I propose you read more closely how Christ was so confrontational to religious hypocrisy. He went straight for the heart of the matter and didn't play PC or nice. Look at how he handled the Sanhedrin, Pharisees and Saduccees. He called the religious leaders out. He called them names, whitewashed tombs.
The rich young ruler He told him to sell ALL he had to follow HIM. You would say that was wrong as it turned him away. Yet Jesus went straight to his heart. He knew what stood between him and what it really took to be a follower of HIMSELF. He was kind to those sinners but never PC. He ate with sinners. Yet HE called it like it was. See in today's world of seeker friendly Jesus wouldn't be any more accepted than He was then. People need to read ALL of His stories and how HE handled all of the people. It sure didn't fit what the nice PC people would today and how they judge others that practice Jesus same methods of confrontation on the real issues of what it truly takes to be His follower. 100% total devotion w/o compromise of any kind in any way. To follow Him will cause as HE promised division among families friends etc. He said, "Count the cost!" It is a high cost. Sadly too few churches today preach the Gospel Jesus taught. He is the ONLY way! Narrow minded or however the PC world wants to phrase it. It isn't one of compromise and PC gentleness etc. It is wide to Hell and very narrow to Heaven and Jesus way. John 14:6
What profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul? Mark 8:36
Don't forget JESUS TWICE got physical and threw the temple into disarray by throwing the money changers out of the temple because they had made the Temple, church, not the place of what is was suppose to be. Not exactly PC was it.
If we as His children don't tell the truth of Jesus Gospel then I am doing badly for Christ. IF a friend or child is going a way that will kill them and I speak nice and gentle and am afraid to tell the truth and afraid to hurt their feelings then I am doing them a disservice and don't really love or care for them. I'm more afraid of hurting their feelings than saving them from their consequences of choices they are making. That is NOT true love or caring!
If someone didn't tell you the truth but knew it. Yet, didn't tell you as afraid to upset you due to PC. How much love is he really showing you by being more worried about your reaction that your ultimate life? Esp if they have tried to get your attention other ways before but you continue to ignore them. You tell me what is the best way to show true love to you as their friend to you? PC or truth?
Jesus, being perfect, did what was best. He was confrontational when needed and wasn't worried about being liked or PC. He was worried they got the truth more than anything else.
I do that and I do it with evol and your compromise on Jesus and theistic evol and Jesus as creator God too!
Its because I care more for you than if you like me or me being PC.
ETERNITY IS TOO LONG TO BE WRONG!
I will do another evol thread for food for thought.
