that say they love, praise, but stab you in the back) and make sure karma comes back to haunt them. Forgive no one everything (that is, everyone has his/her faults except maybe your self)
Show mercy to the homeless, the hungry, the poor, the prisoner, the sick, the elderly, the outcast. Do not judge believers - they're not worth the time or effort, just try to ignore them. Do not judge people weaker in mental prowess. Do however judge people who express faith - it is not up to God whether they go to hell, be there to point them in the right direction. Cliffs and railroad tracks for example. Do not judge yourself - a Mancunian lass will let you know when you slip up. Let no-one judge you according to meat or drink, Edinburgh festivals or drunken orgies. Judge swiftly those that claim to be Christians, as what they lack in brain matter they don't make up for in morals. You might consider eating them, some go well with fava beans and a nice chianti.

Duplicitous monotheists..Thor is Good...He is Love..He forgives and shows Mercy..when will you stop setting ? Yourself up as His judge? Someday you will require His Mercy and I pray for you on that day..i am sincere and not being facetious...i don't know how you minds got so twisted but I DO ask God to show you Mercy.

To make these a general statement. yes, I have a real problem with it. If you want to put verses with this out of the KJV, we can talk about it.
You are preaching 1/2 misleading suggestions my friend.
You appear to have a real hang up with judgment. Do you even know what "Judge" means and how many times it is spoken?
Do you know what love is? How many times in what forms? By looking at what you posted, you must think there is one love. You use it in the correct sense it is given, Maybe you and I can play in the same sandbox.
.
.BTW: The Charismatic movement really doesn't impress me. in fact, I have no use for it. Eph: ONE FAITH..ONE BAPTISM..ONE BODY..ONE SPIRIT..ONE GOSPEL..ONE CHURCH..ONE TRUTH..
Have a nice week.

Agree with most of what yu say except that practically you do have to judge others in some form or the other but you should not prejudge others. Therefore you have to collect your facts before judging. Also I do not think it right to give special treatment to one group - Christians - above another.

The regurgitation of the Christian brainwashing does raise objections as it contributes to why society has not developed to it’s potential over the past 2000 years. By people being brainwashed into following such dogma we have failed to deal with real issues. Yes their needs to be moral and ethical codes – that doesn’t extend to loving or forgiving murders of innocents! It’s so sad to see your minority religions pushing an agenda, which puts your ideals above the good of humanity as a whole.

Before the universe was born
there was something in the chaos of the heavens.
It stands alone and empty,
solitary and unchanging.
It is ever present and secure.
It may be regarded as the Mother of the universe.
Because I do not know it's name,
I call it the Tao.
If forced to give it a name,
I would call it 'Great'.
Because it is Great means it is everywhere.
Being everywhere means it is eternal.
Being eternal means everything returns to it.
Tao is great.
Heaven is great.
Earth is great.
Humanity is great.
Within the universe, these are the four great things.
Humanity follows the earth.
Earth follows Heaven.
Heaven follows the Tao.
The Tao follows only itself.

This sounds like a plan to control human mind!
If you have seen the movie "The Island"
Those clones are just like religious people. They believe in the island!
In realistic, the God is the people who made the clones!
Please watch the movie "The Island"

Objections.
Who are Christians to judge another Christians "immoral" and not eat with them? Who are Christians to think themselves highly and put themselves greater and more deserving of God's grace than non-believers?
Just who do they think they are?
They ain't no God.
