welcome sinners to come to Christ

That's what is supposed to be happening. What people want is to be made comfortable in their sins.

"What people want is to be made comfortable in their sins. "

We don't see that. We see people come, meet Christ, repent, publicly be baptized to show they want to follow Him. They are sinners, all ages, pierced, tattooed, divorced, etc. They want to know God and be forgiven, have eternal life and follow Him.

... If the Roman church no longer appreciates a Savior accused of being a "friend of sinners", send the sinners to us. We know the Savior who remains a "friend of sinners."

... If the Roman church has forgotten that "Jesus Christ died for the ungodly", send the ungodly to us. We remember.

We will introduce them to Him. They aren't perfect. They won't be perfect until eternity. We will love them and introduce them to Him.

We remember His Great Commission.
