No one is better than Adolph.
rick:
I remember reading where Ray said if we had the same circumstances as Adoph we would of done the same thing.
I like how they the Jews brought to Jesus the women who was caught in adultery and knowing the law of Moses that she should be stoned to death heard these words , let he here who is without sin cast the first stone.
I notice not one picked up a stone but all walked away . Under such circumstances as they the Jews standing there that day with Christ, would you of cast the first stone at Adolph ?
God bless.
lareli:
Why is Adolph our go-to guy when trying to illustrate the worst or the most guilty person in history?
I don't think referring to Adolph does your point justice Rick. I agree with your point but Adolph isn't someone any of us ever saw face to face and the culture and circumstances surrounding his life choices are unrelatable to us.
I would ask.. Given the opportunity, would you cast a stone at a violent serial child rapist?
rick:
Hi Largeli,
we never saw the women who committed adultery neither face to face but the violence serial rapist doesn't come close to the atrocities of Adolph .
My apologies for not asking the question as you would of have Largeli but after all Im not you.
God bless.
Kat:
Rick with the understanding that I have now, I would say I would NOT "cast the first stone" towards any person no matter what their sin. And here is my reason why, from the Scripture.
Heb 10:30 For we know Him who said, "Vengeance is Mine; I will repay." And again, "The Lord will judge His people."
v. 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
I'm not just trying to give the proper answer, it is really how I feel. If God really is sovereign and I certainly believe He is, then He has set the path that each and every one of us will walk (Pro 16:9; 20:24). So who am I to think I should judge anybody's life, much less take it upon myself to punish them? I mean I can and do discern by a person's behavior, if I want to be around them or not... but I know everybody is going to give account and I need not take matters into my own hands.
Now I'll admit when watching an evil person on a movie and the 'good' guys finally take him/her out, I feel relieved... I'm trying to figure out if even that is a wrong attitude. Anyway good question to make us think.
mercy, peace and love
Kat

Hi Kat,
I agree with you, I find I have so much less condemnation for everyone in my life as a result of learning Gods trurhs, I understand why the human experience is like it is.
God does change us with each experience in life we have.
God bless.
