Perhaps the Pharisees would have witnessed to their own sin by standing up as witnesses to her adultery! Also, in no way would Christ have encouraged the ignoring of the command of the law to punish adultery, but as there were not two witnesses, civil justice prohibited punishment (but not eternal punishment). Praise God that this punishment that we deserve was borne by Christ for those who flee to Him!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Deut 17:2-6 (ESV)<BR/>"If there is found among you, within any of your towns that the LORD your God is giving you, a man or woman who does what is evil in the sight of the LORD your God, in transgressing his covenant, and has gone and served other gods and worshiped them, or the sun or the moon or any of the host of heaven, which I have forbidden, and it is told you and you hear of it, then you shall inquire diligently, and if it is true and certain that such an abomination has been done in Israel, then you shall bring out to your gates that man or woman who has done this evil thing, and you shall stone that man or woman to death with stones. On the evidence of two witnesses or of three witnesses the one who is to die shall be put to death; a person shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness. The hand of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall purge the evil from your midst."njcopperheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480190430679213903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20342931.post-1147226792564772432006-05-09T22:06:00.000-04:002006-05-09T22:06:00.000-04:00Quite right - very funny!
