Priestly apologetics in a sermon this a.m.

[Wyrd of Gawd]

While I would never condone stoning anyone for adultery, isn't there a bit of a flaw in Jesus' argument here?

Isn't he effectively saying that - because we've all done something wrong at some stage in our lives - nobody is in a position to punish anyone for anything?
How would that work in practice?

"Sorry your Honour, but as you broke the speed limit driving to court, you can't sit in judgement on this child-murderer."

"Yes, your honour, it was me wot done the post-office job with Fingers Maginty, but you've been shagging an exotic dancer behind your wife's back, so you can't send me to prison."

WTF???

The story ties into the stories about not judging other people because if you do then the standard that you used to judge them will be applied to you.  Matthew 7:1-5.
