This is the thing that we need to continually communicate to the unsaved world. Certain things please Jesus and other things do not. As serious Bible scholars, we are the ones trained to make those distinctions.
As flagrantly sinful as the world is today, the person of Jesus still enjoys a particular prestige. People who barely know the Bible talk about His work and try to align themselves with Him in order to "score points" in public discourse. Our Pastors here at
know Jesus to a degree that the rest of the world does not. We need to engage and win every discussion that tries to evoke His name.
If we can put people on the spot and accuse them of going against Jesus, our victory is assured. Even people who hate Jesus don't want to be accused of going against Jesus. I think that's iconic, or something like that.
