I agree part way- but if men expect a virginal wife and then sleep around themselves before marriage, that's a double standard, don't you think?
Since you brought Jesus into this, you make a good point that Jesus was only out to shame one group- The self-righteous. In His day though, there was already a religious structure that shamed people for certain sins, women were shamed for sex with someone who was not their betrothed or husband, men were shamed for being tax - collectors for Rome or being Zealots (and Jesus managed to have these two extremes as disciples :) or even for being a simple publican.
However, He Himself said: "I did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill it." Teachers that say "Jesus fulfilled the law so I don't .." make two errors: Fulfilling the law is not the end of the law, except in the sense that the law relating to sacrifice for sin is completed in Jesus. Second, that all the law is now nullified, Paul and Jesus both said they upheld the law. I agree that we are not to 'tell people how to live their lives' on our own authority. However, IF you accept Jesus' authority, you do not have the privilege of contradicting him on the law of God.
The Law of God is subject to scrutiny. I do not put stake in the Torah as I feel especially knowing what we know now about deception, that the ole Book has been beat up along the way. What does stick, for me are things like the food laws which seem to have a correlation to animals that consume humans intentionally... yeah something to look into and then you can see the correlation between cancer and bacon.
In the end I rely on what Jesus said and more importantly what He did. Regarding the issue of sexual immorality, He spared a prostitute. "Let He who is without sin cast the first stone." He spared her and forgave her. Now some might argue "THAT WAS ONE TIME!!!! IT DOESN'T COUNT ANYMORE!!!!" I say... let people study and decide for themselves.
I agree! However- He also told her to go and leave her life of sin... I agree it still counts, however, so do his following words to her.
Jesus Christ healed the sick, gave rhe blind sight, set st liberty those who were captive and demonstrates God's love. That's what I follow and it is what we all should imitate. But to blame the whole of Christianity for dogmatic graceless religion os foolish. Calling a an egg a rock doesn't make it a rock.
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. See people getting destroyed, now you know why.
