"an irreverent portrayal of Jesus"
I find your attitude to be an irreverent portrayal of Jesus, and a betrayal of how He taught us to live.
1 Corinthians 13:4-13 4
Love suffers long, and is kind. Love does not envy. Love is not contrary, does not swell up, 5 does not deal dishonourably, seeks not her own, is not provoked to anger, thinks no evil; 6 does not take pleasure in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 suffers all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures in all things. 8 Though prophesying fail, or tongues cease, or knowledge vanish away, yet love never falls away.
9 For our knowledge is imperfect, and our prophesying is imperfect. 10 But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is imperfect shall be put away. 11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I imagined as a child. But as soon as I was a man, I put away childishness. 12 Now we see as is reflected to us in a mysterious word, but then we shall see face to face. Now I know imperfectly, but then I shall know even as I am known. 13 Now faith, hope, and love, these three things abide, but the chief of these is love.
There are some among us who will defend their harsh criticisms, accusations and condemnations of the brethren (if indeed we are their brethren) as acts of love. Love for the truth, love of sound doctrine, etc. But I see little evidence to support their claims.
