The word “sin” as in “Let he who is without sin cast the first stone” is a translation of a Hebrew word, het, that means “to miss the mark.”

So I wonder if perhaps what Jesus had in mind was that whoever had the best aim should take the first shot. Because if we just let anyone lob rocks we could be here all day. It’s a stoning, folks, not a party. Let’s get it over with.

  • No offense, but I vastly prefer the original interpretation. Mostly because I don't want to find myself encircled by a bunch of people wielding all sizes of stones aimed at my noggin.

    Sorry - I was coming here to comment, then going to EMAIL you that link, stepped away and apparently was confused when I got back. LOL.
    So what I meant to say here was, "Perhaps someone should have told that to Greedo."
  • You just watch FOX run with this tomorrow night....
  • Hilarious take. My aim has never been good in any way.
  • I feel smarter every time I read one of your posts! Look what I learned today!!!
  • It took me ten minutes to read the title of your post.
  • Then clearly I am NOT a sinner because I hit the mark every time.
  • Shall you start a bible study class then? Because I like your translation very much.
  • Gasp! Are you scheduling blogs to be posted while you're actually gone? On vacation? Absolute blasphemy, leading us to believe you are sitting at your computer diligently posting the events of your life. Some people
  • Oh. My. Goodness.

    I think I love you.

  • He who is with sin, come back for the group stoning at 1pm.
  • lol - well if sin means "missing the mark" then i guess we all have to learn how to aim better. I cant seem to hit them mark.
  • Too deep for so early in the morning (10:00 is early, right?) but ultimately, an interesting thought... once my addled mind sorted it all out.
