So, please stop with the arguments.

I can sense one of my own with you, friend. I have tried to tell them this, but they keep coming up with Scriptures that support judgment. I keep telling them that Luke 6 is a wonderful example of Christ's sweet love.
They keep saying that it only applies to hypocritical judgment as per Per Luke 6:42.
I bring up that all judgment is hypocritical (Romans 3:23), but they counter with 1 John:3:6, 9. Surely, there are no contradictions in the Scriptures?
It would take a mental contortionist to believe that there are!
Maybe you could talk some sense into them for me.

Meh, this is the same set of moldy tomes (Old Testament) that say to not eat shrimp or bacon. It also instructs when you are conquering with your army to kill all the men, children and women who have
known man. You get to keep the virgins for yourself.
Are you saying our kind and benevolent LORD is anything but love? What's with the hateth?
Your friend in Jesus' Holy Name,
