Do you also realise Jesus called the unrepentant
Mat 23:33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
and cursed the unrepentant in the chapter of woes.....Matt 23
Mat 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!
Mat 23:16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides, ............
as much as He taught tolerance, He had also turned the tables twice (literally) against wicked men who defiled the Temple....
Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Joh 3:17 For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
Joh 3:18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Judgment, Love, Compassion and Mercy all met at the Cross. If only you know what true and Biblical Christianity is.........and after all, we are all sinners. Most of us, even professing christians; have not tasted true forgiveness and true love of Christ!!
PS: Sorry not even unconditional love, it is electing love:
Rom 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated. He is the God of election. Jesus means - Mat 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call His name JESUS: for He shall save His people from their sins.

the type closest to what Jesus taught could be like the father in the prodigal son... he enable the baby pass his way till he got here to his senses and back domicile. The Dad watched and arranged finding for the baby hoping he could come back yet no longer making him come back. Jesus instructed the religion leaders 'I easily have plenty to declare to sentence you' and telling the girl caught in adultery who they extra to him 'neither do I condemn you. pass and sin not greater' apparently it is the main loose technology of the 60's that grew up and commenced making '0 tolerance' regulations.. ironic..in line with probability

Apparently they they haven't really got the message, this message is hard to sell to the materialistic society that we live in, religion has become big business! A lot of people think their religion makes them better than others and they have bought and paid for this position with their tithing.

Jesus did not teach that we are to tolerate everything. He taught us to judge sin and told us to keep His commandments and to go into all the world and preach His gospel. If the unbelievers do not accept the gospel to dust our feet off and keep going to the next one.

Honey, we are told in God's Word to NOT tolerate sin. Did Christ tolerate the money changers in the temple? NO! It's BECAUSE we love, that we are so down on sin. Because sin destroys the soul.
Christians are not supposed to tolerate sin, so we don't. If you have a problem with that, please take it up with the Creator.
God bless!

And do YOU hate them for that?
GOD loves you dear, but He also HATES the sin, that you love more than Him!
I love YOU too, and I want the BEST for you; but I hate your addictive, habit-forming "hobby" of homosexuality.
God did not give you "baby making equipment", and "compatable organ", to merely "love" other women, and never know the joy of marriage and motherhood!
There is no joy, because YOU are missing out!

Jesus also gave up everything he had to preach. But I don't see too many people, Christian or not, who are willing to give up even half of the useless stuff they have sitting around their homes.

Well contrary to popular belief and it's the morons that think when you go to God you become Billy Graham or Joyce Meyers overnight.

What's this "unconditional love" stuff?
God's "love", according to the Christian faith, has a gigantic condition on it: "Worship me or suffer forever." To cap it off, there are hundreds if not thousands of denominations to choose from without a single clue for choosing among them, and if you choose the wrong one...same result.
Hell, that's not a condition, that's a downright threat.
Some "loving" god you guys got there...

Divine Love Is Also Conditional
While divine love can be called perfect, infinite, enduring, and universal, it cannot correctly be characterized as unconditional. The word does not appear in the scriptures. On the other hand, many verses affirm that the higher levels of love the Father and the Son feel for each of us—and certain divine blessings stemming from that love—are conditional. Before citing examples, it is well to recognize various forms of conditional expression in the scriptures.
Conditional Forms
Several forms of conditional expression may be found in the scriptures:
• “If … [certain conditions exist], then … [certain consequences follow].” (The indicators if and then may be written or implied.)
• “Inasmuch as … [certain conditions exist], … [certain consequences follow].” 14
• “Except … cannot … ” 15
• “Prove … , if … ” For example, a verse pertaining to our creation reveals a prime purpose for our sojourn here in mortality: “We will prove them herewith, to see if they will do all things whatsoever the Lord their God shall command them.” 16 Life here is a period of mortal probation. Our thoughts and actions determine whether our mortal probation can merit heavenly approbation. 17
The Conditional Nature of Divine Love
With scriptural patterns of conditional statements in mind, we note many verses that declare the conditional nature of divine love for us. Examples include:
• “If ye keep my commandments, [then] ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love.” 18
• “If you keep not my commandments, [then] the love of the Father shall not continue with you.” 19
• “If a man love me, [then] he will keep my words: and my Father will love him.” 20
• “I love them that love me; and those that seek me … shall find me.” 21
• “God is no respecter of persons: But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness, is accepted with him.” 22
• The Lord “loveth those who will have him to be their God.” 23
• “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him.
