The grave could not hold Him and He defeated death.
Are we saved by Jesus' death? After all anyone can die and be resurrected.

The incident of the adulterous woman was before THEN.
The law was still in force.

Correct and the LAW was fulfilled by Jesus who lived a sinless life and paid for our sin by His death @ Calvary;otherwise, no would could be saved.
NO ONE has ever been saved by the LAW and no one will ever be saved by trying to keep the LAW.
Ummm.The Law as in force when every OT saint died and everyone of them was saved the same way we are today i.e by the shed blood of Jesus and HIS payment for their and our sin.
I seem to remember the rock they ( OT ) drank from was Jesus. Why place limits on God ? He can do as He pleases. God is NOT bound by OT law.If He was HE would have never allowed Moses to OK a bill of divorce, which was never His intent. He only allowed it because of the hardness of man's heart.
His death was the payment for our sin against God.
The law was given by Christ to establish peace and order in the community. The law was not given to establish salvation.
Believers were not prohibited from keeping the law.
Acts 21:20 And when they heard it they glorified the Lord. And they said to him, "You see, brother, how many myriads of Jews there are who have believed and they are all zealous for the law..."
Ummm.
You are the one that has said that the new did not replace the old till Jesus came out of the tomb.
Even by your very own testimony, the law was still in force during the incident of the adulterous woman, because Jesus had not yet walked out of the tomb by then.
The very question that they ask of Jesus is about the law and what the law said about condemning an adulterous woman. (John 8:5)
And at that time, Jesus was under the law.
We cannot deny that Jesus was born in His earthly flesh & blood body UNDER THE LAW. (Gal 4:4)
How do you ever get that the law was not given for salvation?

It's a teaching of Paul. The OT Christians were not saved by the works of the law and NT Christians are not saved by works. We are saved by grace through faith. Our faith is demonstrated by what we say and do.
He knew she was guilty
Jesus was showing her and her accusers that the steps of the law should be followed as instructed, and not some mock trial as they were doing.
The Old Testament people were saved by believing and obeying God.
The New Testament people are saved by believing and obeying God.
Quote the part where He said she was forgiven.
Nope, no one can earn their way into the kingdom. It is only by God's grace through faith.
