Reply #134: a little story from John 8....

[DeaconNoGood]

One day some guys dragged a woman up to Jesus and said they just caught her in the act of f*cking someone who was not her husband. The religiouszots were standing their and knew that the punishment for adultry was stoning. She was dead meat. Jesus knew she was guilty as accused.

He asked the guys with stones in their hands, "If anyone of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her". Of course, everybody who was holding a stone began to drop them in the dirt. The woman didn't get hit with one rock.

After the crowd was gone Jesus asked the woman "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

She said, "No one, sir."

Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared.

"Go now and leave your life of sin."

THE MORAL OF THE STORY - We are all sinners. We all need God's grace, mercy and forgiveness for the sin in our own life. We are to flee from sin.
