#John 8

[tabernacleheart]

Whosoever, He said, commits sin, whether Jew or Greek, rich or poor, king or beggar, is the servant of sin. O miserable bondage! ...when wearied with the hardness of his tasks... whither does the slave of sin flee? He takes it along with him, wherever he goes; for his sin is within him. The pleasure passes away, but the sin does not pass away: its delight goes, its sting remains behind. He alone can free from sin, Who came without sin, and was made a sacrifice for sin. [With these truths,] Christ purposely alarms us first, and then gives us hope. He alarms us, that we may not love sin; He gives us hope, that we may not despair of the absolution of our sin. Our hope then is this, that we shall be freed by Him who is free. He has paid the price for us, not in money, but in His own blood: If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. Not from the barbarians, but from the devil; not from the captivity of the body, but from the wickedness of the soul. [Now] the first stage of freedom is, the abstaining from sin. But that is only incipient, it is not perfect freedom: for the flesh still lusts against the spirit, so that you do not do the things that you would. Full and perfect freedom will only be, when the contest is over, and the last enemy, death, is destroyed. Do not then abuse your freedom, for the purpose of sinning freely; but use it in order not to sin at all. Your will will be free, if it be merciful: you will be free, if you become the servant of righteousness.

What did Jesus write in the Sand?

I remember some years ago, wanting to be a smartass and using my madness of connection to solve this "mystery" (which may have been "solved" for hundreds of years)

For context - I'm talking about one of the more famous parts from the new testament - were the phrase "Cast the first Stone" comes from.

Basically, to not waste time, the tl;dr of it is that peeps wanna Stone a prostitute and go to Jesus to do some lawgic trap on him.

And then the famous "who is without sin" line comes from, which basically sums up the modern understanding of forgivness and redemption.

But there is another part - where Jesus starts writting something in the sand. But it dpesnt say what.

And here is the question - what was written? Simply all the sins of the elders who got humbled by that? Maybe and that would make sense.

But maybe it was something in a way less and more personal - In the Book Of Ezekiel (I think, hope I double check it) there are lines after lines comparing Israel to a whore, supposeddly being worse than the city of Sodom (famous for being destroyed by Brimstone - rocks thrown from above - see the stoning conection?)

So in a way, it was maybe using the text against the scholars, the text that they said they defend made them repent from their actions.

Because if they condemened to prostitute to death for promiscuity, without offering forgivness, what shall be the fate of Israel?

That would maybe also explain why the elders left first - they knew the texts and logic better so they realised its GG sooner, while the young ones were spiritual noobs so to speak.

But as I said, maybe this is stupid or simple and I'm just ignorant, and in that case -

Yeah...Sorry

#Also sorry for being a dick in general and casting stones #Bible #New Testament #John 8 #Ezekiel 16 #theology #bible study #I guess #see I can do something more random than one would guess lol #also not really a political post realised it only after ofcourse Im against Israel doing genocide and occupying land but I dont think/1 #/2 a tumblr blog is the best place to agitate #3/ looks just kinda ehh to me when people draw wacky fanart while actuall people are dieing while one is collecting likes and reblogs #but if that sounds controversila to say yeah... sorry🤷‍♂️ #Also hope nobody thinks Im calling Crona Jesus because he drew with a stick lol just a funny picture idea #if anything Crona is more of a redeemed Anti-christ figure but you gotta wait for the iceberg for that

15th Hebrews 13:8 Psalm 107:18 Psalm 34:8

Sermon John 8:1 - 11

What has the Bible have to do with anything? Everything! Context: Jesus at the Feast of Tabernacles. (John 7) The Jewish leaders wanted to get him.

The woman caught in adultery.

Ark of the Covenant The mercy seat.

Jesus writing on the ground. The finger of God. Daniel 5 Beltshazar using the instruments from the Temple vs 25 - 28 His days were numbered. So was the system set up by the Jewish Leaders in the Temple.

vs 7 If any be without sin.

