Was Jesus big on stoning people since he was the only one without sin?

Question

"Ye who are without sin cast the first stone." Is that just a way to say "Jesus gets to throw first since he's the only one of us without sin."

Answer 1

No. What Jesus meant is that anybody that wanted to stone the woman for her deeds needed to look at themselves first, and if they had no sin in their lives, then they were holy enough to follow the law at that time and stone her. Jesus had no sin and refused to stone her but instead he forgave her and told her to go on. That surely wouldn't happened in today's world, because there are people out there (Christian AND non-Christian) who would pick up the stone, kill the person and not even think twice about it and feel as though they did the world a favor. I am sorry if I don't sound like the "usual" or "typical" Christian, but that is how I am.

Answer 2

You kind of stoped in the middle of the story...

"...Jesus said "If anyone of you is without sin, let him be the first to through a stone at her." Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this , those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, "Woman, were are they? Has no one condemned you?"

" No one, sir," she said.

'Then niether do I condemn you," Jesus declared, " Go now and leave your life of sin."

- John 8:7-11, the Bible

Jesus forgave the very sinful adulteress woman, in a time were sin was punishable by death... when the religious hypocrite leaders had condemned the woman to death by stoning.

Jesus was sinless... He did not stone her... He came into the world to save it, not to condemn it....

It is your choice to accept Him or not... He lived and loved...

I'm sorry that you feel this way towards Him...

May God bless you and yours, and may He show you the Truth.

Answer 3

The "Ye who are without sin cast the first stone' account is not in the older manuscripts of the Bible.

Besides, is there record of Jesus stoning anyone?

Answer 4

No, it's a liberal asking that the laws of a land not be enforced. Notice the irony; you never see Jewish liberals becoming members of most (U.S.) country clubs. The conservative Christian wouldn't allow it. Their own Lord couldn't join their club.

More to the point, it is well known that those lines about casting the first stone were added to the original text, and only appear in the latin version.

Answer 5

I as quickly as prayed and asked, God how ought to the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah have loads of homosexuals. the respond he gave became into one individual at a time. as quickly as we enable any sin and settle for it as regular it relatively is going to unfold like a ailment. Is it worse than the different sin no. yet we are being asked to act love it is not any sin in any respect. No Christian that believes the scriptures can try this. to call sin sin isn't judgment if the bible states it as sin.

Answer 6

I wish people like you would grow up and read the bible for what it is and means, without trying to tear it down. What Jesus meant was that every human has sinned and therefore has no right to judge what other people have done. I hope I didn't take the fun out of your bible bashing. I recant that statement. I hope I upset you and took all your fun away.

Answer 7

No. It's the complete opposite, since He was the only one without sin, he died in our place on the cross because of His love toward us. He was the Perfect Lamb of God.

Answer 8

You watch too much Robot Chicken.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Yeah...Right....
