CHRIST AND THE ADULTEROUS WOMAN

Today's gospel is about the subject above. A woman was caught committing adultery and the people of Jerusalem intends to throw stones at her until she dies which will serve as her punishment but Jesus stood for that woman and said to the people that whoever is free from sin, he throws the stone first.
.
This reminds me of the latest buzz in the office, I practice Managed Care (apart from Regulatory Affairs) in the Philippines and our clients are from the US so we mostly work at night and sleep at our sleeping quarters during breaks, one colleague of mine was caught red-handed taking sexual advantage of our other colleague in the quarters. Of course he was investigated but the thing is, people have judged him already.
.
It is definitely wrong to judge in the biblical context but on the other hand, the healthcare point of view doesn't make fun of these cases too. In fact, if we look at the HIV/AIDS chart of the epidemiologist and public health nurses, we will see that sex has grown more than Male and Female. There is a classification called Men Having Sex with Men (MHSM) or the Metro Guy, these are straight guys that are so open to stuffs including sex that they sleep with all sexes.
.
Therefore, It is wrong to mock people on their sexual orientation whether in the biblical or in the scientific point of view. We are all sinners, nobody is free from sin. In my own opinion, let the HR and the management make the verdict. =)
