“Then I read that Jesus was a friend of sinners. This still bothers me. Not because Jesus was a friend of sinners (because that came in really handy in my case). It bothered me because if I'm trying to live like Jesus, that means I'm supposed to be a friend of sinners too.”

“Having spent time around "sinners" and also around purported saints, I have a hunch why Jesus spent so much time with the former group: I think he preferred their company. Because the sinners were honest about themselves and had no pretense, Jesus could deal with them. In contrast, the saints put on airs, judged him, and sought to catch him in a moral trap. In the end it was the saints, not the sinners, who arrested Jesus.”

“Remember when Jesus was hanging out with that one dude that kept messing up his life with sin and Jesus was like "You are a dumb sinner, I am totally going to judge you!"Yeah, me neither. I wonder sometimes if all Christians are really reading the same Bible.”

“Jesus Creeping God! Is there a priest in this tavern? I want to confess! I'm a fucking sinner! Venal, mortal, carnal, major, minor - however you want to call it, Lord... I'm guilty.”

“Jesus went to the cross in humility so that all sinners could leave the cross with confidence.”

“In my opinion, we will always be sinners in need of our Savior, Jesus Christ."~R. Alan Woods [2007]”
