Friends,

    1)Jesus spoke kindly and openly to a woman of a different nation and religion and culture. You all are name-calling and you supposedly have this group in common. Stop that.

    2)Jesus spent His life reaching out to those whose lives and choices weren't always the best ones... the Christians out here seem to be pre-occupied with quoting Scripture and, as He said, "neglecting the weightier matters... justice, mercy, good faith." So stop that, too.

    3) The Bible is the record of God's love for man, and the pronouncement of judgment on those who reject that love; salvation is for those who believe in the One God sent and persevere in well-doing, not losing heart, not rendering evil for evil but always being the most humble examples of Christ-likeness. I hear you Christians trumpeting about how right you are. Stop that, too.

    The Christ I serve is the One, though blameless and sinless, died a sinner's guilty death and never even cursed those who killed Him. You can't even bear to converse without slamming one another. Stop that.

    The Bible says to exhort and rebuke with all patience and long-suffering so that our brethren can learn to be more like Jesus. Fellow Christians, consider yourselves rebuked in love for the sake of our precious Master. I love you.
