controversy
Jesus used controversy to engage the religious elite. It’s odd that some of us who aspire to follow Jesus sometimes (often?) fall into the same sort of closed-system thought that afflicted the Pharisees. Perhaps paradoxically, following Jesus involves an ongoing openness to changing ones own current opinions about what it means to follow Jesus!

Pick any current "hot topic" sin as far as any denomination is concerned, and unless engaged in some debate with the religious elite, Jesus had NOTHING to say to any sinner except "Neither do I condemn you, do not sin again." The grace of God is delirious.
Thank you for chiming in, wineglass, it's good to have you in the soul-friending conversation.
