# 6: Condemning, Condoning or Calling (John 8:11)


Jesus said,

"Then neither do I condemn you," Jesus declared. "Go now and leave your life of sin."

John 8:11.

Many cite Jesus' interaction with the woman caught in adultery and her accusers and then point nasty judgemental fingers at the modern conservatives and say, "See, Jesus didn't condemn." But that only holds true if you stop there and make sure you don't finish the verse.

Does Jesus condemn those in sin? No. Does Jesus Condone those in sin? No.

Jesus calls them out of sin.

Go now and leave your life of sin.
