So, basically, what you’re saying is that we can keep throwing stones at sinners committed by a few, while the sins committed by many should go unpunished because we then would have to face the beam in our own eye?

I get it, some sinners are more righteous than others.
Greetings Susanna,

I don't want to miss your point this. Would you please clarify it for me? Thank You

Please humor me. If a petty thief witnesses a rape, is he unworthy to report it, or if possible intervene?

In the OT the criteria in the LAW for a witness was not sinlessness but they could not be malicious;

Deu 19:16 NASB "If a malicious witness rises up against a man to accuse him of wrongdoing,

They could not have impure motives for witnessing.

John 8:6 alone indicates that they were in fact malicious.

They violated every protocol for bringing the woman caught in the act before Him. They probably tempted her and set her up which in and of itself is against the LAW! Then they didn't bring the man who she committed adultery with which is against the LAW protocols which means he might have been one of the conspirators!

This whole scenario stunk and Jesus knew it. It has MALICE written allover it.

One wiser than Solomon had them pegged and I think He invoked Deut 19:18-19 and they realize if the matter was looked into they would end up being stoned to death!

We aren't living in the Old "Moses" Levitical Testament silly, we don't throw real stones, we are in the New "Jesus" Gospel Testament we only throw spiritual stones that are invisible words that kill the Carnal Man but seek to birth the New Man

Greetings Repentandbaptize, Are you speaking for Susanna? If not I hope to hear her clarification.

But I appreciate hearing from you. I hope to clarify what you are referring to though. If someone seeks to have you or your daughter or son or wife killed or raped would this offense only rise to the level of "words" as you said? I won't judge your position either way.

True example; Someone very close to me chaired a women's Bible study. One of the attendees in the study and church they belonged to found out her son was a Sodomite. He was in the music ministry there too. She was appalled and rebuked him. He did not repent. He is moving forward in his abominable sinful lifestyle. As time has progressed the mother, who loves her son has acquiesced to his lifestyle and now defends him. They and many other Sodomites and sympathizers have formed a Sodomite gathering/fellowship that they refer to as "Christian", many others have joined in. How many people must be infected by this spiritual contagion before "spiritual words" are considered insufficient?

I'm not sure about the two sodomizers, they may be skilled in designing sandals and togas, they may be able to square dance well, heck may even b able to sing
"Somewhere over the Rainbow" like Judy Garland and "My heart will go on" by Celine Dion, but all the flowers in their wedding won't matter on the Day when Lord Jesus Christ Judges the living and the Dead

I didn’t interpret it that way either, but I’m really done with that post now 😁. I was just commenting without any thoughts of clarification or interpretation. You know, when you’re just in a good mood and some remark just slips out lol.

Im condescending sorry. But why should I respond to yours when you twisted everything I said to mean something outrageous and didnt bother to read the Bible yourself to check. Thats really rude and disrespectful in a christian forum to do didnt you know?

Try to read posts carefully before you assume things the poster did not say. How about using some active listening skills...and search scriptures. Its not hard to maybe check out the Bible to make sure rather than assume something totally wrong. It just makes yourself look like a fool. Thats why I said duh. Be noble, be a Berean and search scripture to see if things are so.

In other words use the brains God gave you and the Bible he sent you.

Going back to this topic...
A fool says in his heart there is no God.

What I see is basically two men getting married being pretty foolish thinking they can be married cos they think God cant see them and thus do whatever they like. Well thats not the way God wants His children to behave. They are going to have to answer to God, eventually. If not now, then at judgement day.

Greetings Lanolin,

Please accept this excerpt from Andrew Murray's Humility:

Chapter 2
Humility: The Secret of Redemption


“Have this mind in you which was also in Christ Jesus: who emptied Himself; taking the form of a servant; and humbled Himself; becoming obedient even unto death. Wherefore God also highly exalted Him. “
Phil. 2:5-9.


