To attack someone because they live outside of one's understanding of the scriptures does not follow Christ's examples. He always reached out in Love and Compassion. He walked with them and loved them. When they responded to His Love and Compassion, He forgave them. Luke 7:36-50

The only people He attacked were the religious leaders, who used the scriptures to condemn and torment "sinners". Matthew 23:13

We are called to reach out in Love and Compassion to all "sinners". We need to let everything we do, say, or write, reflect Christ's Love and His mission.

We are not called to condemnation and judgement. That remains in the hand of God. Matthew 7:1-3
