Re: Help a Young Member Out

...We see in the bible that Jesus spends a lot of time with the lepers, prostitutes, and sinners so that they could be saved...

Wasn't He telling them to STOP being lepers, prostitutes, and sinners?

John 8:11 "She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."

...Yet any sinners today are seeming ignored by Christians and not given the chance to be shown His love...

Can you find a sinner on these boards who has not been told to stop sinning? Who is being ignored? Rebukes are handed out quite freely, from what I've seen.

Maybe, I am confusing and misinterpreting some of the threads I have read here, but isn't the kingdom of heaven open to anyone who can come to god and find Jesus Christ? I mean, I feel like there is a lot of hate for people who need to be shown the love of Jesus Christ. We see in the bible that Jesus spends a lot of time with the lepers, prostitutes, and sinners so that they could be saved. Yet any sinners today are seeming ignored by Christians and not given the chance to be shown his love. Maybe I have misinterpreted things, but what's your guys' takes?
