The judgement of the Messiah was simple. Stone her, but let him who is without sin cast the first stone. Did you miss that or did you just ignore it? Rhetorical question.

It's impossible for her to see that.

And he didn't mean sin in general. He was referring to their sins in their involvement with the woman. They had taken part in the whole sordid mess.
We are focusing on the spiritual application rather than exact historical content. Did we forget something that caused you spiritual harm? Or do you feel an element of pedantic accuracy should be applied?
I was a member of a group called "Extreme Pedantry", but they weren't extreme enough for me.

I'd not considered that before now, but I shall give it some serious thought. Thanks.

| Some historians and governments hold Japanese military forces, namely the Imperial Japanese Army, the Imperial Japanese Navy, and the Imperial Japanese family, especially under Emperor Hirohito, responsible for the deaths of millions, some estimate between 3,000,000 and 14,000,000 civilians and prisoners of war through massacre, human experimentation, starvation, and forced labor that was either directly perpetrated or condoned by the Japanese military and government https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_war_crimes |

1. Tens of thousands of Americans would have been killed had Operation Downfall commenced. The atom bomb saved American lives.
2. The Allies had already firebombed Tokyo, Dresden and Hamburg to ash so what happened in late 1945 was nothing new. Only difference was one plane/one bomb vs waves of hundreds of bombers dropping incendiaries. And even those were not the first time cities had been razed in war. It was not unprecedented.
3. Japan started down the path to destruction as far back as the early '30s and sealed its fate by allying with Germany.
4. It was war. See point 2.

I think I will take Admiral Leahy's word for it...
"The use of this barbarous weapon at Hiroshima and Nagasaki was of no material assistance in our war against Japan. The Japanese were already defeated and ready to surrender"
"In being the first to use it, we adopted an ethical standard common to the barbarians of the Dark Ages. I was not taught to make war in that fashion, and wars cannot be won by destroying women and children. "

"The first atomic bomb was an unnecessary experiment. It was a mistake to ever drop it. [the scientists] had this toy and they wanted to try it out, so they dropped it. It killed a lot of Japs, but the Japs had put out a lot of peace feelers through Russia long before."

If Japan didn't surrender after the first bomb, they didn't intend to before it. Help yourself to your revisionism.
Disagreeing, agreeably.
