Jesus wasn't sent to condemn the world he was sent to save it

I kind of knew that all along like the last 50 years.

But it just hit me as a pretty important sticky bullet point.

So does that mean nobody can take offense at Jesus he wasn't saying here to condemn anyone.

a new light for the world in general.

I'm not sure how to go tell the world all this couldn't ride long enough billboards so I brought it here before you

See what an 80s reaction is we're talkin about Jesus here.

Did you know that if you talk to Jesus he will talk back

Oh yeah one more interesting note about Jesus he will make you look good even when you've done something lazy

Yes, it says:

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.

But keep reading, friend...

Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And [I]this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.

One does not expend effort to save that which is already saved. Jesus' mission was to provide a means of rescue to that which was already lost and condemned.

One is condemned by one's own choice to follow the path that leads to commendation. Mankind's love of evil and darkness over goodness and light results in his judgment and commendation, God's son having to do nothing to effectuate that, but having nonetheless the responsibility of being the arbitrator of that final judgment as God's incarnate Word and the manifestation and witness of God's holiness and righteousness to a world home astray.

Do not discount God's patience and mercy as overlooking sin. Mercy and grace are necessitated for us by the very fact that there is justice and judgment and resulting commendation.

Without doubt the first time.

But the second time nothing could be further from the truth.

I think I'll stick with Prometheus, he saved me 800 years before Jesus was born...

Lo! streaming from the fatal tree
His all atoning blood,
Is this the Infinite?—Yes, ’tis he,
Prometheus, and a god!
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And veil his glories in,
When God, the great Prometheus, died
For man the creature’s sin.

No luck needed. I have faith in my redeemer.

That was at his first coming. But at his second coming look out he will be coming to judge and condemn. He will wipe out the armies of the world that will gather around Jerusalem with the sword of his mouth and wipe them out. To say he wont is to not believe the scriptures that clearly and plainly say so.

I think the difference is the idea of condemning a person for acting like a filthy scumbag vs condemning a person as in denying a person grave in the ultimate judgement.

I would love if one of his first stops was the equivalent when he shows up any time now. The money changers in the temple story was one condemning people who see the church as an acceptable thing to exploit by profiting off of a sacred temple where God once "resided" and in theory now, though God no longer inhabits the tabernacle or temple in the HOH, its symbolic of it and it is a place that simply isn't meant to be treated like any other marketplace...especially if what you market is sold as something which facilitates a person connecting with God or is needed to worship the "right way."

That means a hot flaming sword would sever the man or woman from the nose holes in their mugs for today's money changers like Joel Olstein aka homosexual², Joyce Meyer Balogne, Benny Cock...sorry Benny Hen, Creepo Dollar Worshiper, David TayPay, and Kenneth L Cope-in-Hell-land (or he'll suffer and be in agony...dont care really, it doesn't get more wicked or satanic than these few people unless we go back in time, then you got people like King James whose evil makes these aforementioned guys look like haloed, winged harpists in togas in comparison. Man do they deserve the worst possible fate, or what?
