Then why would he say, "sin no more"?
If the sin that Moses, God, the Law, and Jesus condemned as a sin deserving of capital punishment was committed, why would he say, "go in peace"?
If one is not condemned then there can be no forgiveness. She was guilty, yes, but she was not found guilty nor did she confess. Which means that Jesus could neither condemn or forgive, because He did not have any evidence of her guilt. At least not outside of His ability to know as God.
[quot]You think he meant, "you're a filthy adulteress deserving of death, but go in peace and sin no more"?
You make yourself look more and more stupid with every post.[/quote]
Did I say that? This is why you're an idiot; you choose to be. You make assumptions about what others think and believe and don't ask questions for clarification.
Listen up, moron.
There's the moral aspect of the law, and there's the judicial aspect of the law. Morally the woman was guilty and answerable to God. There's no forgiveness for this sin under the law, and there never has been. Judicially she was doomed if the Mosaic law was upheld. Jesus said, "he who is without sin cast the first stone". In other words he was saying, if you want to exercise judgment according to the law, go ahead, but are you also guiltless?"
Now stop being an idiot. Present a scriptural argument, you sorry fool.
Jesus never said she was forgiven. He also never said she was guilty. He didn't condemn her.
Now you obviously don't know the law, so here goes:
“If there is found among you, within any of your gates which the Lord your God gives you, a man or a woman who has been wicked in the sight of the Lord your God, in transgressing His covenant, who has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, either the sun or moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have not commanded, and it is told you, and you hear
of it, then you shall inquire diligently. And if
it is indeed true
and certain that such an abomination has been committed in Israel, then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has committed that wicked thing, and shall stone to death that man or woman with stones. Whoever is deserving of death shall be put to death on the testimony of two or three witnesses; he shall not be put to death on the testimony of one witness. The hands of the witnesses shall be the first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hands of all the people. So you shall put away the evil from among you. “If a matter arises which is too hard for you to judge, between degrees of guilt for bloodshed, between one judgment or another, or between one punishment or another, matters of controversy within your gates, then you shall arise and go up to the place which the Lord your God chooses. And you shall come to the priests, the Levites, and to the judge
there in those days, and inquire
of them; they shall pronounce upon you the sentence of judgment. You shall do according to the sentence which they pronounce upon you in that place which the Lord chooses. And you shall be careful to do according to all that they order you. According to the sentence of the law in which they instruct you, according to the judgment which they tell you, you shall do; you shall not turn aside
to the right hand or
to the left from the sentence which they pronounce upon you. Now the man who acts presumptuously and will not heed the priest who stands to minister there before the Lord your God, or the judge, that man shall die. So you shall put away the evil from Israel. And all the people shall hear and fear, and no longer act presumptuously.
”
-Deuteronomy 17:2-13
“One witness shall not rise against a man concerning any iniquity or any sin that he commits; by the mouth of two or three witnesses the matter shall be established.
”
-Deuteronomy 19:15
“The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall surely be put to death.”
-Leviticus 20:10
Now, can you tell me why Jesus didn't condemn her?
