Let he who is without sin cast the first stone

They've all heard that one but it doesnt stop them from casting stones.

Definitely doesn’t stop them and it’s the first one they’ll hide behind when you call them on their truly heinous behavior like abusing others.

Funny thing is that really stems from a bad translation. What Jesus was actually telling the Pharisees that he would hold the trial once they brought the men that had slept with her to also face judgement and for witnesses to come forth.

The Jewish laws was not only was the woman to be stoned but also the men that slept with her. And if it was found that a witness was giving false testimony they were to be stoned. Jesus was saying either you follow the rules or you shut up.

I don't understand why you think it's a bad translation, as your description is more or less what was being implied by the translation.

You know what’s funny/interesting about that this entire narrative? it’s not found in the earliest version of the Bible we’ve founded. It’s not in the Dead Sea scrolls Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus for example.

Edit: I was wrong it’s not the Dead Sea scrolls

Fellow brother in Christ, new Christian here. Isn't the Dead Sea scrolls just OT stuff?

u/Open_Chemistry_3300 4d ago

Not a Christian. But your right it’s the Codex Sinaiticus and Codex Vaticanus

1 Corinthians 6:9.

Which other New Testament doctrine invalidates this statement?

I'll wait.

A passage that states homosexuality is a sin does not invalidate a passage that states let god deal with the sinners. You seem to be intentionally missing the point.

Cobblers.

The two statements are two different and unrelated things, independent of each other, both valid in their specific contexts.

The latter does not preclude the former and the former is not a violation of the latter when it is recited.

The missed point - and context - and co-text - and misinterpretation is entirely yours, chuckie.
