The Minimal Facts for the Resurrection of Christ.

[QuickTwist]

what type of sin ?

Idolatry for the Israelites. Putting trust in works for the Galatians. Not seeing Jesus as the Messiah for the Pharisees.

The kind of sin doesn't matter. If the kind of sin did matter, then you would have to wonder why God gave us so many things to follow that are not important. God does not say, "Well, this sin is not as bad, so it doesn't matter if you do it."

Paul says,
"None is righteous.
No, not one."

Jesus whole message was a message of repentance based on Matthew 4:17. Without a person seeing they are a sinner, there is no salvation. If we don't know we sin, we don't know we need to be forgiven. That is why it is sometimes appropriate to tell people they are sinners. So they can know they need forgiveness and can look to the cross for that.

You are right that a sin is a sin, but what examples does the Bible actually provide? How did Jesus address sinners? How did He guide them on their path of growth and redemption? Was it through coercion, or through example?
He didn't lead by pointing out their flaws to the world; He led by meeting them where they were and showing them a better way .
Please think about it

I think different people require different things, which is not my gifting. I think sometimes, even the best answer is not convincing.

And Jesus did point out the flaws of others... Even with the woman at the well, he points out her adultery. To Peter, he says, "Get behind me Satan."

It's not a dichotomy and you are insinuating that I am trying to coerce people to believing as if it is some manipulative tactic I am doing. Nothing I have done has been "manipulative." If I was manipulative, I would not have everyone in the thread telling me I am being "judgmental." I would have far better people skills than to have people saying I am being judgmental. Manipulative people can fool a crowd. Nothing I have done is to fool anyone. I never manipulate people. I speak. People listen or not. Call me names or not. Block me or not. Nothing about me is manipulative.

No Quick , really I wasn't referring to you . Sorry if I made you think it this way.

I was trying to say that he used his example, not that you're manipulitive .

Just trying to say that Jesus used examples

Just trying to say that Jesus used examples

Jesus did use examples. He gave many parables. He also called people everywhere to repent of their sin.

(Matthew 4:17 ESV)
From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

"From that time" = The time in which Jesus preached
"Jesus began to preach" = Jesus started preaching
"Saying" = His main message of what He preached
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand”
