1) They singled out the woman and let the man stay there
or
2) One of the accusers was the man who committed the act with the woman.
They caught her in the act with a man, and either of those two happened, or both were true.
They were not really interested in the woman, their intent was to get Jesus to say something that would make him look bad.
Jesus had no interest in winning arguments, telling it the way it was being his only concern made them back off because they had all sinned,if not adultery, then something else.
I believe we should call sin what it is,but at the same time
i think we can carry it too far when it becomes personal.
The Bible is not about a woman trusting her husband, it is about us trusting God.
Each one of us have a different circumstance in this life and God will deal with us accordingly, and there is that word assumption again because i am also assuming.
“The Bible is not about a woman trusting her husband, it is about us trusting God.”
This is a red herring
God (Jesus) calls himself the husband to Israel, Judah, and the believers at various times.
Adultery is still wrong because it is a breach of a relationship ordained of God, and often a breach of a vow made to God, if it is performed through a religious officiator. It’s a double breach of trust.
“They were not really interested in the woman, their intent was to get Jesus to say something that would make him look bad.”
Doesn’t negate the fact that they caught the woman and the man in the act, and readily let the man go unpunished, which still means one or both of the two points I mentioned.
“Each one of us have a different circumstance in this life and God will deal with us accordingly, and there is that word assumption again because i am also assuming.”
Assuming, yes, but then again, what I mentioned is strongly about the context, one way or another, at least #1 happened, which would be hypocrisy on the Pharisees part for letting the man go, when they supposedly knew the 615 laws given by God to Moses and written in the Torah. In fact, read Deuteronomy 22:22-24.
“They were not really interested in the woman, their intent was to get Jesus to say something that would make him look bad.”
Indeed they were, which adds additional hypocrisy to the pretending to know the laws given by God while deliberately doing something contrary even to them. They were merely acting like they cared.
One way or another, jesus wrote something which we will never know that cut the accusers to the core. Even I have no problem in what I said in saying either/or, but honestly all I really can say that I know is that Jesus knew something through his divine power that shocked the Pharisees.
“Possible, but an assumption.”
My own words admitted limited certainty on the real details, but they purposefully went against Biblical principles in what they did, and either one is possible. I am not claiming absolute fact, but either of those points are true. One way or another, they let the man involved with the woman go. Correct?