Desire mercy not sacrifice.

vs 9 The older ones may have been more aware of their own sins.

God is kind, but He is not soft.

He is the light of the world.

What other hope?

Challenge: Share the story of the woman with at least one other person.

John 8, Reed's Version

⟦ So everybody went home.

But Jesus went up the mountain of olive groves. The next morning he went into the temple courts, as he was accustomed. The people all flocked to him so he sat down and taught them. But then some of the religious experts and Pharisees walked up with a woman who had been caught committing adultery, and they made her stand in front of everyone. “Teacher,” they said, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery. The law of Moses says that the penalty is to be stoned to death. Do you agree?” But they only asked this in an attempt to trap him, so they could bring official charges against him. Jesus, however, just knelt down and drew in the dirt with his finger. But they stood there waiting for an answer, so Jesus finally stood up and said, “If there’s one of you who has never sinned, he may throw a stone first.” And he knelt down again to write in the dirt. At this, they all slowly walked away, beginning with the older ones, until Jesus was left there alone with the woman in front of him. So Jesus stood up and asked, “Is there no one left to accuse you?” “No one, sir,” she replied. Jesus said, “I don’t, either. Now go on your way, and don’t sin any more.”⟧

Another time Jesus was speaking to the crowds, and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me you’ll no longer have to walk through spiritual darkness because you’ll have my life-giving light.” But the Pharisees objected, “No witness can testify about himself! Your testimony’s not valid.” But Jesus replied, “I am testifying about myself, but it’s still valid because it’s no human testimony. I came from heaven, and I will return there. But you won’t accept this truth. You Pharisees judge superficially; I haven’t come to judge anybody. And when I do judge it’s a legitimate evaluation because it’s not only from me but also from the Father, who sent me. Doesn’t your own law state that if two people agree then their testimony is valid? I am one witness about myself, and my Father, who sent me, is the second.” But the Pharisees retorted, “Well, where is this father of yours? He must be present to testify!” Jesus answered, “You don’t know me at all, or my Father. If you knew me, you’d know who my Father was.” This conversation took place by the temple treasury, where he was teaching. But no one tried to arrest him, because it wasn’t his time.

Another time Jesus told the religious leaders, “I’m going away soon. And even though you’ll expect a pardon, you’ll die under the penalty for your sin. Where I’m going you can’t follow.” So they asked one another, “He’s not going to commit suicide, is he? Is that why he says, ‘Where I’m going you can’t follow’?” But Jesus responded, “You belong to the lower realm; I to the upper. You belong to this world; I do not. That’s why I said you will die from your sins. Unless you believe that I am who I say I am, you’ll die from your sins.” Again they mocked him, “Tell us, who do you claim to be?” Jesus replied, “I’ve told you many times already. And I have a lot to say about you, too. It’s condemning, but I must. I only speak in the world what I hear from my Master, and He doesn’t lie.” But they didn’t realize that he was referring to the Father. So Jesus told them, “Soon you’ll put me up on a cross, and on that day Israel will know that I am the Son of Man. I don’t speak on my own authority, but only as the Father has taught me to speak. Although He sent me here, He’s also here with me. He’s never left my side because He’s happy with everything I do.” And as he spoke, many people there believed in him.

So Jesus turned to address those people. “If you do not stray from my teaching then you are truly my apprentices. Then you will know truth and the truth will set you free.” But some objected, “Set us free? What do you mean? We’re descendents of Abraham! Freedom is our birthright. We’ve never been in slavery to anybody.” Jesus responded, “Everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now, a slave isn’t part of the household; they can be dismissed at any time. But a son is always part of the family. Now if the son frees you, you are truly free! You’re technically Abraham’s descendants, and yet you’re trying to kill me! It’s because you’ve impervious to my teaching. I’m only speaking what I’ve received from the Father; you also must do what He’s told you to do.”