No tree can grow except on the root from which it sprang. Through all its existence it can only live with the life that was in the seed that gave it being. The full apprehension of this truth in its application to the first and the Second Adam cannot but help us greatly to understand both the need and the nature of the redemption there is in Jesus.
The Need.—When the Old Serpent, he who had been cast out from heaven for his pride, whose whole nature as devil was pride, spoke his words of temptation into the ear of Eve, these words carried with them the very poison of hell. And when she listened, and yielded her desire and her will to the prospect of being as God, knowing good and evil, the poison entered into her soul and blood and life, destroying forever that blessed humility and dependence upon God which would have been our everlasting happiness. And instead of this, her life and the life of the race that sprang from her became corrupted to its very root with that most terrible of all sins and all curses, the poison of Satan’s own pride. All the wretchedness of which this world has been the scene, all its wars and bloodshed among the nations, all its selfishness and suffering, all its ambitions and jealousies, all its broken hearts and embittered lives, with all its daily unhappiness, have their origin in what this cursed, hellish pride, either our own, or that of others, has brought us. It is pride that made redemption needful; it is from our pride we need above everything to be redeemed. And our insight into the need of redemption will largely depend upon our knowledge of the terrible nature of the power that has entered our being.
No tree can grow except on the root from which it sprang. The power that Satan brought from hell, and cast into man’s life, is working daily, hourly, with mighty power throughout the world. Men suffer from it; they fear and fight and flee it; and yet they know not whence it comes, whence it has its terrible supremacy. No wonder they do not know where or how it is to be overcome. Pride has its root and strength in a terrible spiritual power, outside of us as well as within us; as needful as it is that we confess and deplore it as our very own, is to know it in its Satanic origin. If this leads us to utter despair of ever conquering or casting it out, it will lead us all the sooner to that supernatural power in which alone our deliverance is to be found—the redemption of the Lamb of God. The hopeless struggle against the workings of self and pride within us may indeed become still more hopeless as we think of the power of darkness behind it all; the utter despair will fit us the better for realizing and accepting a power and a life outside of ourselves too, even the humility of heaven as brought down and brought nigh by the Lamb of God, to cast out Satan and his pride. No tree can grow except on the root from which it sprang. Even as we need to look to the first Adam and his fall to know the power of the sin within us, we need to know well the Second Adam and His power to give within us a life of humility as real and abiding and overmastering as has been that of pride. We have our life from and in Christ, as truly, yea more truly, than from and in Adam. We are to walk “rooted in Him,” “holding fast the Head from whom the whole body increaseth with the increase of God.” The life of God which in the incarnation entered human nature, is the root in which we are to stand and grow; it is the same almighty power that worked there, and thence onward to the resurrection, which works daily in us. Our one need is to study and know and trust the life that has been revealed in Christ as the life that is now ours, and waits for our consent to gain possession and mastery of our whole being.
In this view it is of inconceivable importance that we should have right thoughts of what Christ is, of what really constitutes Him the Christ, and specially of what may be counted His chief characteristic, the root and essence of all His character as our Redeemer. There can be but one answer: it is His humility. What is the incarnation but His heavenly humility, His emptying Himself and becoming man? What is His life on earth but humility; His taking the form of a servant? And what is His atonement but humility? “He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death.” And what is His ascension and His glory, but humility exalted to the throne and crowned with glory? “He humbled Himself, therefore God highly exalted Him.” In heaven, where He was with the Father, in His birth, in His life, in His death, in His sitting on the throne, it is all, it is nothing but humility. Christ is the humility of God embodied in human nature; the Eternal Love humbling itself, clothing itself in the garb of meekness and gentleness, to win and serve and save us. As the love and condescension of God makes Him the benefactor and helper and servant of all, so Jesus of necessity was the Incarnate Humility. And so He is still in the midst of the throne, the meek and lowly Lamb of God. If this be the root of the tree, its nature must be seen in every branch and leaf and fruit. If humility be the first, the all-including grace of the life of Jesus,--if humility be the secret of His atonement,--then the health and strength of our spiritual life will entirely depend upon our putting this grace first too, and making humility the chief thing we admire in Him, the chief thing we ask of Him, the one thing for. which we sacrifice all else.[2] Is it any wonder that the Christian life is so often feeble and fruitless, when the very root of the Christ life is neglected, is unknown? Is it any wonder that the joy of salvation is so little felt, when that in which Christ found it and brings it, is so little sought? Until a humility which will rest in nothing less than the end and death of self; which gives up all the honor of men as Jesus did, to seek the honor that comes from God alone; which absolutely makes and counts itself nothing, that God may be all, that the Lord alone may be exalted,--until such a humility be what we seek in Christ above our chief joy, and welcome at any price, there is very little hope of a religion that will conquer the world.
I cannot too earnestly plead with my reader, if possibly his attention has never yet been specially directed to the want there is of humility within him or around him, to pause and ask whether he sees much of the spirit of the meek and lowly Lamb of God in those who are called by His name. Let him consider how all want of love, all indifference to the needs, the feelings, the weakness of others; all sharp and hasty judgments and utterances, so often excused under the plea of being outright and honest; all manifestations of temper and touchiness and irritation; all feelings of bitterness and estrangement, have their root in nothing but pride, that ever seeks itself, and his eyes will be opened to see how a dark, shall I not say a devilish pride, creeps in almost everywhere, the assemblies of the saints not excepted. Let him begin to ask what would be the effect, if in himself and around him, if towards fellow-saints and the world, believers were really permanently guided by the humility of Jesus; and let him say if the cry of our whole heart, night and day, ought not to be, Oh for the humility of Jesus in myself and all around me! Let him honestly fix his heart on his own lack of the humility which has been revealed in the likeness of Christ’s life, and in the whole character of His redemption, and he will begin to feel as if he had never yet really known what Christ and His salvation is. Believer! study the humility of Jesus. This is the secret, the hidden root of thy redemption. Sink down into it deeper day by day. Believe with thy whole heart that this Christ, whom God has given thee, even as His divine humility wrought the work for thee, will enter in to dwell and work within thee too, and make thee what the Father would have thee be.

Don't expect sinners to act like Christians and do not judge sinners by Christian standards of conduct. Sinners need to hear the gospel not how unchristian they seem.

Many Christians cannot fully embrace sanctification so we have no reason the think that sinners can be sanctified. Sodomites marry because they want to marry. Right or not in the sight of God is of little concern to them. They walk in blindness not in the light of Christ.

For the cause of Christ
