:: Learn together, your comments are very good. I would add regarding Jesus writing on the ground that there ''is'' a precedent: Jesus is God, and God wrote with his own "finger" on the tablets of stone that Moses prepared. In both cases we have God/Jesus writing with His ''finger'' on "earth material" (stone/dirt).

::: No, I don't think there is evidence that the adulteress story is as old as Jesus's ministry. The story conflicts with fundamental teachings of Christianity, such as the need to ''ask'' for forgiveness and the complete forgiveness that is then granted. Rather, the story implicitly conveys the wrong message that unforgiven sin is a function of age, and that older people are wiser in recognizing that. The unanimous acceptance of Jesus's answer is also absurd: Jesus had enemies, many of them, who would never accept His teaching.
::: The story is plainly anti-Christian vandalism and, as in a wiki, should be "reverted".--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 10:02, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

Steve, your cite to the Mosaic law is terrific. But [[liberal]] [[Christians]] will cite the adulteress story as changing Mosaic law. Indeed, the increasing reliance on this adulteress story in churches is leading to an increased opposition to the [[death penalty]].--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 20:01, 8 April 2008 (EDT)
