Do you consider the advice of Gamaliel?
At Acts 5:35-39:
: “Men of Israel, pay attention to yourselves as to what you intend to do respecting these men. 36 For instance, before these days Theu´das rose, saying he himself was somebody, and a number of men, about four hundred, joined his party. But he was done away with, and all those who were obeying him were dispersed and came to nothing. 37 After him Judas the Gal·i·le´an rose in the days of the registration, and he drew off people after him. And yet that man perished, and all those who were obeying him were scattered abroad. 38 And so, under the present circumstances, I say to you, Do not meddle with these men, but let them alone; (because, if this scheme or this work is from men, it will be overthrown; 39 but if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them;) otherwise, you may perhaps be found fighters actually against God.”
Is it not wiser to let God weed out false teachers than for us to judge?

I think this scipture you point out is right to the point.
When one group claiming to be Christian tells outright lies about another group, they are actually following the footstep of Satan.
Wheras if what they are saying is true that is another thing.
What it really boils down to is faith. Faith that God will do away with all the liars like he said he would in REvelaton.

I hope many people get the point of your reference. It gets tiresome the way so called Christians slam those that do not hold to their particular sect.

Don’t listen to me for I am a mere man but Jesus on the other hand is and was perfect for he is the Son of God so let’s see what he has to say about this matter


Matthew 7:22-23 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out demons? and in your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, you that work iniquity.

So every one who thinks there doing Christ works will be told ya or nay as to weather they are or not.

But is it our job to judge them is the next question?

Matthew 7:1-2 Judge not, that you be not judged. For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you measure, it shall be measured to you again.

Acts 17:31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.

So Jesus says not to judge God has set aside a day for this.

Revelation 19:11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

So let us not worry about if one religion is doing wrong or doing better deeds than another but focus on doing God’s will and his work and see how much more he will be pleased with you, for no where in the Bible did it say this religion is the chosen one for we do not want to be in a good religion that is accommodating for us or convenient but we need to strive to have a relationship with our savior Jesus Christ and to do all that he has came to earth and taught us and if I may add one more very important scripture here it is

Exodus 20:16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

God Bless
