Q: Do you guys suppose the Pharisees *recognized* how far off base they were from God's heart?

[quote:Anonymous Coward 16030182:MV8xODY0MzAxXzMxMTU0MjUxX0Q2NEMyRTBD] [quote:Anonymous Coward 8788578:MV8xODY0MzAxXzMxMTI5NDkyX0E3Mzc0OEM1] [quote:Anonymous Coward 502821:MV8xODY0MzAxXzMxMTI5MzY3XzU1OEFCNjAw] I feel there is a difference from what Christ spoke about back then, and what the Pharisees (and their scribes) spoke about, even to today. [/quote] Agreed. Even apart from doctrinal stances, consider Jesus' actions and words to the outcasts of society. . .to the woman at the well, and to the woman taken in the act of adultery He said [i]not one word[/i] about judgment or even repentance. With the one, he asked for a drink and was soon discussing the nature of [i]worship[/i], and to the other He said "I don't condemn you - go and sin no more." If we aren't exhibiting this same grace to others, are we actually [u]following[/u] Jesus? If we aren't forgiving our enemies, are we really following Him? This is vital stuff, folks. [/quote] Too true. Chriastians are..for the MOST part.. Those who think they are TOO GOOD to actually LOVE people...but think they have the right to spout their arrogance and fear on all those who see their hypocrisy for what it is. All we hear is words..judgmment..verses copy pasted in some ravenous campaign to condemn and belittle..to kill off the hope of the dying..to make sure those who are looking NEVER find..and then condemn them for never finding..telling them..in a LOT of case with "LOL's" after the statment.."WELL..if you dont repent God is going to burn you in hell" How is THAT supposed to reach anyone? In case you have not noticed it only pushes people away. Youi claim to represnt the most loving selfless being in the universe.. But every post.,every word..every threat and every snide condemning comment..only prove to one and all you work for the most EVIL being in the univers. Its a FRUITS thing last I heard. So SHUT UP..and start LOVING people..perhaps you might actually find Jesus yourself one day IF YOU DO. There was a thread on here a few days ago..someone apolagised on behalf of christians for them being so arrogant.. And just about every christian on here turned up at her thread to prove she was right. It turned into a doctrine fight..a pride fest..a selfish loathesome mellee of "MY god is better than YOUR god..and if you dare say christians are cruel and arrogant god will burn you in hell" [/quote]
Original Message
They thought they were spot on, and couldn't conceive the notion that they might be completely wrong in both their beliefs and practice.
They didn't know God's heart, and they missed entire the point
.
Jesus came along, and He was nothing like they expected God to be. He sincerely cared about even the "least important" people in society.
Maybe we'd do well to stop and assess
ourselves
so as to avoid such hard-hearted religious error, yes?
