Jesus Christ in his time on eart hung out with the tax collectors, prostitutes and other assorted "dodgy" people of the times. While he never indulged or condoned their activities. He spent more time with these people than the pharisees and other religous leaders of the time. From what a person can read in the scriptures, it seems that he had very little time for these people.

Phillip Yancey in his book, " ,whats so amazing about Grace" tells a story about a prostitute, with a less than sterling past who was asked about going to church. Her comment said voulmes, "Church!, Why would I want to go there, I already feel bad enough about myself". The christian church, somewhere along the way, it seems has lost or at least strongly diluted the message of Gods grace.

Hard line christians who are protesting things like the civil unions and the prostitution law reform bill, critisise other christians for being too accepting and tolerant of the things that are(morally), taking our society down the toilet. they cite passages from the bible that support their stance.
The other group feel that is is important to be tolerant and respectful other peoples perspectives in order to not alienate people from being receptive to the gospel message, "Judge not least yea be judged', is a favourite scripture of this group.

Jesus Christ I believe would be someqwhere in the middle of these two groups. Througout the bible, he is seen to cause chaos, as he rails at the money changers and stall holders, "who have turned his fathers house into a den of robbers" (Mathew 21:13). He regulalry accuses the pharisees, of being hypocrites. Yet when he meets the samritan woman at the well (John 4)he takes time to talk to the woman. Before He points out that the man the woman is living with, is not her husband.

Telling someone that their way of life is a sin against God (while it maybe), usually all it does is offend, and alienate that person further from the grace that Christ offers. Yet if the same christian took the time to get along side the people he/she is trying to communicate with and form an aquaintance, or friendship, they are more likely to be able to speak biblical truth into the life of the non christian. And for that non christian to recieve it, listen to it, act on it, rather than seeing it as the ravings of a judgemental religous nut and rejecting the christian and running further away from the Gods message of grace

IN short, thats what being a christian is about, if it were not for the grace of God, none of us would be here
