I'm a Christian as well. I respect your perspective but I have to criticize your understanding of the lords compassion. I'm glad that you have found the light of life in Jesus, and I see that your passion to share his mercy is bar none, but I have to denote the fact that Jesus would "go out for drinks" with sinners. This implies that he would be living [i]in[/i] the world (that he is said to have overcame; if we are reading the same gospel).
Psalms 13:20
"Walk with the wise and become wise, for a companion of fools suffers harm."
Isn't the church his bride after all? Why would he not be in his church, cleansing and sanctifying the ones that are diligently seeking his redemptive power?
Jesus is a friend to the sinners that turn from their ways. Jesus would not go out of his way to follow around a group of "bad" people just to help them. He didn't chase after the Pharisees, but surrounded himself with those who would willingly turn from their ways and seek to follow and obey him at heart.
You are spreading false gospel to appease the sinners contention. Jesus loves all people and he would not refrain from addressing wickedness.
Proverbs 14:9
"Fools mock at making amends for sin, but goodwill is found among the upright."
Now, in today's society, we no longer acknowledge our sin, and we detest guilt. Our society instills self empowerment, reverting the need for this guilt into the love of self and not love of god.
Tldr; Jesus loves everyone, but he tells us who will not inherit the kingdom, and they are the ones who find reasons to continue in their sin, instead of seeking the salvation in his sacrifice. I appreciate how you show love to others, but proclaiming that Jesus would do this instead of being critical of our wicked self righteousness is blasphemy.