In reply they told him, “Our father is Abraham!” But Jesus said, “If you were Abraham’s children, you’d behave like he did. But instead, you’re trying to kill me, an innocent man! My only crime is speaking to you what I learned from God. Abraham was no murderer! No, you’re behaving like your real father.” But they objected, “Are you calling us illegitimate children!? No, God is our one father!” So Jesus told them, “If God were your Father, you would love His Son, because God is the source of my being and I came here from His side. I’m not here for my own purposes; I’m doing His work. Why don’t you understand what I’m telling you? It’s because you’re deaf to my message. You belong to your real father, the devil, and you aim to imitate his cravings. He was a murderer from the beginning, and he shuns God’s truth; there is nothing true in him. So when he speaks lies he’s speaking his native language; he is a liar and the father of lies. But I tell you the truth, and yet you won’t believe me. Can any of you show me to be guilty of sin? No? So why won’t you believe that I speak the truth? Those who belong to God will listen to His words. And that’s why you won’t listen to God; you don’t belong to Him.”

Then the Jewish leaders replied, “You’re insane and a heretic! How are we wrong?” But Jesus answered, “If I were insane, my goal wouldn’t be to honor my Father. Yet you insult Him by insulting me. Not that I care if you insult me, but God cares — and He will judge you. You can be sure of this: if you obey my teaching, in eternity you will never undergo death.” But they retorted, “Now we’re sure you’re insane! Keeping God’s teaching didn’t stop our ancestor Abraham or all the prophets from dying. How can you say, ‘Obey my teaching and you will never die’? Do you think you’re greater than Abraham? He died, and all the prophets died. Just who do you think you are?” Jesus replied, “I’m not praising myself. If I were, that praise would mean nothing. It’s my Father who praises me, the same one you claim as your God. You think you know Him, but you don’t. But I do know him. If I said I didn’t, I’d be a liar, much like yourselves! I know him and I obey His commands. Your ancestor Abraham was excited for the Messiah to come, and he was permitted to see it, to his joy.” But the Jewish leaders retorted, “You’re only a middle-aged man, and yet you say you have seen Abraham?” Jesus said, “This is true: before Abraham was born, I am.” At this, they picked up stones to hurl at him, but Jesus disappeared into the crowd and left the temple courts.

The Truth About You (John 8:21-30)

Our self-identification matters.

Once more Jesus said to them, “I am going away, and you will look for me, and you will die in your sin. Where I go, you cannot come.” This made the Jews ask, “Will he kill himself? Is that why he says, ‘Where I go, you cannot come’?” But he continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not…

JOHN S.O.A.P. ~ CHAPTER 8

Wednesday, 10/19/22

SCRIPTURE:

Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow Me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”   ~ John 8:12

OBSERVATION:

Walking in the darkness leads to stumbling and running into things...

My bride and I walked down to her dad's last night around sunset to check on "one more thing" ahead of closing on its sale this week (? next week?), and about half-way down, despite knowing the trail, got turned around a bit and had to backtrack - thank goodness for flashlights on the cell phone... right?

Still, there was the occasional root or branch that caught us "by surprise" - and there being no lights on at the place just added to the sense of "don't we know where we're going?"

The return walk was a bit easier - especially at the end as the lights were on at our house...

The Word is "a lamp unto my feet" - showing the next step and then the next step, but not the full "path" - despite my thinking I KNOW where I'm going...

...and my puny little cell phone flashlight sucks the battery... Jesus's light is so much brighter and never waivers...

Jesus is light of the world - following Him step-by-step shows me my next step - but also "illuminates" where (and with Whom), I'll be...

...though because of my sinfulness, I'll still find the occasional root or branch to trip me up or snag me along the way... despite being able to see them, sometimes in enough time to avoid them...

APPLICATION:

Focus on the next step...

...and then the next step...

...and then...

Follow His light...

