where in the bible (chapter, verse) is there anything about reconciliation?

Question

i know there's the story of the prostitute, and jesus forgives her, but where is that?

Denise W, I'm not a prostitute. This was a homework assignment for school. But thanks for the advice

Answer 1

I'm not sure if the following is what you are referring to, but here it is in John 8: 1-11

1But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. 2At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4and said to Jesus, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?" 6They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her." 8Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9At 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. 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."

Answer 2

Reconciliation comes in many forms dear....what is your issue. You are not a prostitute, right?

I fully recommend that part of this lesson "journey" for you, is to locate the answer yourself. Honestly look for the answer.

Open the bible and look at the header [chapter fronts] the book of _______, the overview of that section is briefly covered and what it applies too. I would advise you to take a spiral notebook and just write it down and "what that scripture" means to you, as you understand it. Then advise you minister, priest or Sunday school class regarding that topic.

Many times this is the best way to open up the dialog to help you "release" the pain of your personal sin and become aware that you are loved and blessed by our God.

Best wishes

Answer 3

Rahab of Jericho was a prostitute (Joshua 2) but was recognized as being a faithful witness to God. (Hebrews 11:30-31)

There is a story in Luke 7:36-38, but its just speculation since the bible only calls her 'sinner,' and not directly as a prostitute.

Answer 4

As far as I've read in the Bible, Jesus forgave a "sinner" but nowhere says she was a prostitute. Take a look at: Luke 7:37

Answer 8

The Bible makes provision for two kinds of reconciliation - between man and man - and between man and God. If a man has offended against another, he is to make restitution according to God's Law. For instance: "If any one sins and commits a breach of faith against the LORD by deceiving his neighbour... or through robbery, or if he has oppressed... he shall restore what he took by robbery, or what he got by oppression... and shall add a fifth to it... And he shall bring to the priest his guilt offering to the LORD... and he shall be forgiven for any of the things which one may do and thereby become guilty." (Lev. 6:1-7, Ex. 22) - If a man has offended against God, the eternal restitution for his sin must be paid with an eternal ransom price. The Bible describes it like this: "Since all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, they are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as an expiation by his blood, to be received by faith." (Rom. 3:21-26) With such restitution comes loving unity, peace, and joy, between the two opposing parties.

These two views of reconciliation are exact opposites and cannot be reconciled with one another!

Answer 9

But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. At day daybreak, however, he again presented himself at the temple, and all the people began coming to him, and he sat down and began to teach them. Now the scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman caught at adultery, and, after standing her in their midst, they said to him: "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of committing adultery. In the Law Moses prescribed for us to stone such sort of women. What, really, do you say?" Of course, they were saying this to put him to the test, in order to have something with which to accuse him. But Jesus bent down and began to write with his finger in the ground. When they persisted in asking him, he straightened up and said t them: "Let the one of you that is sinless be the first to throw a stone at her." And bending over again he kept on writing in the ground. But those who heard this began going out, one by one, starting with the older men, and he was loft alone, and the woman that was in their mist. Straightening up, Jesus said to her: "Woman, where are they" Did no one condemn you?" She said: "No one, sir." Jesus said: "Neither do I condemn you. go your way; from now on practise sin no more."

In passing, I would be interested to know where in the world they have schools who give such interesting assignmets, right out of the Bible! That is wonderful!!!
