CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY OCTPOBER 5, 2018
WATCHING THOSE SENATORS ON THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE QUESTION BRETT KAVANAUGH MADE ME THINK OF WHAT SINS THEY HAVE COMMITTED. COULD THEY HAVE STOOD THE SCRUTINY THEY AND THE FBI HAVE GIVEN THE SUPREME COURT NOMINEE? I DOUBT IT.
IT’S THE POINT JESUS WAS MAKING IN THE STORY OF THE WOMAN ALLEGEDLY TAKEN IN ADULTERY. I SAY ALLEGEDLY BECAUSE IT HAS ALWAYS APPEARED AS A SETUP BY PEOPLE TRYING TO TRAP JESUS.
AS WE KNOW FROM THE ACCOUNT, JESUS DREW SOMETHING IN THE SAND. SOME BELIEVE IT WAS THE SINS OF THOSE IN THE CROWD. IN ANY EVENT, THEY WALKED AWAY AND JESUS ASKED THE WOMAN, “DOES NO ONE CONDEMN YOU?” SHE RESPONDED, “NO ONE, LORD.” AND JESUS SAID, “THEN GO AND SIN NO MORE.”
HOW MANY SENATORS WHO HAVE SMEARED JUDGE KAVANAUGH OR NOT SPOKEN OUT AGAINST THE SMEAR BY OTHERS COULD WITHSTAND HAVING THEIR SINS EXPOSED IN THE MANNER THAT JESUS EXPOSED THOSE IN THE CROWD. HAVE NONE EVER LUSTED IN THEIR HEARTS? HAVE NONE EVER DRUNK TO EXCESS. HAVE NONE EVER BECOME ANGRY?
THIS IS A DARK TIME IN WASHINGTON AND ELSEWHERE WHERE SIN ABOUNDS, BUT NOT IN THE MINDS OF SOME SENATORS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
