People who operate in good faith deserve to be treated differently than people who operate in bad faith. The fact that so many Christians don't understand this boggles my mind. They have let satan twist Christ's words to the opposite meaning.

The clearest example we have of this is Christ Himself. Anyone who has spent anytime in the Gospels will see Christ treated the *repentant* sinner far differently from how He treated the hypocritical Pharisees. He called them vipers and sons of Satan right to their face, for crying out loud.

Yet many Christians, most of whom don't know their Bible, have let the world convince them that we must treat today's hypocritical Pharisees *the same* as we do the repentant sinner. It is such a perversion of the Gospel it defies explanation other than coming from the devil himself.
