Jesus' word to homosexuals

onenewsnow.com ^ | May 11, 2015 | Bryan Fischer

[PROCON]

Homosexual activists don't want Jesus' forgiveness for their sexual sin – they want his approval. This is something he cannot and will never offer.

Homosexual activists are fond of quoting the first half of John 8:11: "Neither do I condemn you." They are not so fond of quoting the second half. In fact, they quite pointedly ignore it as if it weren't even there. But wishing it away doesn't make it disappear.

John 7:53-8:11 preserves for us the record of Jesus' encounter with a woman caught in adultery. She was apprehended in flagrante delicto, in the act, and was dragged by the scribes and Pharisees to the feet of Jesus.

(There is no word, by the way, about the fate of the miscreant male in this sexually illicit liaison.)

The scribes and Pharisees insisted that she be executed and that Jesus be the one to pronounce the sentence. Instead, Jesus stooped and wrote something on the ground, and finally stood up and authorized any sinless man in the crowd to toss the first rock. (Since he was the only one without sin, he alone had the moral authority to stone her to death.)

[PROCON]

Nothing to say but, Amen.

[Trapped Behind Enemy Lines]

After Jesus forgives sinner, He says “Go, and sin no more!”

[Yosemitest]

Homosexuals aren't "born that way".
They had to "Earn their REPROBATE MIND" by refusing God ~ not once, ~ not twice, ~ but THREE times!

You need to not only read, BUT STUDY this link
I especially agree with its last paragraph.

" The Church NEVER can and NEVER will give satisfaction—
and the homosexualist knows it,
for he knows the words against him are INERADICABLE
—to the declared and impenitent homosexual,
the person who, through an act of the vermiculate will,
has identified his person with a sin,
whether HE DEMANDS ACCEPTANCE OF HIS SIN
through "love,"
or VINDICATION
THROUGH IDENTIFICATION OF HIS PERCEIVED ENEMIES AS BIGOTS.
Whether HE PRESENTS HIMSELF as an object of love or indignation,
what HE DEMANDS in either case IS ACCEPTANCE
not of the person,
but OF THE SIN-bound and SIN-DEFINED person.
HE DEMANDS the declaration of SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY that
THERE IS NOTHING OBJECTIVELY DISORDERED about this BINDING OF MAN TO SIN,
and ASSURANCE that THIS MONSTROUS AMALGAM can indeed ENTER the kingdom of heaven.
This can NEVER HAPPEN among Christians UNTIL THEY ABANDON Christianity,
WHICH IS AT WAR WITH EVERY SIN,
and whose indelible constitution
places ALL PERVERSIONS of the perfect man
AT THE MUZZLE of its canons. "

There will be NO HOMOSEXUALS ( NOT ONE ) in the afterlife.
They WILL BE ASHES UNDER the soles of your feet ! ! !



TO TOLERATE HOMOSEXUALS IS EVIL.
This is what we get when we FAIL to OBEY God.
For it is written:

“ For whosoever shall commit ANY of these abominations,
even the SOULS that commit them
SHALL BE CUT OFF from among their people. ”

Those who support homosexuals are against our Heavenly Father and His Son Jesus Christ.
These anti Christ people only bring destruction on us ALL.
I have NO sympathy for homosexuals!

Homosexuality is a "Mark" of disobedience.

It was given by our Heavenly Father to test us
to see ... if we will OBEY our Heavenly Father,
and abide by His commandments, statues, and ordinances.

Someone once asked

"Why are they [homosexuals] all so angry?"

The answer is in the definition of "REPROBATE".

rep·ro·bate \ˈre-prə-ˌbāt\ a. [L. reprobatus, reprobo, to disallow; re and probo, to prove.]

1. Not enduring proof or trial; not of standard purity or fineness; disallowed; rejected.


Reprobate silver shall men call them, because the Lord hath rejected them. Jer. 6.




2. Abandoned in sin; lost to virtue or grace.

They profess that they know God, but in works deny him, being abominable and disobedient, and to every good work reprobate. Titus 1.

3. Abandoned to error, or in apostasy. 2Tim. 3.

And the reason"why" is given in the Bible.

God has a cure for homosexuals.

But will we OBEY our Heavenly Father?

"Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect
that God is just,
that his justice cannot sleep forever."

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that the author didn't mention the words of the second half of the verse in this paragraph?

I am still looking for it....Hummmm??

[Salvation]

I looked for it too.

Jesus stooped and wrote something on the ground

Some on FR speculated that He drew a cartoon of Muhamed.

(There is no word, by the way, about the fate of the miscreant male in this sexually illicit liaison.)

I recently visited a Sunday School class were this very thing was discussed. It was interesting, to say the least.

The consensus was that the miscreant male was somebody who was pretty important, possibly even a member of the group who was in such a big hurry to get her stoned and kill the evidence.

Of course, that doesn't make it so, but it would certainly explain the clamor for swift "justice" and the melting away after the brief statement of Jesus.

The lead post is an excerpt. Follow the link for the rest of the verse and further commentary.

The scribes and Pharisees, beginning with the most mature among them, began to slink away in silent shame, retracting their self-righteous condemnation through their guilty retreat. Jesus, the one man who did have the right to put her to death, said, "Neither do I condemn you." But then he immediately added these powerful words: "Go, and from now on sin no more."

[MortMan]

I know the rest of the verse, however I was remarking on the fact that the author decries omission in the same paragraph he omitted.

[Salvation]

John 8

 

2 Early in the morning he came again to the temple; all the people came to him, and he sat down and taught them.

3 The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery, and placing her in the midst

4 they said to him, "Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery.

5 Now in the law Moses commanded us to stone such. What do you say about her?"

6 This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

7 And as they continued to ask him, he stood up and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."

8 And once more he bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.

9 But when they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the eldest, and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.

10 Jesus looked up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"

11 She said, "No one, Lord." And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you; go, and do not sin again."

Only an excerpt was posted. Perhaps the key phrase was in the rest of the article?

Not at all. Those of us who are familiar with the passage know it well. Those who are not should be forced to look it up.

Sort of like this graphic with only the reference Proverbs 26:11 quoted:

[Dan(9698)]

Jesus gave her an opportunity to repent.

The other person didn't ask for forgiveness.

We do not know what happened to either of them.

We do not know if the woman took advantage of the
opportunity to repent.

We are all given an opportunity to repent, but
it is up to us if we take advantage of the opportunity.

[ctdonath2]

Um...what’s posted above is an excerpt of the article. The author quotes the entire verse in the rest of the article, which you can find at the link provided. He presents the truncated verse as truncated, then elaborates on the cause of truncation, and then proceeds into the rest of the un-truncated verse. There’s nothing wrong with the article’s presentation - when you read the un-truncated article.

You’re complaining about truncation in a truncated article about truncation. I need a drink.

OH where is my LIKE button?? Your comment was great!

[FNU LNU]

“Since he was the only one without sin, he alone had the moral authority to stone her to death.”

Would this mean that no one could ever be stoned to death for adultery, since no one was sinless except Jesus?

And, since Jesus was not a witness to her adultery, could he have stoned her to death? Under the law, no one could be put to death for any sin, except at the mouth of two or three witnesses.

[Vigilanteman]

There is no evidence that she repented from the John 8 passage. She just walked away. I think it is likely that she did, but I don’t think the main point of the passage is Jesus offering forgiveness; it is just a more dramatic example of him condemning those who point out the mote in their neighbor’s eye while missing the beam in their own.

[SeaHawkFan]

The omission of the second half of the verse is a “hook” to get people to read the res of the article.

No need to ascribe any other intent.
