Did you hear about the Catholic Cardinal that was asked one day to double check the translation of the Bible and make sure it was all right!

They found him sitting in the floor crying. His superior asked him what was wrong.... did he find something in the translation that was incorrect.

Oh YES, YES! He cried out! It was "celebrate" not "celibate!" lol

INcorrect.

Matthew 9:10-13

And it came to pass, as Jesus sat at meat in the house, behold, many publicans and sinners came and sat down with him and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Miss Brat, there are many things I see in the Christian world that make me rant and rave, some things that sadden me, and then occasionally things that make me angry. But when I read something like EB wrote, it breaks my heart. It really does hurt. What happened to the picture of Jesus who looked out over the city and wept, who was moved with compassion because they wondered as sheep having no shepherd? Do we even know that Jesus?

God help us.

Evang. B. You never cease to amaze me at your lack of wisdom. Not to mention your lack of mercy and grace.

Wasn't it repentant adulterers Jesus was around, and liar who gave up lying, and thieves who asked for forgiveness. Jesus was accused of fraternizing with the malcontents of society, yet that wasn't what He was involved in. When Mary washed his feet with her tears and dried them with her long uncut hair, it was done through a repentant heart. Jesus was pure and blameless concerning His culture, and couldn't have been hanging out with homosexuals. If He had hung out with active homosexuals who were totally involved with their perversions He would of had more problems then He could handle from the religious of His time.

Does Jesus care about sinners? Of course He does, repentant ones.

In Jesus name

Wow. I'm shocked at the whitewashing and spinning in this post.

Jesus ate with publicans and sinners. It did not specify what types of sinners they were. Sorry. And they weren't called "repentant" sinners at that point.

Jesus only cares about repentant sinners?

Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

Christ died for us (presumably because He cared for us) while we were YET [still] sinners.

I will never stop loving, accepting, embracing, and befriending people. I love people and do my very best to view everyone, including you, through the eyes of Jesus. Occasionally I fail and once again kneel at the foot of the cross and ask God to give me His heart for those that are disenfranchised, hurt, disconnected, or in need of the grace of Christ, regardless of their history, past, successes or failures.
