"Jesus was friendly to all seekers."

But he was not accommodating to all seekers. He never conformed to the world to obtain its allegiance.

Yep. That’s why I said they, and he, didn’t put up with nonsense.

Thing is, we shouldn’t conform to the world but, at the same time, should not expect the world to listen to a single word we say when we have nothing to offer but a miserable church experience that is completely out of touch with their culture. Jesus and the apostles worked within the culture of the day, as long as it didn’t violate God’s and our holiness (separateness).
