      “When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”” ‭‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭7‬ ‭NIV‬‬

        TAKEN INTO CONTEXT, Yeshua was revealing the hypocrisy of the ones charging a woman with adultery. It is believed he wrote their sins in the dirt right before he said that.

          haha what - wait, so in this verse Jesus was not attempting to point out that no one is without sin? It was just that these particular accusers were hypocrites?

          Shit if they had just chosen someone without sin to throw the stones. You know, any of the wide selection of people… unaffected by original sin?

          The fuck was Jesus even here for - let’s just get to stoning everybody! Donald Trump can be the magistrate who decides when someone accused of doing something is guilty. Hallelujah!
