WOW, loophole in God’s Law? There are no loopholes, there has always been mercy & justice. There was no proof the woman was an adulteress, however, as we all are, she too was a sinner. The context is about bringing false testimony, you know that commandment that says ‘though shalt not bear false witness’?
Loophole, now that is down right hysterical!
You are so focused on judging and mocking that you missed the scare quotes.
Loophole, from the Pharisee point of view.
Or are you a Pharisee?
Besides if you wanted to get technical, you would need a true tribunal before one could speak about bringing false witness at it. Maybe it was a simple “Thou shalt not murder” for all we know... or a list of the similar dalliances of the accusers... quite a few possibilities.
