You're presupposing that you're the expert and final arbitrator of God's own warnings. You're presupposing that you have it all figured out. And... as a result... you're going to face the same measure of judgment. In other words, if you're going to be so narrow in your judgment... you better have it all together, exact, on point, no error. Absolute perfection in theology... when you stand before Him.
You see... God is just. The measure with which we measure is the measure we must meet. Some Apostolics you might judge as being loose goose... will enter in on account of having been merciful and loving beyond measure. Many who were so strict in their judgment based on their own human presuppositions of interpretation will be cast out... because they weren't as exact in their theology as they demanded of others.
It is one thing to believe that this narrow path is God's will, walk in it, and teach it. It is entirely another to play God and judge others by it.
It is also dangerous to deny God's sovereignty. Whatever God wills... is just. Even if it seemingly breaks all the rules...
as we might know them.
Give room for error in your own walk. Come at things as one who "believes"... not as one who arrogantly "knows", when in truth... you don't.
Because if you demand absolute perfection of others... it will be demanded of you.
