How many know that Jesus said let him who is without sin cas the first stone?

Answer 1

I do.
These pharasees who brought the women to jesus for adultry, were actually trying to set jesus up and catch Him in a violation of the Laws of Moses.
Now, when the women was brought to him and it was explained to Jesus what she did, Jesus Wrote something in the sand,it is not known what Jesus wrote, however it is the only time the Bible records Jesus actually writing something.

It has been said that when jesus said "he who hath no sin cast the 1st stone, was actually saying he who hath not this sin, cast the 1st stone, it is meant that when jesus was writing in the sand he was writing about particular sins committed by those who were accussing the women, and it was sins committed that only those individules would know about, well,,only those who did it and God,,In other words Jesus Wrote in the Sand pointing and saying,"he who hath Committed not this sin, cast the 1st stone'

Answer 2

A careful examination of Christ's command, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged" (Matthew 7:1), in light of what He said next, indicates His meaning. He said, "You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye" (Matthew 7:5). He simply was saying that we should not seek to correct a person when we are guilty of the same or another offense. We need to deal with our own sin, and then we can help someone else. He never intended that His disciples should set aside all exercise of discernment or judgment.

Later in the same message Jesus said, "Watch out for false prophets ... A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit ... Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them" (Matthew 7:15-20). We may and we must exercise the discernment God has given to us as to another's words and deeds. God alone, of course, knows the motives and intent of a person's heart.

It is also important to consider the spirit in which we seek to correct someone else. Even if we are not guilty of the same offense, we have been guilty enough of other offenses. We need to judge or correct another in a spirit of love, compassion, and humility. The Bible says, "Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ" (Galatians 6:1-2).

Answer 3

8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, 8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? 8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
-The Bible, John 8:3-7-

People in those days were still so honest. Nowadays, that woman would not be able to escape!
Before learning to love unconditionally, at least we should learn to be honest.

Answer 4

Yes. Mary Magdalene was about to be stoned to death for being a harlot, or prostitute. And Jesus stepped in and picked up a stone and offered it to them saying "He who is without sin, cast the first stone". But no one could because they all had sin in their lives.

Answer 5

Yes, I know what you are speaking of. It's in the Bible of when people are stoning a woman, and Jesus comes towards the crowd and states what you wrote above. I'm not sure if that is all you are expecting in an answer, but I'm not sure what else to write.

Answer 6

They knew well they had sinned before. And I believe when Jesus was writing on the sand he was writing their sins or their lovers name. That's why they all left in silence.

Answer 7

Related to this topic, Jesus also said "Remove the plank from your own eye before you remove the splinter from another's eye."

In other words, before you hypocritical Christians who claim to follow Jesus' teachings come to co0ndemn me to Hell for all eternity, first get rid of all your sins. Once you no longer sin anymore, come talk to me about the Gospel you claim to follow.

Evangelical Christianity-hypocrisy

Answer 8

Yes indeed this is why its not right to judge anyone because no one is without sin or blameless,therefore we have no place to judge others.

Answer 9

I do! So simple, yet everyone is quick to point out the shortfalls of others sometimes. I'm guilty of it, and I am very sorry

Answer 10

I do, it was Jesus' way of saying "If anyone is going to throw stones first it's going to be me!"
