11.24-The church today is not following Jesus regarding standing up for women

11.24-

When Jesus observed women being attacked and used and abused he stood up for them. How can you be a follower of Jesus and be a supporter of those who abuse them?

There are many people who are more interested in political power than doing the right thing. This is the reason Jesus was so harsh toward religious/political leaders of His generation.

Russell Moore is right when he says:

“nominal, culturally Christian “religion.” It is predatory, soul-twisting, covers over violence and racism and molestation. The gospel of Jesus Christ brings life and joy and rest and peace.”

“Christian, if you cannot say definitively, no matter what, that adults creeping on teenage girls is wrong, do not tell me how you stand against moral relativism.”

“A church that worships Jesus stands up for vulnerable women and girls. A church that worships power sees them as expendable.”

“There are girls and women in our churches, right now, wondering where they can turn as they are molested by predators. I know Jesus’ answer. What about that of the church?”

John 8.

8 But Jesus went to the Mount of Olives. ² Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them. ³ The scribes and the Pharisees *brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, ⁴ they *said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. ⁵ Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?” ⁶ They were saying this, testing Him, so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. ⁷ But when they persisted in asking Him, He straightened up, and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her.” ⁸ Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. ⁹ When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. ¹⁰ Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” ¹¹ She said, “No one, ^[a]Lord.” And Jesus said, “I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on sin no more.”]
