Wasn't Jesus' unhappiness with the Pharisees due to their judging sinners out of pious self-righteousness and not out of mercy, love and humility?

No. The Pharisees made up man rules to follow and ignored God's rules for one thing. They also refused to support their parents in their old age claiming that they couldn't because the money was dedicated to God. They used God but were not used by God. That was where Jesus anger with them came from.

The Pharisees used the law for their own ends. God had nothing to do with it.

And preaching morality has nothing to do with Pharisees. Nor being hypocritical.

I asked you before and you had no answer. So answer now. From Post 412: Do you think that ignoring immorality is real love? It is not. Immorality kills people. Their souls and their bodies. This story is proof of that.

No, I don't believe that ignoring immorality is real love. I've said repeatedly that I think his actions were immoral... I believe homosexuality is a perverse self-indulgance and sexual gluttony. But I think you are missing the forest for the trees and your comments regarding the Pharisees only confirms that.

I'm going to say good night now as I don't believe further debate will change any minds. Thank you for the discussion and I wish everyone well.
