I don´t think Jesus drew a line in the sand...I think he drew a circle, and this is why

the line was clear as day...in this story is full admission in scripture that sin is real...he acknowledges the woman has sinned, he guarantees that the crowd has sinned..and he is warning them from sinning again...you can twist this to mean all is forgivable or you can take it for what it is...god speaking with his own mouth that they were all sinners and needed to stop...he didn't say keep doing what you do he said stop all of it, not live as wish because you shall be forgiven

\'MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.\'
Daniel 5:25

... may be.

What is sin?

Most people don't know this, but He actually wrote their names in the dust.

When He did this, they knew what it meant, that's why they walked away.

Jeremiah 17:13 "O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters.'

He wrote the name of the man who had been with the woman. A man who was one of the religious elite. Those with the stones knew that their hypocrisy was naked.

it is actually believed (but no-one really even knows or sure) that it was their sins , not their names. but still this is best reason. on another note, some churches don't teach this verse because it doesn't appear in the oldest manuscripts and may be a event that did happen, but was added by a scribe.

Interesting. I've heard preachers speculate on this. They admit that no one truly knows since we are not told. But your ideas are as good as any that I have heard.

That's why I stick with the King James. The "oldest" manuscripts are not necessarily the best. I've heard that they survived longer from lack of use.

Sin is the transgression of God's law.

I Corinthians 2 shows why "most pastors speculate". Most of them use the carnal mind.

but you are super spiritual

I would bet far more so than you smart ass.

Honest speculation has nothing to do with a carnal mind.

Wow that's very "logical", if one has 2 components (spiritual and the physical) and does not operate in the spiritual realm they are therefore physical/carnal. Keep trying.

But the point of it wasn't "Stop sinning." Everyone knows you shouldn't sin. The POINT was that you can't judge ANYONE because you yourself are a sinner.

Fore everyone who misunderstands the phrase, let's be clear about "not judging." For Christ, "not judging" means not passing sentence because you and I are also worthy of judgment. In politically correct speak, "not judge" means never saying that sexual perversion is wrong. We have the duty to discriminate between right and wrong. We cannot grow as humans if we do not. But we must always recognize that Christ is the Judge and not us.

Your comments are strange. You're not making any sense.

Great job with that scripture and matching it to this situation

I don't think that it proves her point. We still don't know what the Lord actually wrote. It remains a matter of speculation.

It does prove the point because the prophecy in jeremiah was then fulfilled. Nothing is in the bible by random, it all means something........especially the things Jesus said and did. The pharisees knew the scripture in jeremiah, that's why they dropped their stones and walked away when Jesus did that. They knew!

It's VERY clear.

A circle with a dot in the middle.

No, it's not clear. I believe that if it were intended to be a fulfillment of Scripture, the Gospel writers would have told us. However, they are silent.

I've noticed in your posts that you are sort of a religious narcissist, overestimating yourself, setting yourself up as the teacher. Learn some humility.

It was a circle of flat Earth for a flat mind.

You're free to disagree. You're also free to unfairly judge me, like you just did.

Have a great day!

Absolutely not.

Are you ready to admit that you're not Jesus yet? Or, do you still live with that delusion?

The ones who were about to stone the woman for adultery were following the Law/Judgements of God. They were hardly demons. Lame.
