Should I soften the message that the gospel brings lest I offend  someone?  That cannot be.

To change the gospel, whether large to small,  is to render it useless and void.

It is to say that Jesus stands in a large crowd.  Though  everyone knows who he is some focus their attention on the men standing next to him.  And with cries of great joy they say there he is.

Certainly a man can be stupid.  But stupidity does not profit.
