Bizarre. You've probed this woman's heart and judged her unrepentant?

Rhymes with "Farrah-See"

No, I never wrote the word.

But since you bring it up, can we draw intelligent conclusions from the following facts?

1) She was living with a man not her husband and had a child by him. 2) Even once she embarked upon a course of action that had a high likelihood of leading to death she didn't renounce her sinful living arrangements, a necessity to making peace with the Lord whome she was offending.

Some of us are old fashioned in our appraoch to living the faith, and think living publicly in a scandalous arrangement requires public renouncement of such an arrangement as evidence of the true fruits of repentance.

BTW, the Pharisee's sin was to praise himself for being so much better than the Publican, rather than praising God for making him righteous and saving him from sin. Where have I done that here?

The Pharisee was not judgemental, but proud. "Judge just judgement" says the Lord.
