::::: Good point, but due to extraordinary circumstances.  The soldiers did not know any better, for example, while the adulteress surely did.  Moreover, you're responding to only a small part of the conflict with Christian doctrine in the story.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 10:32, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

:::::: Hooey.  That God gives unconditional love and forgiveness--even to the undeserving--and that we should follow His example, is a consistent theme throughout the New Testament. --[[User:RossC|RossC]] 11:48, 9 April 2008 (EDT)

:::::: I realised that I was only responding to one point.  I thought that I'd tackle one point at a time.  I think you're surmising more than you are entitled to, as you don't know how much the woman knew compared to how much the soldiers knew.  And Jesus may have had a special reason in this case:  Because the accusers were using her to try and trap Jesus, Jesus decided to show her extra mercy.  [[User:Philip J.

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)
