Does All Really Mean All?

If “all” means “all” when we say that all are welcome, then are there no limits to whom we will welcome? Would we welcome a child molester? A mass murderer? Is it simply a matter of degree, since we would likely welcome a liar but not necessarily a thief? Or is it a matter of behavior (i.e. we welcome killers but not killing, liars but not lying)? But then do we say that we accept homosexuals but not homosexual behavior (in private, of course)? So perhaps we are talking about judging only that which is a choice. So this week we will take some extra time in the area of Phoenix Affirmation #5 but examine it in the via negativa, that is, we will ask the question, “Whom don't we accept?”
