think about it?

Have you ever heard the admonition, ‘Don’t even think about it!’? In a climate in which speech is free and there is freedom of conscience regarding thoughts which are private anyhow this seems like a strong position. Yet it is exactly what I say to you about assigning people an eternal destiny. For I command you to say not even in your heart, ‘who shall ascend into heaven, and who shall descend into hell’. If you would follow my general commandment not to judge others this would be a good place to start. For I alone have the authority to assign eternal destinies and I take this exclusive domain seriously. Do and teach all I have commanded and let me worry about the outcome.
