Let all those without Sin ... the real meaning :)

                Remember when the Pharisees were about to stone the woman in the bible?  It was a horrible scene.  This time the biblical Pharisees were trying to get Jesus confused, possibly enough to stone the woman who, in their opinion, had 'broken the law'.  To put it simply, Jesus started writing in the sand the sins of the very men (and we should realize possibly, women) who wanted to see this victim stoned.   "Let those without sin cast the first stone."  By his actions Jesus stopped the stoning.  He then told the woman to 'go, and sin no more'. Forgiveness!
             Time and time again when confronted with the sins of prostitutes and tax collectors reflected upon the greater sins of those who would carry out the execution, those very Pharisees and Sadducees.  When told that fateful time about sexual sins he reflected back at the Pharisees accusing him that 'anyone who lusts for a woman in his heart has already sinned".  I had a tough time with this one for two reasons:(1) how about the women who lust for men (or anyone for that matter) and (2) how could I be attracted to women without the sexual component.  But, the answer to the question as always lay in just WHO Jesus was talking to.  How could the message at one time be 'Be Fruitful and Multiply' and then ... well, stop multiplying!  The question is answered by WHO the message is for!  I stopped about 25 years ago as an undergraduate to search my soul for my religious center.  I then remembered my teachings from the seminary.  I remembered that society was vastly different 2000-4000 years ago.  There were two classes: slaves and free.  The free were many times the rich, the royal, and those who had to fight for their rights ... variations on a militaristic theme.  They were the soldiers, centurions, and even more upper class military members from Spartan-like societies.  And, as we fail to note so often, there were the failures .... the losers of those ancient battles who would in later centuries become vassals, maid servants, and butlers.  They were originally, however, slaves.  No high school, no college, no community schools, and as bad as it was for boys it was worse for girls.  Feel what I'm about to say carefully: in modern day terms the choices were bleak for males being either shepherd or (professional killer) centurion.  Females literally lived in an ancient hell of continuous prostitution from birth .... again slaves; many were of royal birth, or of some importance,  This is why female saints are revered from Joan of Arc to Mother Theresa.  I am male from the modern era and in my ignorance sex is just sex to me.  It took me a long time to make myself think of the hell that is inherited femininity for my human 'sisters'.  Jesus was far ahead of his time, and speaking definitely for our benefit as men to acknowledge the female plight.  When I think of sex, women ARE EXPERIENCING SLAVERY TODAY!!! I DO UNDERSTAND THAT!!!
                                  
              I emulate and actuate the male sexual hero, and women cannot tell the difference between Lex Luthor and Clark Kent (Supermen), because from dating the real actors they have a totally different experience.  HOW WOULD I KNOW THAT BEING STRAIGHT-HETEROSEXUAL????
                  
            Finally, Jesus faced his own accusers not with hatred, but with a love that finally testified that 'the son of man' would be seen arriving on a cloud, ironically not unlike Superman. But, the superman that most women would want is a far cry from what most men would portray.  In any case, the consistent thing about both Jesus and Superman is ....... Mercy! Forgiveness!  It's the thing that makes modern day heroes different from the merciless tyrants of the past.  We've come to the point now that if a doomsday mechanism were put together it would literally destroy both sides of the planet.  Then, who wins? Who casts that stone now? Amen. Anon.
