I have heard the story of the sinful woman in Luke 7 to prove that since I grew up as a Christian I can't love someone like a lifelong sinner can. There is a problem. The correct question might be? Who believes they are the greater sinner? We all have the cancer of sin and it like cancer will consume and destroy the person who has it. Who is more appreciative of cancer or sin being forgiven? The one who is worse off? That is often the case but the real answer can be the one who realizes what they have and knows they need help. Yes, the woman here was a "sinner" by the standards of the Pharisees but we don't know what was going on inside the heart and mind of the Pharisees. Could it be, and I think it was, that they who judged might have had a deeper or to use the medical term more aggressive sin problem? In the end, it's the one who realizes what Jesus does will be the ones who love the most, not the ones who have done one or another sin.
