What did Jesus write in the Sand?

I remember some years ago, wanting to be a smartass and using my madness of connection to solve this "mystery" (which may have been "solved" for hundreds of years)

For context - I'm talking about one of the more famous parts from the new testament - were the phrase "Cast the first Stone" comes from.

Basically, to not waste time, the tl;dr of it is that peeps wanna Stone a prostitute and go to Jesus to do some lawgic trap on him.

And then the famous "who is without sin" line comes from, which basically sums up the modern understanding of forgivness and redemption.

But there is another part - where Jesus starts writting something in the sand. But it dpesnt say what.

And here is the question - what was written? Simply all the sins of the elders who got humbled by that? Maybe and that would make sense.

But maybe it was something in a way less and more personal - In the Book Of Ezekiel (I think, hope I double check it) there are lines after lines comparing Israel to a whore, supposeddly being worse than the city of Sodom (famous for being destroyed by Brimstone - rocks thrown from above - see the stoning conection?)

So in a way, it was maybe using the text against the scholars, the text that they said they defend made them repent from their actions.

Because if they condemened to prostitute to death for promiscuity, without offering forgivness, what shall be the fate of Israel?

That would maybe also explain why the elders left first - they knew the texts and logic better so they realised its GG sooner, while the young ones were spiritual noobs so to speak.

But as I said, maybe this is stupid or simple and I'm just ignorant, and in that case -

Yeah...Sorry

The universal fault of hypocrisy

The universal fault of hypocrisy

Believers need to always be on guard against unfair judgment. Matthew 7:1 – “Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged.” Over the centuries, many believers have looked at Yeshua’s command to not judge others as an indication that believers should never be critical of others at all. However, to do so is a failure to continue in the context of the passage. Matthew 7:2-3 – “For you will be judged…

O Harlot, Hear the Word of the Lord

35 Wherefore, O harlot, hear the word of the Lord:

36 Thus saith the Lord God; Because thy filthiness was poured out, and thy nakedness discovered through thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols of thy abominations, and by the blood of thy children, which thou didst give unto them;

37 Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, with whom thou hast taken pleasure, and all them that thou hast loved, with all them that thou hast hated; I will even gather them round about against thee, and will discover thy nakedness unto them, that they may see all thy nakedness.

38 And I will judge thee, as women that break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will give thee blood in fury and jealousy.

39 And I will also give thee into their hand, and they shall throw down thine eminent place, and shall break down thy high places: they shall strip thee also of thy clothes, and shall take thy fair jewels, and leave thee naked and bare.

40 They shall also bring up a company against thee, and they shall stone thee with stones, and thrust thee through with their swords.

41 And they shall burn thine houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women: and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou also shalt give no hire any more.

42 So will I make my fury toward thee to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, and will be no more angry.

43 Because thou hast not remembered the days of thy youth, but hast fretted me in all these things; behold, therefore I also will recompense thy way upon thine head, saith the Lord God: and thou shalt not commit this lewdness above all thine abominations.

44 Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, As is the mother, so is her daughter.

45 Thou art thy mother's daughter, that lotheth her husband and her children; and thou art the sister of thy sisters, which lothed their husbands and their children: your mother was an Hittite, and your father an Amorite.

46 And thine elder sister is Samaria, she and her daughters that dwell at thy left hand: and thy younger sister, that dwelleth at thy right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.

47 Yet hast thou not walked after their ways, nor done after their abominations: but, as if that were a very little thing, thou wast corrupted more than they in all thy ways.

48 As I live, saith the Lord God, Sodom thy sister hath not done, she nor her daughters, as thou hast done, thou and thy daughters.

49 Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

50 And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.

51 Neither hath Samaria committed half of thy sins; but thou hast multiplied thine abominations more than they, and hast justified thy sisters in all thine abominations which thou hast done.

52 Thou also, which hast judged thy sisters, bear thine own shame for thy sins that thou hast committed more abominable than they: they are more righteous than thou: yea, be thou confounded also, and bear thy shame, in that thou hast justified thy sisters.

53 When I shall bring again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, then will I bring again the captivity of thy captives in the midst of them:

54 That thou mayest bear thine own shame, and mayest be confounded in all that thou hast done, in that thou art a comfort unto them.

55 When thy sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate, and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate, then thou and thy daughters shall return to your former estate.

56 For thy sister Sodom was not mentioned by thy mouth in the day of thy pride,

57 Before thy wickedness was discovered, as at the time of thy reproach of the daughters of Syria, and all that are round about her, the daughters of the Philistines, which despise thee round about.

58 Thou hast borne thy lewdness and thine abominations, saith the Lord.

59 For thus saith the Lord God; I will even deal with thee as thou hast done, which hast despised the oath in breaking the covenant.

60 Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee in the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant.

61 Then thou shalt remember thy ways, and be ashamed, when thou shalt receive thy sisters, thine elder and thy younger: and I will give them unto thee for daughters, but not by thy covenant.

