This way, opening wide the torrent of Mercy, especially for those who did him the greatest harm. The infant king who was persecuted by kings and armies from the day he was born. A limp infant under the stars, who was born in a manger for livestock because there was no room for him at the inn. The Alpha and the Omega, who was and is to come. He was humble. A reed he did not break, and a stone he did not leave overturned. We killed him because we couldn't stand his immense innocence and honesty. He does not condemn unfairly, just as he didn't condemn the woman who was caught in adultery. Rather, he drew a line in the sand so that those who were going to stone her would back off. If we hated him, only then we would condemn ourselves to hell. But knowing him it is hard to hate him, unless we hated ourselves first. Either way, sooner would heaven and earth freeze over than his mercy fail to embrace a trusting soul.

Sorry, but your faith inculcates self-loathing. It is the obverse of a loving relationship.
I love my child. I would never dream of telling him that no matter what he does, it will never be good enough for me, but that because I'm a good father, I will forgive him his incurable imperfections.
That is psychological abuse at its finest, and you are clearly suffering from Stockholm Syndrome, licking the boot that you believes kicks you in the face, embracing every blow as deserved.
If that's what makes you happy, great. Keep it to yourself. No one here wants to read word-salad justifications for clearly immoral actions from the alleged source of morality.
No one.
