This raised concerns among the Jewish religious leaders and experts of the law. Indignant, they grumbled and complained, saying, “Look at how this man associates with all these notorious sinners and welcomes them all to come to him!”
-Luke 15:2, TPT
Funny how cheaters and their apologists will appeal to “Christian” ideals when it serves them.
As soon as you point out their need to repent, they try to change the subject or start calling you names. They claim such a request is a demand and you’re abusive for suggesting such a thing. The person their defending is a lying cheater…
…but YOU are the “bad” Christian in all of this!
One of the biggest gifts of my experience with my cheater and her apologists was growing up towards recognizing religious manipulators. I am no longer naive about these sort of people. Their manipulations have lost their power as I have learned to ignore their opinions or otherwise see them as they are.
If they want to call me a “bad” Christian, I am fine with that. I would hate to be a “good” Christian according to their clearly compromised standards!
