[Granny Bear]

Does anybody here believe that if it had of been a lesbian who had come out to the well to draw water, she would have met a Christ with a far different spirit than most of his followers show to this particular kind of sin? I am not suggesting he wouldn't have pointed out her lifestyle as sin. I am suggesting she would have sensed he loved her and did not view her as a person to be ridiculed, cheapened, or made the battleground for some kind of culture war. Instead, a woman who had five ex husbands and presently lived with a man out of wedlock came.

I think this is very valid. It all boils down to the question...are there "degrees" of sin? Is one sin worse than the other?
