A Plea to All Christians

[Benton]

Quote:Remember, one of the commandments given to us by Jesus was to evangelize (the Great Commission). We cannot do that effectively if we're pushing away the very people who need Jesus.

And that's been my issue for a long time. I get the mantra of "hate the sin, love the sinner" but you can't love someone and make it conditional (you have to be perfect) at the same time. If Jesus had done that — had demanded we be perfect, not a desire to be perfect — then it would be a whole different issue.
