Since when did the word "unconditional" become so important to the Christian lexicon? It seems to me that Christ was VERY conditional in explaining how God's grace could be obtained, i.e. telling the adulterous woman he saved from stoning "go and sin no more," or the rich man who wanted to be holy "give up everything you possess," or the Pharisees to "do unto others as you would have done to you."

Since when did Christ become 'unconditional'????

I totally agree. Salvation is conditional. It is dependent on one obeying the commands of Christ, and is not a matter of "faith only".
