Basic questions:
Didn't Jesus have followers who were prostitutes and tax collectors? When asked why he would minister to such "scum", Jesus responded to his critics by comparing them to the sick who needed a doctor?
Wasn't Jesus aware of the sinful and fallen nature of humans yet still allow them process of TRYING to reconcile their ways with God's law?
Didn't St. Paul note that even if people have fallen away from God or didn't even know God at all, they can still attain Divine Grace by being judged with the "law written upon their hearts"?
Wasn't Jesus' ministry based on examples upon examples of the forgiving nature of God? The prodigal son? The shifty tax collector?
Ultimately, didn't Jesus say to those who sought strict obedience of the letter of the law [but not its spirit] that God's kingdom was like the Master who hired servants to work his field during differing parts of the day. When confronted by servants who worked the longest and hardest why EVERYONE GOT PAID THE SAME, that Jesus essentially said "God's notion of fairness and equity is different from Humans' "?
Just some questions that come to mind.