PRAYER:

Loving Father God - forgive my wanting to forge ahead by my own sight and feeble strength - Thank You that Your Spirit illuminates the way that Jesus led and leads, and may I focus on the next step as it appears, knowing the destination is to come into Your glory and radiance, but that the path - the Way - is in surrendering my will to blunder onward on my own to Your grace and Jesus's leading and example of sacrifice for others and to Your will and for Your kingdom... In Jesus's Name, Father, and for Your glory and worship and praise...

For Him... for you... for yours...

[tabernacleheart]

[Note] Christ’s method with the sinner: To save her soul was evidently our Lord’s one thought. And He proceeded to do it in His own strange, loving way, as only He can do it. What that sin of hers was to Him, the Infinitely Pure, accustomed to the chastenesses of heaven, only the purest among us, can, in the smallest measure, see! [And yet,] mark how [that] sin affected Him. It did not alienate Him for a moment. It did not separate Him. She was never despised. She was not degraded. She was not even reproached. [Rather,] He would bring her to penitence, that He may bring her to peace. And how will He do it? By love; all love. The past is not mentioned. He raises her. He expels sin by virtue; an old feeling by a new affection. He makes Himself attractive and lovely to a heart lonely, as only sin can make us lonely. ‘Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?’ Observe in her answer a confidingness; a ray of good; an awe. She said, ‘No man. Lord.’ And then, so instant, so free, so generous, so good, so like Himself— ‘Neither do I condemn thee; go, and sin no more.’ See what Jesus would be, at that moment, to that woman! How she would love Him! How she would be always trying to please Him! How she would draw close to Him! [See, too, how] where sin is the greatest, [Christ is ever more the] gentlest! And [He will] treat everybody hopefully.

Kinktober Day 8 - Breeding

John Price x Reader - 1k (on ao3)

summary: You worry that your boss sees your relationship as more long-term than you do. (Reader POV, second person)

cw: implied stealthing, under negotiated breeding kink, one-sided daddy kink

You tell yourself it’s just a kink.

You’re not ready to become a mother - you’d like to be married for at least a year before even trying for a baby, and you’d like to have an established career before even getting married. For you, the idea of a bun in the oven is so far down the line it’s not even visible on the horizon yet.

But you know it’s not the same for Price. He’s older than you, has lived a far wilder life and lost it what must be nearly a dozen times over. He’s a weathered man, with deep lines on his forehead and wrinkles around his eyes, just the tiniest hint of silver creeping into his beard.

You know it’s not smart to have a fling with him. Not only is he your boss and a controversially older man, but he’s also the exact opposite of a commitment-phobe like you. He’s always looking for more commitment in fact, something you hadn’t expected considering the illicitness of your relationship with him.

You'd assumed an affair with your boss would involve mostly quickies in closets, a refusal to be in the same room as one another during the workday, maybe even pretending to dislike each other around other coworkers. Instead, he talks to you more once you start sleeping together than he had before - he parks himself on your desk at any time he pleases, invites you to have lunch in his office with him (alone), and laughs when your co-workers call him your work-husband.

So you know that he wants more, that he wants you to really be with him (he hints at far more than just that, but doesn’t dare say it aloud, which you’re glad for) past just being his secretary and his fuckbuddy. 

In fact, he’d nearly torn you into two when you’d giggled and called him a “bootycall” after he called you back into work hours after you’d gone home. His face had gone from eager and affectionate to what you can only call scolding, and he’d been rougher with you than normal. You enjoy a few smacks to your ass, but that night he’d spanked you hard enough to leave you squirming the next morning when you sat at your desk. You’d been pouty about it, had glared only half-playfully at him when he smirked, but the way he ate you out on his desk for lunch more than made up for the discomfort. 

And he makes these… comments sometimes, while he’s buried inside you. Things that allude to a future you’re not ready for.

Gotta come after me, sweetheart, it takes better like that.

Hips up, don’t let any of me drip out.

Gonna make me a daddy, pretty thing? Huh? Gonna take my cum and grow me a baby?

