Mormon Lives Matter

In terms of judgment and the final judgment a better framework is discernment. Judgment is from the Greek word crino. A fuller richer definition would be discernment, differentiation, distinction. So when God first creates the Earth he divides the light and the dark and "judges it as good" that it is good that it is part of divine activity. Discerning between right and wrong is part of our divine mortal activity so we can progress and choose to want to do right. Elder uchtdorf talked about judgement in a very different way where he said the day of judgment will be a day of mercy and healing. In Corinthians Paul says Jesus Will judge us so he need not  condemn us. 1 Cor 11:31 For if we would be more (discerning with ourselves) , we should not be judged.    32 But when we are judged, we are (changed) of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.  Judgment is that process by which we are brought to recognize distinctions and how they have operated in our ...

Then I thought, He DID in the OLD TESTAMENT. With the children of Isreal and their escape from Egypt. Moses even recaps it in Duetermony 4. It's blatantly obvious that there are  huge tactile, visual and nourishing miracles. But people STILL fell away and did the exact opposite. God has done this before has tried this before people have their agency no matter what miracle God performs.
