Yes. I don't think God will judge Yoder based on the yardstick he used to judge others. In Yoder's case, I think it will be based on God's moral standard.

The old woodcutter spoke again. “It is impossible to talk with you. You always draw conclusions. Life is so vast, yet you judge all of life with one page or one word. You see only a fragment. Unless you know the whole story, how can you judge?"

I avoid quoting anyone by name in public speaking - anyone who professed faith and relationship with Christ but is not known to have repented of their sin. I used to quote Ravi Zacharias publicly. I no longer do.
