what you're doing's wrong, right?

How do you tell someone you've never met that their lifestyle is unacceptable without coming across as a jerk? The Pharisees were really good at telling people they barely knew that their lifestyles were wrong and damning. I think that is the great Christian dilemma, "here's how your life is wrong, oh and by the way, god loves you."

Is it even possible to be a Christian and fully love everyone?

Even looking at Jesus as the perfect example leaves me with some questions. This guy was the son of G-D, who came to the earth to preach the good news and love the unrighteous, but in a sense he was a jerk to the Pharisees and told them off. How did He do it? Did He do it in such a manner that was kind and inoffensive? I don't think so. Jesus wasn't a pansy, He said things that put the Pharisees foot in their mouths.

I can't seem to find an answer. In my head it's a circular argument. I guess for now I'll just focus on pouring out G-D's love on all who cross my path, and hope that what I'm doing and the way I'm living will lead to changes in other's lives.

Oh G-D, may my life be pleasing to You and You only......
