(1) Does being sarcastic help you? Does hyper-exaggeration--which equates to lying--help you make your case? Or do you only apply your principles of not being offensive to people outside the forum? Or do you just apply your principles to people until they won't agree with you?
(2) Let's consider Jesus and the woman at the well. That isn't your anecdotal story, that is Scripture. I love that true story! Please remember who was siding with presenting ALL TRUTH and who wasn't. You tried to twist the Truth of the situation there. That doesn't come from God.
(3) How long do you think that whole conversation took? How many visits did Jesus have with her, leading up to when He could finally divulge the Truth? How many words did He speak before He said something she could have found offensive?
Here's the story you requested (ASV version, John 4:5-29)
5 So he cometh to a city of Samaria, called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph:
6 and Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus by the well. It was about the sixth hour.
7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8 For his disciples were gone away into the city to buy food.
9 The Samaritan woman therefore saith unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, who am a Samaritan woman? (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)
10 Jesus answered and said unto unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11 The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: whence then hast thou that living water?
12 Art thou greater than our father Jacob, who gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his sons, and his cattle?
13 Jesus answered and said unto her, Every one that drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14 but whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up unto eternal life.
15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come all the way hither to draw.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17 The woman answered and said unto him, I have no husband. Jesus saith unto her, Thou saidst well, I have no husband:
18 for thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: this hast thou said truly.
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father.
22 Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth.
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messiah cometh (he that is called Christ): when he is come, he will declare unto us all things.
26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am [he].
27 And upon this came his disciples; and they marvelled that he was speaking with a woman; yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why speakest thou with her?
28 So the woman left her waterpot, and went away into the city, and saith to the people,
29 Come, see a man, who told me all things that [ever] I did: can this be the Christ?
But, why not look at the many other times, Jesus would have been considered offensive, because He didn't withhold hard Truth (and without having a developed relationship with those who were following Him).
Consider John 6, for another example.
Or how about "woman, what have I to do with you? My hour has not come." in regards to His mother's request for help.
Or how about "it is not good to give the children's food to dogs" to the woman seeking his help.
What about speaking at Peter and saying "get behind me satan!" I am sure that didn't make Peter feel good in the moment.
I can go on, if you need me to.
So, when did Jesus soften the Truth that He spoke in order to maximize the acceptance of His message?
