I have high confidence that such is the case.
My go-to evidence is the woman caught in adultery.
Jesus said “let him who is without sin cast the first stone”. Everyone turned away.
The thing to note is that Jesus WAS without sin and COULDA cast that first stone.
He doesn’t want to.
He takes in what others have to say, He processes it, and His end result is more fair than fair while upholding the LAW.
Now THAT’S a God I can love with all my heart, mind, and soul.
beautiful, never thought of that scene in that way. He was the only one present without sin and He wasn’t condemning her.
Very beautiful scene of our Lord, thank you.
This sharing of what the Lord shows to us his co heirs is very enriching.
John 12: 44 - 48
Then Jesus cried out, “Whoever believes in me does not believe in me only, but in the one who sent me. The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me. I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me should stay in darkness.
“If anyone hears my words but does not keep them, I do not judge that person. For I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world. There is a judge for the one who rejects me and does not accept my words; the very words I have spoken will condemn them at the last day.”
You're making this easy...
While Jesus upholds the law, no one else does, ever...If you demand that you be judged by the good you do or did you have to realize one thing...The rules are pretty tough...You can't do good in some things but be a little slack in others...If you have failed in ANY of the laws you are just as guilty as if you violated all the laws...And will pay the price accordingly..
The good/great news is Jesus does not judge with the law as the standard to be judged against for Christians...The law is no longer nailed to the door for us to read and follow...The law is now embedded into our hearts...And like you, we don't have to do good, we want to do good...And if we fail, we get back up and continue on...I don' know your motive but we do it because we love God and that's what he wants us to do...Maybe you're already saved and just bereft of anything the bible says...
