Of course, there's also the little fact that the OT *and* Jesus declared that those laws would apply forever, so using the "particular people in a particular time" arguement doesn't work either.

Pardon me, but your ignorance is showing.

John 8

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

10 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?

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

Sure sounds to me as though Jesus intended things to change a bit after His ministry.

There was an OT requirement of TWO or more witnesses.

None appeared: case dismissed.

How so? As Elsie points out, the OT requirement of 2 accusers were not there. Had 2 accusers been there, what would the result have been?
