oh man
just SO revealing of the heart of the matter here
Jesus said 10Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”11“No one, sir,” she said.“Then neither do I condemn you,”Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”
if forgiveness does not aid your sin problem, then you are condemned
Jesus saying he did not condemn her is the same as forgiveness
stop ADDING to what Jesus said

I will agree that 'forgivness 'aids our sin-problem giving us time to learn, but do you think it will 'cure it ? The human heart is desparately wicked looking for any 'loophole to have it's own way and 'resting in grace/forgiveness makes a very comfortable bed people don't want to 'get off from.
We are to 'sin NO MORE...not just have it 'forgiven !
Shall we continue in sin that 'grace may abound ? God forbid ! receiving continuous grace/forgiveness is not the answer - receiving Christ's Spirit is - for it will 'empower us to 'stop sinning....and the Holy Spirit is given to those who OBEY Acts 5v32,...not out of fear but LOVE !
