Reading the following writing we can understand that Jesus not towards any type of discrimination,
in addition it would not have sense,
I have seen a people who preach that firstly one must clean themselves of their sins to receive Jesus,
this does not have sense since Jesus came to purify us of our sins, if we could do we would not need it the Lord,
a woman of bad life, arrives until Jesus requesting at weeping by her salvation,
and the Lord puts it like example for us
a Pharisee believed that he was out of danger because fulfill traditional rituals, nevertheless Jesus shows his great mistake to us. the only form to save us is to put in practices the lessons of the only teacher through its Holy Spirit.
LUCAS 7
36 10 (http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/luke/luke7.htm#foot10) 11 (http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/luke/luke7.htm#foot11) A Pharisee invited him to dine with him, and he entered the Pharisee's house and reclined at table. 37 Now there was a sinful woman in the city who learned that he was at table in the house of the Pharisee. Bringing an alabaster flask of ointment, 38 she stood behind him at his feet weeping and began to bathe his feet with her tears. Then she wiped them with her hair, kissed them, and anointed them with the ointment. 39 When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would know who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, that she is a sinner."
The one that believe being without sins will not request pardon
40 Jesus said to him in reply, "Simon, I have something to say to you." "Tell me, teacher," he said. 41 "Two people were in debt to a certain creditor; one owed five hundred days' wages 12 (http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/luke/luke7.htm#foot12) and the other owed fifty. 42 Since they were unable to repay the debt, he forgave it for both. Which of them will love him more?" 43 Simon said in reply, "The one, I suppose, whose larger debt was forgiven." He said to him, "You have judged rightly."
The question is; how we can know our sins? and how sorry we are?
44 Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? When I entered your house, you did not give me water for my feet, but she has bathed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You did not give me a kiss, but she has not ceased kissing my feet since the time I entered. 46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she anointed my feet with ointment. 47 So I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven; hence, she has shown great love. 13 (http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/luke/luke7.htm#foot13) But the one to whom little is forgiven, loves little."
I know who goes to the temples of their congregations and when leaving they watch with scorn those who does not attend the celebration, and I know people who are more charitable without going to the temples
48 He said to her, "Your sins are forgiven." 49 The others at table said to themselves, "Who is this who even forgives sins?" 50 But he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
It is evident that the woman acted with true FAITH, and Jesus pardon it and I do not believe that she has stepped on a temple sometimes.
Nobody prevents to go to the temples, but, already your FAITH was proven ?.
