Which is the PRECISE meaning of Christ's parable....regarding throwing stones at the woman who committed adultery....(probably with one of the very men waiting to cast a stone at her)
Can you guys please stop whining over the smallest of things.... it is so, UNMANLY....and very babyish....
Where does the glass house come into play?
Somebody make up something.... quick!
''Let He who is without sin, cast the first stone'', has the same meaning as don't throw stones in glass houses
people who live in glass houses shouldn t throw stones - definition in the British English Dictionary Thesaurus - Cambridge Dictionaries Online US
Says who, you?
the dictionary gives meaning to the term, if you live in a glass house, don't throw stones....I posted the link with the ''meaning'' that was in the dictionary:
people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones

That's not MY definition, it's the dictionary's, Cambridge.
And this is what Christ continually taught through these parables..
John 8, these men were criticizing this adulteress, and ready to stone her, as their religion required, (so they thought).... Jesus did not stop them by saying, NO, don't do that...don't kill her.
He said something much more powerful, He told them, ''Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone''.... and wrote something in the sand....many believe he wrote those among them who also committed adultery or the name of the man she committed adultery with.... either way, they got the point....don't throw stones in glass houses if you are in one.... or, don't be a hypocrite, clean up your own act, your own sin, before you cast down another sinner...(especially for the same sin, you have committed yourself, is the way it is interpreted by many of religious hierarchy)
The same with the parable about trying to pull a piece of sawdust out of another sinner's eye, when you have a plank of wood in your own... it's CHRIST'S Biblical message, to all of us.
