When we sin, come to Him, when we think someone sins, come to Him, when someone judges us, come to Him, when we judge someone, come to Him, when we already know what to do, come to Him......,
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today, September 24, 2023, John 8:1-11, 56-59, was the basis for our Sunday School Lesson of the day. It was entitled "Jesus Prevents Two Stonings." The hymn, "Restre in Us, O God," is a good hymn to compliment this Scripture.
I love this. Once I had an open revelation of this very account in Word. I was not only the woman caught but I was one of those holding a stone to throw. I dropped the stone in this "vision" and watched as Jesus bent down & spoke to her. He became the "Glory & Lifter of her head." At the close of this open revelation, Jesus stands up, the woman lifts up her head and slips her arm through the arm of the Lord as they walked through the city (in my vision it was Charleston). As they walked together (it was really me walking with Him), she grew in her confidence in what He was sharing. Then He told her to go and invite the people everywhere to His Father's House - to a banquet He was holding for ALL (the Lame, the Blind, the Weary & the Poor). She did as He asked. Thank you for this powerful word & for bringing to my remembrance the wonderful encounter I had long ago in this vision. (JoAnn Parrott - July 28, 2022)
This verse reveals to us that Jesus Christ is the judge hence he referred to them "he who's without sin should throw the stone unto the woman" Jesus Christ is the only one who's without sin and us into him we are without sin 🙏
No it tells us not to condemn others as none is perfect. He didn’t defend the woman’s actions on the contrary he acknowledged her wrong doing, meaning he did judge her actions. He agreed with all that she has done wrong hence agreeing with the people’s judgment of the woman. What He did is asked those who were ready to condemn to cast the first stone as long as they themselves were without sin. He clearly tells us that we ourselves cannot condemn as we ourselves are not perfect. Though this idea that only God can judge you is ridiculous, but only God can condemn you. The Bible tells us to always use our discernment, which is not only the ability to judge but the ability to judge well.
I have kind of been obsessed with that story, but yes I have never thought of the aspect of Jesus bowing down towards the woman, and how that would have infuriated the hard set traditional Jews there
An interjection from a Jew here. Two accusers were necessary for a trial; if found guilty the two accusers were given a choice: to forgive or to punish. They were not allowed to just stand by and watch, the accusers were required to throw the first stone. The majority of times the choice was to forgive. This made the tradition provide for both punishment and mercy, allowing for us to see the severity of transgressing Gods law as well as showing his mercy. Also (not to insist but to suggest) Jewish law requires the names of the accusers to be written on the dust of the floor of the temple meaning before God, I make this testimony. Perhaps he was writing the names and sins of all in attendance, maybe he was writing the law (as the finger who wrote the law on the tablets would best know how to interpret that law)… I dunno. I’m not a Christian theologian, a biblical scholar or even a journeyman in the realm of scripture….. I’m just a Jew who loves Jesus and like trying to figure him out.
What we learn about this story is that Jesus is the same God that formed man from the dust, and that we are not the judge of one another, rather He is the only judge. He did not come to condemn, but to restore. He did not come to let others get away with it, but to remind them that if they don’t leave their life of sin, they will eventually have to face the Judge. No one is righteous, no not one…
The story doesn’t teach us not to judge, it teaches us not to condemn as we too have sinned. He agrees the woman’s faults and understands the law of Moses. This means he agrees with the people’s judgment being that the woman was in wicked ways. He prevents the people of condemning her as they themselves have no ground to stand on. We further see that he agrees with the people judgment on the woman as he tells her to leave the life she had and live righteously.
@@aetank_yyteawu3436you’re right but he also means that since god hasn’t sinned that he is the only one to judge as we are all sinners (or so it’s said).
What he wrote in the dirt was their names " O Yahweh, the hope of Israel, All who forsake You will be put to shame. Those who turn away on earth will be written down Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, even Yahweh." He was accusing each of them of committing adultery against God by doing that. The fact that they left by order of birth takes us back to Joseph and his brothers. When Joseph was about to reveal himself to his brothers, he had them arranged at the table by order of birth. By doing this, Jesus was letting them know that they were like Joseph's brothers who had trapped him in a pit. This is why they dropped the stones by order of birth
I think there was something else that's missed here. The trap was Jews could not legally put someone to death at that time. If Yeshua said stone her He was saying break the law if he said don't stone her He was breaking the Law. That was the trap. My2Cents
It’s symbolic, the OT says that both the man and woman should be stoned, but they only brought him the woman, so the leaders where also in era, which Jesus knew. They were testing him and he was testing them back. Because Jesus actually wrote the law, Jesus is the word.
No, he wasn't wtiting their sins down. Deuteronomy 9:10. And Yahweh gave me 2 tablets of stone written by the finger if God. The finger of Jesus wrote the the laws of Moses. Only He can judge. He gave the law and here are the Jews trying to use it against Him
Actually, we don't know if she was married. She would still be committing adultery if the man she has relations with was married. If they both were unmarried it would be called fornication.
This has always MADE me a bit confused everything you said is true mosses law said plain without hedges or well uh umm hu that said bring both parties to the riders and high priest judgement be rendered bothering me and I inmange others if that woman was caught in the VERY act of adultery where is the man at? Everyone seems to miss that part of the story! The real main point is can Jesus Christ and God' forgive sin that answer best be Yes otherwise Jesus Christ died for nothing his shed blood Sacrifice on. That cross was a mockery of the word of God and you better believe that God and Jesus Christ can and will forgive your sins my sins and everyone else as well otherwise we are all headed to the lake of fire and Satan and his is the victor which we know and believe truly honestly in our hearts minds that Jesus Christ is the one and only one that can give you and everyone else everlasting life be forever with God' and Jesus Christ no other way but through Jesus Christ and his blood shed on the cross and God' v mercy and grace God' created every soul Ezekiel CHAPTER 18 V 4 ALL SOULS BELONG TO GOD Hosa chapter 6 v 6 I don't want your BURNT OFFERINGS but your love! And revelation chapter 4: the last VERSE I:1': made everything for my pleasure!:, have you pleased God lately?

