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.
Sister try your emphasis on REPENTANCE.

Again, Jesus didn't hang out with homosexuals who were actively engaging in their perversions. He would of been giving the Pharisees and Sadducees and Herodians way too much ammo to accuse Him. Jesus tells the religious Jews that He is there to convert them. Don't you see that?

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.

When Jesus sat with the Tax Collectors, the most hated and corrupt of their time, they had made no move toward Christ or any kind of Godliness at all. When the father looked out and saw his son returning home, he ran to his son, embraced him and kissed before he knew why his son was returning.

Jesus cares about everyone repentant or not. He even cares about you.

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.
Sister, while we WERE sinners. Again, you chose a scripture that speaks of Jesus siting with publicans to preach and convert them. He wasn't hanging out with active homosexuals engaging in their perversions. Political correctness is sinking this country and popping a cap into the back of the head of Pentecost.

Jesus cares if you repentant, if you don't repent, He doesn't even KNOW you.

And there are many that do wonders in His name that He doesn't know. Of course He cares if we repent (turn), but you're wrong about what you said.

Jesus didn't shy away from giving the Pharisees or Sadducees "ammo", and that is a VERY weak argument anyway.

I don't find any record in scripture where Jesus ever shunned the company of a sinner. Do you have one to share? I'd be happy to read it.

Of COURSE He wanted to call sinners to repentance; Christians should be concerned with the same goal. But saying that He only cares about "repentant sinners?" That's a twist you don't get out of scripture. Christ died for us well in advance of our repentance. He cared for me from the moment I was conceived, (and before) and well in advance of my realization that He existed.

You'll never have the chance to lead a homosexual to Christ if you never talk to one.

Who said He was "engaging in their perversions?????" If He was in the vicinity of an adulteress, was He "engaging in her perversion?" What about around a liar or a thief?

You're not on your game tonight, EB.

WERE sinners, I know that is hard for you to deal with, but the name of the game is change through repentance.

Sorry, Jesus wasn't giving the right hand of fellowship or the kiss of greeting to any male prostitutes.
