Have you read lately what Jesus said to the Pharisees? They weren't words of love.

It's interesting that you brought up the Pharisees, I have wanted to do that several times on this thread myself but kept refraining. Wasn't Jesus' unhappiness with the Pharisees due to their judging sinners out of pious self-righteousness and not out of mercy, love and humility?

You think Jesus would have condoned sexual immorality?

He condemned all sins, but gave the message of repentance and love. He never told anyone that they were okay as they were.

No. The Pharisees made up man rules to follow and ignored God's rules for one thing. They also refused to support their parents in their old age claiming that they couldn't because the money was dedicated to God. They used God but were not used by God. That was where Jesus anger with them came from.

The Pharisees used the law for their own ends. God had nothing to do with it.

And preaching morality has nothing to do with Pharisees. Nor being hypocritical.

I asked you before and you had no answer. So answer now. From Post 412: Do you think that ignoring immorality is real love? It is not. Immorality kills people. Their souls and their bodies. This story is proof of that.
