Why Didn't Jesus Write?

[Godscreated]

3rd time i asked you provide an alternative explanation the allows for the elements in the story to be used.

The story says that after he spoke to them and returned to writing on the ground, they began to leave.  It offers no timetable other than that, so why would we assume that they waited long?  And why would that be the criteria by which we interpret the story?  They heard what Jesus said.  The story gives no indication as to what he was writing, but it tells us what he said.  There is no good reason to interpret it any other way.

So, again-- why would you choose the least likely explanation when the more likely one is also the more sensible one?lock

Since the OP is about Jesus writing and all the atheist here turning it into Jesus not being able to write and you tell Drich that the story is best understood that the people left because of what Jesus said. Why then doesn't the literal interpretation of Jesus writing mean He is writing. something intelligent on the ground. I'm not trying to defend either view between you and Drich, all I'm saying if you want to be so literal about Jesus's words causing the men to leave then why not accept that literally Jesus was writing intelligently on the ground. The scripture does say writing and not scribbling.
