How did Jesus treat the pagans and tax collectors?

Seems to me that He ate and drank with them.

Just like we’re supposed to.

So exactly how does the RCC treat pagans and tax collectors?

Oh, that’s right. Send them to hell.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

"If he won't listen to the church, treat him as a pagan or tax collector."

A pagan is a non-Christian. A tax collector is, well, a tax collector.

That is how Jesus regarded those who would not listen to His Church.

That's what Jesus said.

In the Bible.

So do Protestants really care what the Bible says? Or do they only care about the passages that fit with their agendas?

Perhaps that's why Protestants agree over so little. In fact, the only doctrine that they all agree on is "Sola Scriptura."

And, ironically enough, it's not in the Bible.
