Let me speak on Correction.
In the modern, Post Christ, in this age of frosting called Psychology is over riding Jesus and his corrections for SIN!
This is as I see it Is a major problem, assisting the church, as they are failing in glorious style. As spoke on , the Churches in the Bible that were and going to be falling into some other religion. I call it the frosting of the word.
A query created from the King James, word for word translation, gives us a few great referces:
**Here is a selection of key passages from the King James Version (KJV) where Jesus directly corrects, rebukes, warns against, or calls people away from sin.** These include personal confrontations with individuals, corrections of His disciples, and strong public rebukes of religious hypocrisy and unrepentance. Jesus consistently balances mercy with a clear call to turn from sin.
# # # Direct Calls to Stop Sinning
**John 8:10–11** (Woman caught in adultery)
“When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: **go, and sin no more**.”
Jesus refuses to condemn her in the legal sense the accusers sought, yet He clearly identifies her behavior as sin and commands her to leave it. This is one of the clearest direct corrections of personal sin in the Gospels.
**John 5:14** (Man healed at the pool of Bethesda)
“Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: **sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee**.”
After physical healing, Jesus links ongoing sin with potential worse consequences and issues a direct prohibition.
# # # Rebukes of His Disciples
**Matthew 16:22–23** (and parallel in Mark 8:32–33)
“Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, **Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men**.”
Jesus sharply rebukes Peter for opposing the necessity of the cross. He identifies the mindset as satanic (adversarial to God’s plan) rather than godly.
**Luke 9:54–56**
“And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, **Ye know not what manner of spirit ye are of. For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them**. And they went to another village.”
Jesus corrects the disciples’ vengeful, destructive spirit when a Samaritan village rejects them. He contrasts their attitude with His own mission of salvation.
# # # Strong Public Rebukes of Hypocrisy and Religious Sin
**Matthew 23** contains a series of “woes” directed at the scribes and Pharisees. These are among Jesus’ most sustained corrections of sin, particularly hypocrisy, legalism that neglects justice/mercy, and outward religion without inward righteousness. Selected examples:
- **Matthew 23:13** — “But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in.”
- **Matthew 23:23** — “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cu**in, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.”
- **Matthew 23:25–28** — “Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. … Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness. Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.”
- **Matthew 23:33** — “Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?”
These passages confront the sin of using religion as a cover for greed, pride, and spiritual blindness while blocking others from God.
**Matthew 11:20–24** (Rebuking unrepentant cities)
“Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! … And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell… But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of S***m in the day of judgment, than for thee.”
Jesus corrects the sin of hard-hearted unrepentance in the face of clear evidence of God’s power.
# # # Broader Teaching That Corrects Sinful Attitudes and Actions
In the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), Jesus repeatedly deepens and corrects common understandings of sin:
- Anger and contempt as related to murder (Matthew 5:21–22).
- Lustful looking as related to adultery (Matthew 5:27–28).
- Retaliation versus turning the other cheek and loving enemies (Matthew 5:38–48).
- Hypocritical giving, prayer, and fasting done for show (Matthew 6:1–18).
- Judging others while ignoring one’s own faults (Matthew 7:1–5).
These teachings function as corrective instruction that exposes and calls people away from both outward and inward sin.
# # # Additional Notes and Context
Jesus’ corrections of sin are rarely mere condemnation. In the cases of the adulterous woman and the healed man, mercy and healing come first or alongside the command to stop sinning. With the disciples, the rebukes aim at forming them into people who understand God’s priorities (the cross, salvation rather than destruction). With the Pharisees and unrepentant cities, the tone is severe because of persistent hardness and the way their sin harmed others and blocked the kingdom.
Other related moments include the cleansing of the temple (Matthew 21:12–13; Mark 11:15–17; John 2:13–17), where Jesus drives out those making God’s house a “den of thieves,” and various interactions exposing greed, self-righteousness, or lack of faith.
These passages show a consistent pattern: Jesus names sin clearly, warns of its consequences, and calls people to repentance and a changed life, while offering grace to those who turn. For the fullest picture, reading the surrounding chapters in the KJV is recommended, as context deepens the force of each correction.
