Why do evangelicals/ fundamentalists purposefully violate God's Commandment?

http://www.usatoday.com/news/religion/2009-08-01-hell-damnation_N.htm?se=yahoorefer

Look at this statement in paragraph 14:
<<"A Southern Baptist Home Mission Board study in 1993 estimated that 70% of all Americans are going to hell">>

This completely blows my mind, that a "Christian" group would release a report telling how many people will go to hell or not. Since when did the Lord give ANYONE the authority to judge another's soul?

I don't understand how this group can justify their actions.
Do these people think they share in God's divine power?
Do they think they are at equal level with Him?
Do they think they are gods themselves?

Whatever way it may be, these evangelicals are in direct violation of what the Lord told us in the First Commandment.
The First Commandment says the following:
-"You Shall Worship the Lord Your God"
-"Him Only Shall You Serve"
-"You Shall Have No Other Gods before Me"
-"You Shall Not Make for Yourself a Graven Image"

By teaching a doctrine in which humans are allowed to take over the divine power of God, evangelicals are placing themselves in the status of "gods". Why, evangelicals, do you do this, when the Lord Himself has explicitly taught against it? Is this on purpose?

Free will and the devil. No one can judge but God.

You equate someones "estimation" with worshiping false gods, interesting and unfathomable reasoning there at the very least.

"By teaching a doctrine in which humans are allowed to take over the divine power of God, evangelicals are placing themselves in the status of "gods".

I find the above rather amusing and ironic, now you equate someones "estimation" with a teaching of doctrine.

And it is the catholic church that has broken the commandments you speak of, and it is the catholic church that has assumed the authority of the divine power of God by changing and or removing elements of Gods Law in the catechisms.

Your brain amazes me. I will hazard an estimation of my own. 50% of your brain cells are functional. I imagine now you will accuse me of teaching a false doctrine in regards to this statement.

In regards to these people's estimation, the Bible says "narrow is the Way, and FEW shall find it". So perhaps 30% is being rather generous to the amount of people that shall enter heaven.

I will "estimate" less than 1% will make it. My estimation is just that, a guess, not a doctrine. I would expect someone with half a brain would know the difference
