I hope you intend to lead us by example in this area.

Any discussion that does not include judgment would be a poor discussion, 
just plain boring too.  We must make judgments and then put forth the proper 
reasoning to support those judgments.  What do you mean by "Judgmentalism"? 
Do you really mean prejudice?
No, I mean judgmentalism, not judgment or prejudice.   In the context of my remark,  I think 
"judgmentalism"  has an obvious meaning.

If this were true, then Jesus Christ would not have been capable of 
intelligent discussion!  What other human's counsel was he convinced that he 
needed?
What Christ, the Creator of truth, does to arrive at truth is not the issue here.   Take Christ 
out of your argument and make your point.   The simple fact that we need teachers and evangelists 
proves my point.   As is the case in many of the posts on TT, true discussion is absent, replaced
with nothing more than passionate monologue.  

Peace be with you.
