You have missed a lot.
Before Jesus died and rose again, they were still in the Old Covenant of the law especially where you see Jesus talking mainly to the self-righteous Pharisees “repent, or you shall perish”, “repent, that your sins may be blotted out”.
But when Jesus talked to a sinner who knew they were a sinner, his tone and approach completely changed. Do you think the story of the woman caught in adultery was about sin? Think again. It was about condemnation. The hypocritical Pharisees, like you, wanted to condemn this woman for her sexual promiscuity. But after showing the Pharisees for the hypocrites they were and are, he turned to the woman and asked, “Has no man condemned you?”
She said, “No man Lord.” He wanted the woman to say she wasn’t condemned. He then said, “Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more.” His no condemnation gave her the ability to go and sin no more.
You would say, “Go and sin no more and I will not condemn you.” But that isn’t what Jesus said then or now. Jesus gave to this adulteress the same blank check of forgiveness and no condemnation he offers to sodomites, murderers and every despicable human being you can think of.
Did Jesus give the law so men would keep it? NO!!! The law was given to show man how hopeless he was to bring him to Christ. “The law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith [NOT the works of the law] Gal 3:24.
But doesn’t the law help us not to sin? NO!!! The law triggers sin and strengthens sin. “The strength of sin is the law” 1 Corinthians 15:56.
So what’s the BIBLICAL (not your) answer for sin? Grace!!! “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law [which triggers sin] but under grace” Rom 6:14.
“Before Jesus died and rose again, they were still in the Old Covenant of the law especially where you see Jesus talking mainly to the self-righteous Pharisees “repent, or you shall perish”, “repent, that your sins may be blotted out”.”
Yet Paul, who started his ministry AFTER Jesus died and rose again, still preached repentance:
“But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.” Acts 26:20
“The hypocritical Pharisees, like you, wanted to condemn this woman...”
Who have I condemned? The only one condemning people here, it seems, is you, who is so quick to throw out this “Pharisee” insult, which is also a violation of the religious forum rules, I might remind you.
“His no condemnation gave her the ability to go and sin no more.”
Yes, certainly grace gives us the ability to not sin anymore, yet we are still instructed not to sin anymore. Never are we instructed to go and continue to sin.
“You would say, “Go and sin no more and I will not condemn you.””
If I had said that, you could quote me on that, but you cannot. So do not try to put words in my mouth and tell me what I would say. You are arguing with your imagination here, not with me.
“So what’s the BIBLICAL (not your) answer for sin? Grace!!! “For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law [which triggers sin] but under grace” Rom 6:14.”
Yes, we are not under the dominion of sin, meaning we are given the power to overcome sin through grace. This does not mean that we have no obligation to overcome sin. The latter proposition is called Antinomianism, a heresy that Paul answered in Romans 6:1-2:
“What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?”
He stresses the relevant point even more in verses 11-14:
“11 In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. 13 Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. 14 For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.”
