I notice you couldn’t find Jesus saying that. Just old testament junk.
I remember Jesus and throwing the first stone.

Old testament junk! Wow! You mean like the ten commandments? Yours is an interesting brand of Christianity. Oh yeah, I forgot that bit from the Sermon on the Mount; “Throw away your old testament, there’s a new law in town.” I think Bloch famous painting of the sermon has Jesus sporting a tin star. Thanks for making me smile.

Oddly, there are not many children in the new testament. The story and message is very different.

Yes, Jesus did save a prostitute from stoning. I do not remember him buying or stealing condoms for her, nor did he encourage her to continue in her ways, or suggest that she run her business out of her father’s house. I believe he said, “GO FORTH AND SIN NO MORE.” Sin no more, my friend.

The new testament does not command us to condone sin or even turn a blind eye. It does not even say for us to be non-judgmental (Judge not lest ye be judged is a very different thing.). This is the argument the new pope is using and all the freaks that suggest the church accept homosexuals, women priests, and out of wedlock couples as members. The new Christian tends to believe that faith is all that is necessary, that one may sin, as long as they feel sufficient guilt and repent before death. Sorry, but that is not how it works. We are told to be Christ-like, and if I am not mistaken, he was without sin.
