Jesus was not a doormat, Christians should not be doormats.
Jesus has holy righteous anger when need be, a Christian must respond in the same manner when speaking to someone in sin.
Jesus anger was towards the religious.
When Jesus was convicting an unbeliever He was very kind in pointing out their sin.

-- Jesus also spoke about sin and the punishment for it.kiwimac said:
He warned about the dangers of sin time and again.
And whenever he forgave someone He always say, "Go and sin no more."

Can't see how this news affects Christians as Gonnorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease :huh:Ruth said:
That sounds like a real pathetic attempt to water-down Jesus's words against sin. "Go and sin no more" is a command, not advice for healthy living. Jesus said "Go and sin no more" and you hear "Consider using a condom."aspen2 said:
Go and sin no more. Pretty please? Ahh come on, you can do it. Well, alright. Think about it, OK? Remember, I'm your bestest bestest friend, and I really really need your love. So if you can't stop, I'll just wait. We'll work something out. OK? Love ya! Mean it!</tongue-in-cheek>Polt said:

You can call me naive...but yes. They should not be sinning in this area. :huh: We're supposed to be "born-again" leaving the things of the world - behind us...
You're not naive. The character of a person who belongs to Jesus is that they no longer go on deliberately sinning. But, there's some people who want to have it both ways, their sinful lifestyle and a go-to-Heaven card. Or, they convince themselves that Jesus is all love and mercy and therefore won't judge. Indeed, narrow is the way that leads to life.Angelina said:
Wake up from your drunken stupor, as is right, and do not go on sinning. For some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven... And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’
Those who think they know Jesus but go on sinning to not know Jesus and Jesus does not know them.
*sigh*
All of these responses from people who are enshrouded in their own piety. Typical Christian forum stuff.

Actually, Jesus is only recorded one time for having made that statement. The problem when fellow human beings use that statement with which to aim at others is that it implies that THEY have given up sin themselves which is, I would think, a lot of hooey. But, perhaps I'm wrong. May I ask for a show of hands from those who are (now) sinless?Foreigner said:

Romans 6
16 Don’t you know that when you give yourselves to obey someone you become that person’s slave? You can be slaves of sin. Then you will die. Or you can be slaves who obey God. Then you will live a godly life. 17 You used to be slaves of sin. But thank God that with your whole heart you obeyed the teachings you were given! 18 You have been set free from sin. You have become slaves to right living.
19 Because you are human, you find this hard to understand. So I have said it in a way that will help you understand it. You used to give the parts of your body to be slaves to unclean living. You were becoming more and more evil. Now give your bodies to be slaves to right living. Then you will become holy.
20 Once you were slaves of sin. At that time right living did not control you. 21 What benefit did you gain from doing the things you are now ashamed of? Those things lead to death!
22 You have been set free from sin. God has made you his slaves. The benefit you gain leads to holy living. And the end result is eternal life. 23 When you sin, the pay you get is death. But God gives you the gift of eternal life because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done.
Blessings!

Actually, you're wrong. Jesus stated "sin no more" to two distinct individuals on two separate occasions (John 5:14) and (John 8:11). As followers of Christ, we are expected to live in this world but not be conformed to this world's base standard of conduct.KCKID said:
No one here is implying that they are completely "sinless" only that we consciously and contritely make a concerted effort to abide by each and every one of Our Lord's commandments.
First part: Well, there ya go ...there's always something new to learn. The majority of Christians would not know the reference in John 5:14 because most just parrot the well-known quote in John 8:11. All of us conform to some degree to 'this world's base standard of conduct'. It's impossible not to while still retaining our integrity as a human being. And, at the end of the day, a human being (and not a god) is what we all are. I really don't have a problem being a human being and knowing that I'm imperfect.James Forthwright said:
Second part: Of course people are implying that they no longer sin every time they aim the John 8:11 quote to others. Otherwise, what would be the point in one sinner telling another sinner not to sin any more? Obviously, the 'teller' really beleves that s/he 'sins no more'. This is the problem one runs into whenever they quote the words from a book. They have made 'the book' their God and NO ONE can conform to ALL of the 'divine' words as found in the Bible unless, of course, it's L-O-V-E. In the case of too many Christians this virtue is one that is sadly lacking. Too many prefer the condemning texts of the Bible. But, only for others, of course!
Nice of you to spare the others from presenting a show of hands, however.
-- Obviously you are ill-informed on this. And unfortunately you have shown that once your mind is made up, you feel it is no time to let facts get in the way.KCKID said:
When you witness to a non-believer, you let them know that Jesus expects them to not knowingly and willfully sin.
He expects them to do their very best but - being human - we will all still make mistakes so there will still be sin in our lives.
He says that if we come right away seeking forgiveness, He will grant it fully and we are again made new.
When He said, "Go and sin no more," as with the prostitute, He was letting her know that He expects her to realize she will be sinning if she returns to that practice.
There have only been one or two people to visit this site that have claimed that being a Christian means you never have to sin again. But they are always proven wrong.
