Pathetic. Try to understand something in all of this Outsider. The Lord was here on earth when He said "Let him who is without sin, cast the first stone."

But we should at least give a smidgen of context here I would say. The full verse says "So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her."

The Lord had bent over to write something in the dirt in sight of the woman's accusers. Nobody can really say what He wrote--- possibly the names of a few women. Possibly women to whom the woman's accusers had made advances, or even worse. Whatever He wrote it shut them up like springing a steel trap. But as I have endeavored to explain no man is any better than any other, to include myself.

As I said, the Lord was physically on this earth in the passage you put up. He was here at that point to present Himself as Savior of the Jew first, and then the Gentiles. In other words He could speak for Himself and frankly, nobody else could have as of that point because nobody else even understood what salvation actually was. Not until He defined it by the example of His life. And that includes even the Apostles who only began to fathom what salvation was after watching watching the Lord die on the cross, and then seeing the risen Lord again sometime after He arose on Easter Morning. You see, they thought Messiah was going to be a military leader, and after all. In the Lord's day Israel was under conscription to the state of Rome. But as it turned out to the amazement of all involved, He was actually the Suffering Servant, taking the sin of mankind upon Himself unto the death.

After he rose from the dead the Lord explained to them to their astonishment, that they would go on to do even greater works than He had done while on earth. And that they would do those great works in His name, and that they would establish the Church, against which neither eternity nor the gates of Hell would prevail.

In other words though Jesus did start the work, He was to be here only about 33 years and then He'd be gone. Like a vapor. It would be up to those of the true Church to carry on the work of reaching out to mankind in His name, from His death on the cross until His return just prior to the revealed Antichrist. Or soon after the Rapture of the Church if you will. It is therefore the charter of Christians, whether that be in full time ministry service or just regular Joes like me who know the truth, to reach humanity with the Good News of Christ, the Gospel from that point onward. I do my best to do that. But frankly, I do not believe I must crawl up to men on my belly and grovel out the message. I look them in the eye, or I type it out plainly.
