Was/Is Jesus inclusive or exclusive?

There are verses in the Bible to support a view of Jesus that was inclusive, forgiving, and compassionate. There are others that can be used to support an exclusive Jesus.

As a fairly progressive, inclusive Christian myself, I like to believe that Jesus was/is even more loving and open to all types of people than myself. But the views of more conservative Christians make me have my doubts.

Thanks in advance for all thoughtful answers. Peace.

    Jesus was inclusive. Remember, he hung out with and stuck up for sinners like tax collectors and prostitutes.

    Sadly, too many of his modern day followers are exclusive. Bless you for being open and inclusive.

    Jesus was (and is) Inclusive.

    Religions are Exclusive. The only thing you ever hear from any religion (ESPECIALLY Christianity) are things they DON'T LIKE.

    Believe in God, not religion.
