"Let he who is without sin cast the first stone..." (I'm sure a theologian will come along and provide the exact wording, chapter and verse soon)
I cannot cast any stones.
On a serious note;
The verse you reference was Jesus talking to a group of men who were about to kill a woman for sleeping with men she wasn't married to. More than likely some of the men about to stone her were the very men she slept with.
The implication here is that these men were about to stone the woman for doing exactly the same thing they were accusing her of.
This doesn't mean that because you lied when you were 12 about breaking a window that you couldn't call out a guy for driving while intoxicated. That would be a total misapplication of the lesson being taught. Otherwise we as parents would not be justified in correcting our children when they commit the same offenses we committed as children. This of course is not what the scripture teaches at all.
I don't really have an opinion here. I just saw all the
and wanted to get my in on the chain.
