Maybe the reason Jesus cautioned his followers to "Judge not lest ye be judged" is because he sensed they might one day be tempted to condemn gays and lesbians instead of welcoming them and loving them.
Maybe the reason Jesus counseled his followers, "Don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them" is because he recognized that without this guidance, they might one day try to force the children of unbelievers to participate in public school prayer.
Maybe the reason Jesus said to love your enemies and to do good to them that hate you is because he realized without this philosophy, Christians might one day wage war against Muslims.
Maybe, and I'm just spit balling here, maybe the reason Jesus asked his followers to "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's" is because he knew that without that advice they might eventually wade into politics and fuck everything up.
