      Yeah I still don’t get it after re-reading. So the “true Christian” is a guy who doesn’t masturbate, so Jesus wants to save his life (but not the sinful masturbator’s life)? If so, anyone who paid attention in bible class would know that’s total BS. Jesus dines with the sinners and wants to help them.

        It’s more a comment on the current American interpretation of Jesus, especially those on billboards etc. There’s no real abortion hatred in the Bible either; people usually just use the scripture about god knowing them in the womb, despite a supposed abortion remedy being in the Bible, or Exodus 21:22-24 where the baby dying is only a fine but any damage to the pregnant woman is repaid in kind (eye for eye, tooth for tooth, death for death).