62 And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord:

63 That thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God. — Ezekiel 16:35-63 | King James Version (KJV) The King James Version Bible is in the public domain Cross References: Genesis 9:15; Genesis 13:10; Genesis 13:13; Numbers 21:5; Deuteronomy 22:22; 1 Samuel 24:13; 2 Samuel 24:25; 1 Kings 16:31; 2 Kings 16:5; 2 Kings 25:9; Psalm 78:24; Isaiah 24:5; Jeremiah 2:26; Jeremiah 3:8; Jeremiah 3:11; Jeremiah 19:5; Jeremiah 24:7; Jeremiah 50:4-5; Ezekiel 23:26; Ezekiel 23:47; Ezekiel 23:49; Ezekiel 26:6; Ezekiel 36:11; Matthew 10:15; Luke 12:16; Romans 3:19; Revelation 11:8; Revelation 17:16

“God raised Jesus from the dead, and we are all witnesses of this.” —Acts 2:32 (NLT)

“Then the Lord said to me, “Son of man, can these bones come to life?” I answered, “Lord GOD, only you know the answer to that question.” Then he said to me, “Speak to these bones for me. Tell them, ‘Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord! This is what the Lord GOD says to you: I will cause breath to come into you, and you will come to life! I will put sinew and muscles on you, and I will cover you with skin. Then I will put breath in you, and you will come back to life! Then you will know that I am the Lord.’” —Ezekiel 37:3‭-‬6 (ERV)

“I have always kept the Lord in front of me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me. That's why I'm so happy! That's why I am full of joy! That's why my body lives in hope! For you will not abandon me in the grave, nor will you allow your Holy One to experience decay. You have shown me the path of life, filling me with joy with your presence and the delight of living with you forever.” —Psalm 16:8-‬11 (FBV)

“For God’s promise of the Holy Spirit is for you and your families, for those yet to be born and for everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.”—Acts 2:39 (TPT)

“Easter Explained: An 8-Day Guide to Celebrating Holy Week.” A Devotional By Spoken Gospel - Day 7: “Holy Saturday”:

“For the last 1,600 years, Christians around the world remember the last days of Jesus' life during Holy Week. Today is Holy Saturday. Holy Saturday remembers the day Jesus rested in his tomb. We know relatively little about what happened during the day Jesus lay buried in his tomb.

We know that it was a Sabbath day, a day of rest for faithful Jews. And we know that the religious leaders were afraid. Jesus had claimed he would rise from the dead on the third day (Matthew 27:62-63). They were worried Jesus' disciples might try to steal his body and pretend he rose from the dead, making their problems worse. So they asked the Roman governor to post guards at Jesus' tomb to prevent any false resurrections (Matthew 27:64-65). Not much else is known about what happened on this particular Saturday.

And that might be part of this day's significance. Jesus is dead because nothing is supposed to happen. There are no more miracles to be done, no more Jewish laws to fulfill, no more sin to atone for, and no more powers to fight. On the cross Jesus said, 'It is finished' (John 19:30). Everything Jesus came to do, he did. So with nothing left to accomplish, Jesus rested. At the very least, this means we can rest too. If Jesus rested knowing there was nothing left to do in order to save his people, we can rest knowing that Jesus has done everything to make us his people.

One of Jesus' ancestors, King David, wrote: '...my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my body also will rest in hope, because you will not abandon me to the realm of the dead, you will not let your faithful one see decay' (Psalm 16:9-10). God had once promised David that his dynasty would last forever, and even after he rested in death, God would raise one of his sons to rule God's people forever (2 Samuel 7:12-13). David was confident that God would preserve, protect, and provide for his dynasty even through and beyond death. He knew that his death would not be the end of his dynasty or God's promises.

Holy Saturday is a day of mourning, but not a day without hope. Jesus' day in the tomb reminds us that we will all know death. We will watch the death of our loved ones. Eventually, we will all fall asleep one last time. But Holy Saturday is good news because Jesus announces that death is never more than a nap. In Jesus, death is a day of rest before the dawn of a new creation and a much needed break before a new era of renewed and resurrection life.

So I pray that on this Holy Saturday you would accept that Jesus' death proves the depths of God's promises. There is nothing you can do to add to them because God can resurrect us even from our graves.”

You are not beyond GOD's grace, even when GOD gives them over to this way of thinking & living. Listen to what the Apostle Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 6:9-11.

These are some of the most hopeful verses in the Bible, when we are thinking of GOD giving people & societies up to judgment, granting them their desires to desire their own sexual suicide.

Listen to what he says in v.9-11

1 Corinthians 6:9-11 | Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the Kingdom of GOD? Do not be deceived:

Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, ¹⁰ nor thieves, nor greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of GOD.

¹¹ And that is what some of you were. But you're washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the Name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST & by the SPIRIT of our GOD.

Sounds like being given over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh so his spirit may be saved [1 Corinthians 5:5] & similar to communion some of you have fallen asleep [1 Corinthians 11:30]

1 Corinthians 5:5 | ⁵ hand this man over to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, so that his spirit may be saved on the Day of the LORD.

1 Corinthians 11:30 | ³⁰ That is why many among you are weak & sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

It estimates its six humanitarian ships helped save more than 81,000 lives at sea.