My good fuckin’ girl, lettin’ me breed her pretty cunt.

Gonna look so pretty, all round for me. Gonna take such good care of you.

C’mon, honey, wanna make sure it sticks this time.

You tell yourself it’s just a kink. He plugs you up with a couple fingers once he’s finished, says “Just to make sure you don’t lose any of my cum, can’t be wastin’ it right now,” and licks your clit until your legs shake. 

He hardly fucks you in any position that isn’t bent over his desk, no matter how much you whine and beg for me. He just smacks your ass, gives you an extra orgasm or two to keep you placated. More often than not he leaves you bent over the desk after he’s finished, tilts your hips up a little higher and gives you a kiss on the temple as he sits back in his seat to get back to work.

You’d told him to use a condom the first few times, even though you’ve been on birth control for years. You’ve always been responsible with flings, been more than willing to send a man packing at the first hint of whining if he didn’t want to wear protection. A baby has never once crossed your mind as an option, and it certainly doesn't now.

So it was instinct to tell Price to put on a condom before he fucked you the first time. And he had, without kicking up any fuss about it past a furrowed brow and a grumble or two.

But then the condom broke, and you were left with his cum dripping down your thighs. You’d had a moment of panic, but he’d given you money for Plan B, and you told yourself the odds of getting pregnant with Plan B and birth control were so low it wasn’t worth stressing out over.

The condom broke the second time. And the third. And the fourth. And the fifth. And every time after that you asked him to wear one.

At some point you stopped asking, and he never remembered himself. A few muttered questions about what brand he’d been using between fevered kisses, thick fingers at your cunt a distraction, and eventually you told yourself it wouldn’t matter as long as you kept taking the birth control pills.

It would be rude to demand Plan B after every round, right? Plus, asking for cash minutes after you'd both gotten off always made you feel a bit... dirty. When you feel him drip down your thighs, when you pull your panties up and feel the mixture of both of you gather there, you tell yourself that the birth control will surely do it's job, and you try not to worry.

Now, pulling open the drawer where you keep your pills, you wonder if maybe all his talk of babies and his cum taking is more than just heat-of-the-moment dirty talk.

You stare down at the empty drawer and every time he’s called himself Daddy echoes in your ear like a choir.

This is your reminder to stop being so judgemental of other people. Who are you to judge when you’re not perfect yourself?

The wonderful part though is that Jesus doesn’t judge us either. The only one who is perfect and has the right to judge chose to forgive us of every mistake, failure, and sin we’ve ever done against him. And I’m thankful to Jesus everyday that he chose to forgive in his great love for me💕

And if the perfect one™️ chose to forgive, how much more should we in our imperfection forgive each other?✨

“And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ,” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭1:9-10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Church notes - 1st October 2023

1st Colossians 3:12 - 15

John 3:1 -21

John 8:12 The Light of the World

Nicodemus What were his motives? Being born again - He misunderstood the concept.

Our witness Are we blunt enough. Do people see Jesus through us?

Ezekiel 36: 24 - 27

Numbers 21:4 - 9 The snake prefigured Jesus, in a way. The Israelites were to look to the snake in a certain way to be saved from the venom. Similarly, we are to look to Jesus to save us from our sins.

Vs 3 We need to be born again to see or experience the Kingdom.

Spiritual birth and trust.

The Kingdom of God.

Born again/Born from above.

The Light of the World.

From a spirtual point of view.

Jesus is God's ultimate gift to a dark, depraved and desparate world.

Have we missed something?

vs 16 Jesus comes as the Light of the World. There is no greater gift.

God gave part of Himself. His Son.

He did not come to condemn, but to Save.

Nicodemus condemned himself. It was there for the world to see.

You must be born again.

How will you choose?

