Assessing a trespass is a judgement. There can be no forgiveness without first a judgement.
It's not that easy.
I would never suggest that the bar that Jesus sets is easy
The bar appears bent, dont judge but forgive those you've deemed trespassers... Maybe judgement is more than merely identifying trespasses. Jesus said if someone wrongs you, tell them so they may (or may not) make amends. What happens if they dont? Forgiveness anyway, personal banishment, call the cops?
Ignoring the subplot of the story of Pharisees testing him, they were not guilty of criticizing the adulteress but condemning her. The verse has come to include hypocritical criticism, like Biden and Trump calling each other liars.
Oh wow, another "libertarian" hypocrite. Why do you care if someone does drugs and has consensual sex with prostitutes? Sounds to me like you're jealous. Maybe the size of Hunter's manhood made you feel emasculated?
It's not surprising that so many libertarian babies ignore their own beliefs to defend their daddy Donald, but it sure is pathetic. Libertarians are a joke!
I'm a fan of drugs and prostitutes, both should be legal. The photos are relevant to identifying the owner of the lap top, not because of Hunter's taste in entertainment. But they do show one of the many hypocrisies of the drug war, a nasty one. Joe Biden spent decades destroying black communities with cruel and usual punishments for young black people while his own blood was the demand side of that equation.

If it wasn't mine I'd say so, the Biden's silence is deafening. I wonder if the FBI has already asked Hunter if its his, seems like the 1st thing they'd find out. They must already know.
Oh yeah, that's a catch. Berzerker keeps complaining about the Democrat war on drugs or something.
Joe made sure millions of people spent time in cages for drugs while Hunter and other connected - privileged - people were treated differently. The drug war is the most hypocritical policy I can think of, an effective replacement for Jim Crow. We need a 2st step act asap and defunding the DEA to pay for helping the people we let out of jail.
"John 8:7 In my analogy the Pharisee is the Biden voter complaining about Trump's corruption."
Me and the Pharisee
I already explained that.
This is what you said:
There's so much wrong with your analogy, so many holes, so many contradictions, but lets address this contradiction first. Is it Biden himself who is supposed to be the Pharisees or is it Biden-voters? Cause those are two totally different things.
In my analogy the Biden voter is the Pharisee complaining about Trump's corruption. Then I brought up Biden complaining about Trump's foreign policy given what Joe has unleashed upon the world. In that situation Biden is the Pharisee.
That wouldn't happen, for too many reasons to enumerate. However, what I will say is that putting your impossible hypothetical aside... that question itself is so you... in that it presumes that everyone thinks as you do, ie respond to criticism with deflection, blame-shifting and whataboutism.
So to respond to the real point of your question generally, if someone criticized me for doing something "wrong" and they were correct, I would acknowledge that I'd done something wrong and apologize, period.
Oh really? I see... So how about Jesus' "alleged" existence... since we're going there, apparently?
If the nature of Jesus is going to be subject to your self-serving "alleged" qualifier whenever its convenient to your argument, then Jesus' words, that you are so fond of invoking, ie "cast the first stone" and so on... carry no more authoritative weight, than Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny.
That was an "if" question, imagine the impossible. If Trump criticized you, would you 'whatabouthim'?
As for Jesus' perfection, that was a debate within the Christian community. I only said alleged because they didn't agree. How could Jesus be human and perfect? You can see the problem. Seems like a subjective argument anyway, whats perfect? But it doesn't matter if Jesus was perfect or not, either his words strike a chord or they ring hollow.
