When Jesus said "Neither do I condemn thee, go and sin no more," what did that mean?  First, it meant that sin was a choice.  If we have no control over whether or not life is a choice or a predetermined path,then Jesus's command would have been meaningless.  He could not condemn someone for doing what had already been determined that they would do, and the command would have to be more along the line of go and do what you have no choice but to do.  For forgiveness to have meaning, we must have a choice of actions and a responsibility for their outcome.  Which would be a second point- actions have consequences.  The actions taken before the encounter with Jesus had led the woman to this point, and the actions that she took would also have consequences.  Jesus paid the eternal price for both, but the earthly consequences were still there.  He doesn't condemn us, but He doesn't desert us when we choose to disobey us after we become His follower.  This is my understanding of what we are called to do, but comments are always welcome.
