You just don't have a clue do you?
Jesus showed her her sin? If you think saying to her go sin no more is pointing out her sin to her, no wonder you are always speaking about and against sin.Christianity is about the righteousness of God not what you and the rest of ya do not approve of. Being conscious of one sets you free, being conscious of the other keeps you in defeat and failure. When you read scripture like a fundamentalists those rocks that they had in their hands to stone her are no different to the beliefs of the fundamentalist.

Exactly Miss Blue, we cannot condemn what we do not approve in another without what we are condemning showing up in our own lives. out we do the same thing and we condemning sinners brings judgement upon ourselves.

It really is amazing how someone can look at that story in the light of such love, grace and mercy being shown by him who had no sin, and try and justify a right to judge sin. Is "you that are without sin", not in the bibles they read ?. I always thought that much of christendom believed they are just poor old miserable sinners saved by grace, well, if they really do believe that, why are they are calling out sin in others thinking they are doing God a service ?.

Remember those words when you type up your next post to condemn those evil / corrupt bible-worshipping bibleans.

Jesus had a few choice words for you too, for condemning everyone and everything you do not approve of.
You need to get over calling everything rude and insulting because people dismiss what you believe and refuse to accept it in any shape or form.

Actually no, I do not do that. Why would you accuse me of such?

I didn't call you anything, I just told you to take you own advice.

Do you not see the irony and the hypocrisy here? You accuse others of condemning people when they dismiss what you believe (or don't approve what you embrace), and on the same breath you tell them to get over the condemnation you dish out.

This is exactly why I said what I said. Remember your own advice.

Not quite.

Whatever one believes is sinful . . . to HIM it is sinful and to do it believing it is sinful IS missing the mark (sinning). But whatever one does in "love of God and each other" is Christian and NOT sin . . . and it cannot BE sinful because of the spiritual state of mind of agape love.
And a true spiritual mind will avoid those things it is said God hates. A false spiritual mind will condone them.

He told that phrase to the woman who was condemned for adultery. He didn't comment on what she had done. John 8. Different story.
The woman at the well was a Samaritan and not a believer or a Jew. Christ wanted to help her truly come to God.

The other woman was a believing Jew and Jesus helped her by encouraging her to sin no more, thus trying to help her avoid losing her relationship with God.

You really have no clue at all!

You obviously do not know the account of the woman at the well and what Jesus said to her. Why do you bother to comment on things you know noting about and then put everyone else down. Are you old enough to be on here alone? Ask your mommy!