John 8:54–55

54 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς· ἐὰν ἐγὼ δοξάσω ἐμαυτόν, ἡ δόξα μου οὐδέν ἐστιν· ἔστιν ὁ πατήρ μου ὁ δοξάζων με, ὃν ὑμεῖς λέγετε ὅτι θεὸς ἡμῶν ἐστιν, 55 καὶ οὐκ ἐγνώκατε αὐτόν, ἐγὼ δὲ οἶδα αὐτόν. κἂν εἴπω ὅτι οὐκ οἶδα αὐτόν, ἔσομαι ὅμοιος ὑμῖν ψεύστης· ἀλλʼ οἶδα αὐτὸν καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τηρῶ. 

My translation: 

54 Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; the one glorifying me is my father, of whom you say that, “He is our God,” 55 and yet you know not him, but I know him. And if I say that I know him not, I am a liar similar to you; but I know him and I guard his word. 

Notes:

8:54 

The subject of the aorist passive ἀπεκρίθη (from ἀποκρίνομαι; aor. pass. form with mid. dep. sense) is Ἰησοῦς. 

ἐὰν + subjunctive forms the protasis of a third-class conditional statement. Although the third-class can indicate a condition that is considered possible (whether likely or unlikely), it can also indicate a simple logical connection (Wallace 696) as it does here (since Jesus would not have considered it possible that he would glorify himself). 

ἐγὼ is the emphatic subject of the aorist subjunctive δοξάσω (from δοξάζω) and ἐμαυτόν the direct object. 

ἡ δόξα, modified by possessive or objective genitive μου, is the subject of the present ἐστιν (from εἰμί) and the substantival οὐδέν (“nothing”) is the predicate nominative. 

ἔστιν (from εἰμί) is accented thusly at the beginning of a sentence. NIV, HCSB have ὁ πατήρ as subject of ἔστιν and ὁ δοξάζων the predicate nominative; NET has ὁ δοξάζων as subject and ὁ πατήρ as predicate. με is the direct object of δοξάζω. NASB, NRSV: “It is my Father who ...” 

The antecedent of the relative pronoun ὃν is ὁ πατήρ. ὃν is an accusative of reference with the present λέγετε (from λέγω; “of whom you say”). ὑμεῖς is the emphatic subject of the verb. 

ὅτι introduces direct discourse after a verb of speech. θεὸς, modified by genitive of relationship ἡμῶν, is the predicate nominative of ἐστιν (from εἰμί). Some manuscripts read ὑμῶν, in which case the discourse is indirect. The unexpressed subject of the verb (“He”) refers to ὁ πατήρ (“of whom you say, ‘He is our God’”, NASB; NIV: “whom you claim as your God”). 

8:55 

The direct object of the negated 2nd perfect οὐκ ἐγνώκατε (from γινώσκω) is αὐτόν, referring to God. 

δὲ is adversative (“but”). 

ἐγὼ is the emphatic subject of the perfect οἶδα (perf. form with pres. sense) is αὐτόν, referring to God. EGGNT says there is no distinction between γινώσκω and οἶδα in this passage (contra CGT). 

κἂν is a crasis of καὶ + ἐάν. κἂν + subjunctive forms the protasis of a third-class conditional statement in which the condition is seen as possible to take place. 

After a verb of speech, the 2nd aorist subjunctive εἴπω (from λέγω), ὅτι introduces direct discourse. 

The direct object of the negated perfect οὐκ οἶδα (perf. form with pres. sense) is αὐτόν, referring to God. 

This clause is the apodosis of the condition. ψεύστης (“liar”; see note on v. 44) is the predicate adjective of the future ἔσομαι (from εἰμί; dep. in the fut.). The adjective ὅμοιος (“like, similar to”) modifies the verb and takes a dative, here ὑμῖν. 

ἀλλά indicates strong contrast. 

The direct object of the perfect οἶδα (perf. form with pres. sense) is αὐτὸν, referring to God. 

τὸν λόγον, modified by subjective genitive αὐτοῦ referring to God, is the direct object of the present τηρῶ (from τηρέω).
