Jea 8:3  And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
Jea 8:4  They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Jea 8:5  Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
Jea 8:6  This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
Jea 8:7  So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
Jea 8:8  And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
Jea 8:9  And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
Jea 8:10  When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
Jea 8:11  She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

I brought that story when in a conversation with my wife sooner today and realized for the first time that Jesus IS without sin. He could have condemn the woman but he didn't and forgave her giving her a new way.
Then I thought that this Jesus is the same and the WORD he said then are eternal and will never change.
At the last day, on the judgement, when all will be before Him, he'll look at every men and say who here is without sin?
Then He'll continue: I was not sent to condemn the world but save it, go and sin no more.

We will each give an account of ourselves before the judgement throne of God.

Jesus does not change. :)

When our accusers, and Accuser are left, and we are alone with our Lord, giving our account...Where have our accusers gone?

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of the SPIRIT is eternal life in Christ Jesus.

Ya know its funny that no matter how many times you read a story you always find new ways to think about it, i just had the thought that the woman, according to churchianity, did not "do" her part and ask for forgiveness in order to be forgiven, or at least if she did it was left out of the story.

The Father tells us in John 5 verse 22 that He judges no one, for He has given all judgment, the last judgment and the whole business of judging, entirely into the hands of the Son.

And Jesus says in John 8:15 — I judge you not.

.... right now...?

Sheep, goats, LoF and lots of Revelation verses sound like judgement.
1 Timothy 2:3-4  ...God our Savior;  Who will have all men to be saved...
John 12:47  And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Romans 4:5 But to the one who does not work, but believes in the one who declares the ungodly righteous ...
