I believe we should show ourselves more compassion and understanding. I agree with you that the issue of sin has been addressed. I do not think the writers of the New Testament depict a constant struggle with sin, but rather emphasize that we are saved from it. Therefore, we should not continue to condemn ourselves, but instead recognize that we have been redeemed. Jesus was speaking to a group of people who adhered strictly to religious practices and traditions, but were resistant to change. These individuals were set in their ways and unwilling to adapt to a new way of thinking. However, I do not see this same behavior in society today. Jesus' teachings have had a significant impact on cultures, leading to more openness and acceptance. People are no longer as rigid or quick to judge those who may stray from the norm. What are your thoughts on this?
