Ed Normile Posted February 23, 2010 Posted February 23, 2010 [quote name='Sternhauser' date='22 February 2010 - 11:34 PM' timestamp='1266899699' post='2061641'] Her sins were black as night. Just because someone has done evil doesn't make the sins "grey." Jesus never said her sins were in the "grey zone." He sees the good in us. He forgives the evil, but doesn't make the human mistake of saying, "Well, who can judge whether the action was good or evil?" We must acknowledge our actions [i]as[/i] evil before we can ever accept forgiveness. Forgiveness does not contradict the stark reality of distinct good and evil. ~Sternhauser [/quote] Stern I guess it was the "human mistake" of Jesus to say Let those of you without sin cast the first stone. You can not properly judge any action as to how evil or good it is, you can try in your feeble human understanding to vainly place yourself as God's equal and say this is how it is, there is only black and white, ten years from now you will look back at yourself and realize how little you actually know at this time, unless you are somehow debillitated and unable to progress from this point. I ask you if Jesus did not see gray in sin then why would he break the jewish law, laws which he faithfully kept, and not have stoned the adultress? Why did he assault the vendors at the temple, why did he break the sabbath, why did he not honor his parents wishes and be lost for three days? ed

Ok, I get your logic perfectly now.