This is the best teaching humility surrnders

This story is missing in our earliest manuscripts of John. It was added centuries later (scholarly consensus)
So much for the law of Moses then , when confronted with divine unconditional love and grace and I emphasise unconditional divine love .
Beautiful preaching, Amen

Super good!

Why was the man not bought to account
Thank YOU, LORD YESHUA MESSIAH, for taking our punishment upon YOURSELF.
What he wrote in the dirt was their names
" O Yahweh, the hope of Israel,
All who forsake You will be put to shame.
Those who turn away on earth will be written down
Because they have forsaken the fountain of living water, even Yahweh."
He was accusing each of them of committing adultery against God by doing that. The fact that they left by order of birth takes us back to Joseph and his brothers. When Joseph was about to reveal himself to his brothers, he had them arranged at the table by order of birth. By doing this, Jesus was letting them know that they were like Joseph's brothers who had trapped him in a pit.
This is why they dropped the stones by order of birth
Maybe this is one of the reasons HE answered them the way HE did.

Is breaking Roman laws a sin from God's perspective?
Jesus pointed out, by writing in the dirt the complete words of the Law, that the Pharisee violated by omission, when He wrote “and the man.”
It’s symbolic, the OT says that both the man and woman should be stoned, but they only brought him the woman, so the leaders where also in era, which Jesus knew. They were testing him and he was testing them back. Because Jesus actually wrote the law, Jesus is the word.
#1 Jesus began to write their( the stone throwers sins in the dirt)
#2 the only one who was without sin was Jesus you preachers arent even close
No, he wasn't wtiting their sins down. Deuteronomy 9:10. And Yahweh gave me 2 tablets of stone written by the finger if God. The finger of Jesus wrote the the laws of Moses. Only He can judge. He gave the law and here are the Jews trying to use it against Him
HEY 👋 BRO 😎 REMEMBER AND DON’T FORGET THE DESERT 🌵 🐪 SANDS OF THE HOLY LANDS OF ARABIA IS PURE AND NOT “DIRT” ‼️
They didn't care about the woman says a lot
❤
Where was her adulterous partner? Maybe he was in the crowd participating with her accusers?
What's missing is the testimony of the cheated-on husband...
Actually, we don't know if she was married. She would still be committing adultery if the man she has relations with was married.
If they both were unmarried it would be called fornication.
This has always MADE me a bit confused everything you said is true mosses law said plain without hedges or well uh umm hu that said bring both parties to the riders and high priest judgement be rendered bothering me and I inmange others if that woman was caught in the VERY act of adultery where is the man at?

Jesus may peace be upon him never was married never had a family so how can you be an example if he's never showed at himself
