I guess Timothy Rollins has never sinned.

From my King James version of the Bible:

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
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.
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.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

I seem to remember the President saying something about this at a press conference last year too.

I dunno if that's the best analogy.

From the way I heard the story, the adulteress in question was not demanding that those who wanted to stone her pay for her contraception and medical claims for infectuous diseases derived from her "alternative lifestyle". Nor was she claiming that what she was doing was not only not a sin, but that she takes pride in it, and calling anyone who disagreed a bigot.

I don't think Jesus's line would've had quite the same effect on the crowd if she were.

Qwinn

Jesus told the men not to stone her to death. He didn't tell them and her that adultery is a fine thing and she should continue it, and that everyone should now consider adultery just as good as marriage.

Jesus was loving, SUPPOSEDLY? Do YOU think he was loving? Does someone always show love by approval?

I've been around plenty of children in my time and sometimes one has to lovingly put them in the corner, lovingly yell at them, or even lovingly swat them on the behind.

It is showing love to tell people that same sex sodomy is not marriage, not healthy, not natural, and not normal.
