@Bell,
On Luke 7:36-50:
1. Speaking of the difference between a self righteous religious leader who is mostly interested in proselyting good decent people that do not realize they are sinners in need of a saviour and a person that realizes that they are unrighteous sinner that knows they cannot cleanse themselves from being a sinner without a saviour;
2. The anointing with alabaster box of ointment is a picture of a sacrifice of repentance ( 1 John 1:9);
3. The women here being called a sinner ( John 9:31) by the Pharisee is most likely a reference to her actions, not just a person born into sin (as all humans are Romans 3:10,23), she is most likely a prostitute;
4. The parable of the creditor and two debtors validate this event between the Pharisee and the woman of low reputation;
5. Most people who get saved from a life of being a decent person do not seem to appreciate what they received through salvation as persons who get saved from a life of unlawful activity;
6. John 18:9-14, the Pharisee and the publican are on the same moral fortitude.
