He that is without sin...

 

John 8:7

 

So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him cast a stone for her.

According to the Gospel of John, the Pharisees, in an attempt to discredit Jesus, brought a woman charged with adultery before him. Then they reminded Jesus that adultery was punishable by stoning under Mosaic Law and challenged him to judge the woman so that they might then accuse him of disobeying the law. Jesus thought for a moment and then replied, “He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone at her.” The people crowded around him were so touched by their own consciences that they departed. When Jesus found himself alone with the woman, he asked her who were her accusers. She replied, “No man, lord.” Jesus then said, “Neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more."

 

I have been watching the hearings and listening to the news about Brett Kavanaugh. 

There are no constitutional qualifications for a Supreme Court Justice. No age, citizenship, or experience rules exist. They don't even have to have a law degree. The President nominates who he think would be a good choice and then the Senate votes.  

 

They have dragged that poor man and his family through the mud.  My husband always said he would never run for any kind of office, because the media would find things about us and our family that we didn't know existed.

 

All of us have things in our past that we are not proud of.

So, if you are without sin, go ahead and cast that first stone, but examine your own heart first.

 

I'm so thankful that we have a loving God full of mercy and grace. A God who forgives our sins and remembers them no more.

I wanted to add a note to my blog. I think rape, sexual molestation, or sexual perversion is horrible. People carry around scars the rest of their life from things that have happened to them. And if Kavanaugh is guilty of what they are accusing him of, then by all means he should suffer the consequences.
