That mostly describes my 17-year-old daughter. She is not amoral. She has a personal relationship with Christ. She simply believes in free will and therefore doesn't condemn others. She will witness to others, but she leaves judgment to the Lord.

That will change when she starts filing income tax returns...lol.

My 26 YO daughter thinks I'm a lot smarter today than when she was 18.

Well, it depends on what you mean by “condemn.” We have an obligation to judge behavior. As the Bible says, “I have made you a watchtower over the people of Israel. If you do not warn a wicked man of his wicked ways, you will be condemned also.” The only way in which we’re called to refrain from judging is in predicting a person’s final destination.

To be frank, it sounds like your daughter has gotten caught up in modernism. For one thing, our relationship with Jesus isn’t merely “personal” because He is the embodiment of absolute truth, which is, of course, absolute. In other words, we’re dealing with objective reality here, not just subjective.
