Adulterous woman

[The Grand Nudger]

No wonder you didn't post a direct Bible verse to prove your claims because there isn't one. There is nothing in your article that says that sinless people are the ones to throw stone but "Those witnesses “must be the first in putting that person to death, and then the hands of all the people” (verse 7). In other words, those who testified against the condemned person in court had to cast the first stone."

john 8 is the passage your looking for. the link tells you why. are you trolling or are you this slow? in john 8 those who accused were the pharisees. This means they were the ones who were to cast the first stones. so what did Jesus do? he began to write their sins out on the ground. this meant they were not in good standings with God.. so what did the accusers do who's sins were being written out? they left when Jesus said those without sin cast the first stone. why? because ceremonially they were unclean and had no right otherwise if they had then they too would be subject to stoning.

from got questions: Stoning is a horrible way to die. That particular manner of execution must have been a strong deterrent against committing the sins deemed offensive enough to merit stoning. God cares very much about the purity of His people. The strict punishment for sin during the time of the Law helped deter people from adopting the impure practices of their pagan neighbors and rebelling against God. The wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23), and Israel was given a stern commandment to stay pure: “You must purge the evil from among you” ().

here it is in the OT as well!!! purge the evil and stay pure. the conversation is over if you were an honest person.

You appear to believe that these pharisees would have done anything on the say so of a new testament book, and, frankly, think that the old testament book is just wrong.  They were going to stone her in accordance with law, jesus got her off on a technicality, and that was their entire ploy to begin with, as any answer he gave would have been wrong according to mosiac law, they sought to entrap him.  You think jesus has the right of this..but I somehow doubt that a pharisee would believe that a christian or indeed christ was the authority on their laws.   I don't see many jewish people conceding this one..and it's been centuries now....

Plainly, it never happened - but, sure, it's meant to tell a story that you would very much like to tell here.  I don't think that anyone is disagreeing that this is the story told by christians.  To you, believing him to be a god, your god, it demonstrates his intelligence and authority.  For them..if this really happened and isn't just a vehicle for theological content, he'd have been a shitbag lawyer to a criminal whore and they'd get around to dealing with him...shortly.  Christian explication on their hearts condemning them and jesus getting the actual rules actually right....is blatant propaganda. It would take a cultist to believe that this was a news report from the ancient front. The story is openly whimsical, referent, and highly thematic.
