Do you honestly think people weren't antagonized and alienated then? The
point is you do what God leads and if it upsets someone - so what! There are
people who will be antagonized and alienated by you "showing them the love of
Jesus" - will you quit doing that? If it worked then - it'll work now. And
if you take a long look at the Word you'll find that a lot of different
methods were used then - including the kind you're talking about and the kind
I referenced!
