Hey Art, do you know what Jesus said to the woman taken in adultery after telling those who were about to stone her, "the one among you without sin cast the first stone." What did he tell her after saving her life?

The episode of the woman caught in adultery can be found in John 8:1-11. If you don't have a Bible, you can Google it. Another outstanding passage is Jesus interraction with a Samaritan woman at a well (John 4:1-42).

In the first encounter Jesus saved the life of a woman caught in adultery who was about to be stoned by self-righteous men. Did Jesus say to her, "I understand you?" No, he said, 'go and sin no more." He was her protector, not her accuser, yet it was important to Him to direct her to a righteous path, yet in a gentle, loving way.

In His conversation with the Samaritan woman at the well Jesus was able to reveal that although He had never met her He knew her past, and that she'd had several husbands before the man that she was living with now. The way that Jesus presented this knowledge to her convinced the woman that Jesus was the Messiah. He was pointing out her sins as well, but in a gentle, loving way. As a result, it even affected the entire village.

This is what the Church is here for. We're not here to h**e. The world apart from God is in sin. It is our role as Christians to be beacons of God's T***h about sin, righteousness and judgment so that men and women, boys and girls might come to faith and turn from sin and all un-Godliness, just as Jesus did, yet to do so in the save loving way that He did, yet also holding firm against sin as He did. He never wavered in that.

It all comes down to who is defining and judging what is sin - is it the community of faith for the community of faith or is it the community of faith for the government or is it the government for all?

God is Love. If it is a violation of love, it is sin. Period.

If only everyone saw it that way.

If they did, we would have no mission.

True.

God What we learn from the Bible is that we all have sinful natures. You may think of sin in the sense of the big ones. However, even the way that we think is sinful. Think about it. Think about the ways that you think about certain people, or the grudges you carry, or the hatred towards some. It is only through the power of God Himself through faith in Jesus Christ that we can overcome, incrementally, our sinful nature and become more like Him.

As brought to you by....people with sinful natures. Some of them may even be disciples of satan rather than of Christ.
