Ellen is not the “woman caught in adultery”. She is the angry, shake your fist at God, self-righteous sinner. She has way more in common with the Pharisees who wanted to shut the kingdom of God to others.

Jesus was never gentle to such.

Agreed- and she is not someone who would seek Jesus out for forgiveness (unless God alone calls her to)- The point of the article i linked to was that Jesus ate with sinners who sought Him out, He didn’t go seeking them just to ‘hang out with them’- IF we, as Christians are going to use the excuse that it’s ok to hang out with sinners because ‘Jesus did’ then we are going to be in their faces giving them the gospel like Jesus did at every turn- and doing so will cause them to either get saved and leave that lifestyle, or cause them to get angry at us and have nothing to do with us-
