It is EXACTLY the same thing. He said it when a group of men were about to stone a woman to death for adultery, yet they were guilty of the same thing themselves.

I have no problem with criticizing promiscuity. It is wrong. it is harmful. it is sinful. It leads to many other problems. What i do have a problem with is bashing and bashing a pregnant woman who has already admitted she made a mistake. SHE DID NOT DO IT BY HERSELF. But I see little or no criticism of the father. He deserves MORE criticism since she is the one paying the price and he is the loser not standing there supporting her.

Learn yer damned Bible. He did NOT mean this to mean one cannot observe sin in another and comment on it.

"From this passage we learn that we do not accuse others unless we first thoroughly search our own hearts and minds to make certain that we are pure in every possible aspect (Matthew 7:3). Also, if we must admonish someone, we should do so as instructed in Scripture; we always look to God’s glory and never cause unnecessary division or harm (Matthew 18:15), but we do work to keep the church pure."

If we could not criticize someone because we are sinners, there would be NO criticism or moral direction.

I say we stone him, as the Law of Moses demands.

Actually that passage isn't about the adulteress. It's about all the laws the Pharisees broke.

The law states there needs to be 2 eyewitnesses. There were not.
The law states that both the man and the woman be brought before a judge. The man was not.
The law states that both parties had to be brought before an appointed judge. Jesus was not an appointed judge.

Therefore they broke the law with a false accusation that would result with the Pharisees receiving the punishment meant for her. The passage says that the oldest among them dropped their stones first. That's because they knew what laws they broke trying to trap Jesus in a "Gotcha!".
