These are the people God loves and for whom He died. Remember, He came to heal the sick, not those who think they are well in their own self-righteousness.
Bashing sinners for their sins is a fruitless pursuit. Christ did not come to Judge but to save.
It is one thing to expose the errors of philosophies and religous systems that teach against Christ and hold men in bondage, but it is wrong to attempt to preach the Gospel by preaching against sin.
Every sinner already knows the dark and deadening effect of sin. They need the light and life of Christs' love.
Jesus has already destroyed the strength of sin through His Crucifixion and Resurrection. Sin is no longer the problem. What men need is Jesus Crucified for their liberation and Jesus Raised from the dead for their Justification.
Also, Jesus does not need defenders of the faith as in the classifical perversion of Rome and Constantinople, but doers of the faith.

Jesus loves sinners, so rejoice that He has sent so many of His beloved to this thread. The question is, will they find Christians on this thread that will make them desire Christ ?
