LIE: Jesus was ALL about Love and Forgiveness
July 29th 2008 16:24
I have heard countless people in my years suggest that Jesus came for one purpose… to shower us with love and forgiveness for our sins and allow us to do as we please as long as we repent. This is a horrible lie that ignorant people continue to believe and spread throughout weak minded circles of society.
This is what is referred to as taking something out of context to serve an agenda. Homosexuals, pro-abortion advocates, thieves, adulterers, etc. use this as a means to appear to have faith and live a Christian life but have no desire or fortitude to actually behave in such manner. By simply saying, “No, I don’t want to follow God’s word and laws nor do I have to because Jesus forgives me for what ever I do” is both foolish and untrue.
This is a lie according to Jesus Christ Himself. Please open your bibles to Matthew chapter 5.17-20. You see by this text (as with many others) Jesus reinforces the laws of His Father, God. Jesus came back to YES teach about love and forgiveness but ALSO to remind us that we may not have eternal life until we obey God’s commandments and rules.
Here is some more reading to show Jesus fulfilling prophecy by emphasizing and re-teaching about the laws we should be living by and the standards by which we must live in order to go to heaven when we leave this mortal world:
Matthew 5:17-20
Matthew 7: 21

As S.L. state in her comment Jesus told them to go and sin no more. When he healed one he told him to go sin no more less a worser thing come upon you. The woman that was taken in the very act of adultery, he said he didn't condemn her, but go and sin no more.
Sin will take the doer thereof to hell, of that they can be sure of. Every eye shall behold Jesus at the Judgment, but only the pure in heart shall see God.

I will welcome homosexuals with love and acceptance. I will have compassion on a woman seeking abortion. I don't believe it's our job to judge people. People generally need love and forgiveness more than they need judgement.
You are right in that Jesus did tell the adulterous woman to sin no more. But before that, he said he did not condemn her. And why didn't any of the other people tell her to sin no more? Because Jesus said that he who was without sin could throw the first stone. No-one was without sin. There are still none of us that are without sin. I don't believe any of us can throw any stones.
But my focus on love and forgiveness does not give me permission to go out and do what I want to do. I believe very strongly in follow Jesus - not just with a statement of faith, but with my whole heart, trying in every single aspect of life to do the things he would want me to do. I will not always follow him perfectly. None of us do. But we must each look to ourselves to see if we are following him as best as we can.
Some people may criticise me for my acceptance of "sinners". But even Jesus was criticised for hanging out with sinners. When he walked this earth, he was around a whole world of them.

But God sees the heart. God not only knows what we do, he knows why we do it. I believe that some people who say they are Christians will be judged for what you have described here. But only God knows what their heart is really like and so only God can judge that.
