How people get to know these details is beyond me.....

Smile on her face
Her husband not satisfying her
Raised a good girl
Had a friend she confided in

This is typically what Hollywood does....making any bad thing look good and vice versa

They put a flesh to the story to make it more relatable.

I'm writing this with great sadness as I have no other option. I have been starving for almost a week I work at a neighborhood private primary school which have been owing 3 months salary, feeding myself as proved impossible, I am gradually driving towards insanity. I plead someone to help me with any amount just to feed. I know nobody owes me anything but I wish I didn't have to do this. May u never starve. Polaris(skyebank) 3023617467

Begging shuts down your creative mind bro. Only a friend can tell you this. The same way you spent time creating this sympathy write up, you can also channel the same energy into more productive ventures. You offer little or no value or skill to anyone and that’s why they can afford to owe you for so long and you can’t do shiit about it. Not even moving to another job or even upgrading your skill set.

Wake up bro. Don’t be a beggar in Paradise. Wealth is free and available for all.

STOP BEGGING Please!

Read the footnote about John 7:52-John 8:11.

The account was missing from the earliest accounts written by the Apostle John. If it was absent in the earliest and therefore more reliable version, that portion is controversial and most Bibles point it out by stating the absence from earlier version.

Since it's reliability is in doubt, it maybe better not quoting from it


Those extracted verses seem disjointed from the preceding and subsequent verses.

But I still want to believe John wrote it.

Those few verses alone have inspired many and made them Christians.

If those verses were not in the original scriptures, they shouldn't be used. Apostle Paul urged Christian's "not to go beyond the things that are written".

In ancient times, when copyist used to copy the Bible, after writing a page, they'll count the words and if it was just a word more than what was in the original, they'll cancel it and start all over again.

When the doctor Luke wrote the Books of both Luke and Acts, he emphasised the need for accuracy (Read Luke 1'1-3)

True Christian's are called sheep and sheep are well on own for their docile and submissive matter. Would we truly be sheeplike if we go beyond what was written?

Most Bible stories na scam and forgeries and cooked up fuckeries
Even in the ancient times, there were pagans. Only those to whom God showed mercy escaped the whip of God. Am not surprised reading your post. If there could be pagans in the early days when sins were being frowned at, why wouldn't be so much more in this perverse generation of ours?

2009, and was it The Church then that,

"judged unjustly
and showed partiality to the wicked?"

that I may then have to say, after but a few years;

"GOD is no longer with Christianity."

2019, and is it now The Fool/The Comedian that is the entirety of the most accursed of all generations that refuses to,

"Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the
destitute,
rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the
wicked?"

that I may then have to say what, in a few years' time?

Whatsoever thou art - O thou wicked and evil of this most accursed of all generations -

be thou foreigner to Ikadan, or visitor to Ikadan, or citizen of Ikadan, or resident in Ikadan;

"you shall die like men,
and fall like any prince."

Before you give up on life and conclude it's all over for you, let this event of John 8 restore hope in you and strengthen your heart once more.

Everyone saw the constant smile on her face, the beauty that constantly radiated through her eyes and the confidence with which she walked. She was raised a good girl, a virgin, and proudly married as one. Everyone knew that. But no one knew the inner battles she was going through, the weakness that was out to consume her - her lack of sexual satisfaction in only one man, her husband.

This was never the life she had planned for when she said “I do” to him. She had vowed to love and give her body only to him. But then life happened and she soon discovered her body always wanted more and more, regardless of how hard she tried to control herself, there always seemed to be more out there than only her husband could give her.

She knew it was wrong to even think of such but the thoughts keep showing up in her head, several times a day. Sometimes she resisted them but at other times she secretly enjoyed them. “It’s just a thought!” She must have said to herself.

And then the temptations started coming. Day in day out. Week after week, nice, young and handsome rich men stood in her way. On the streets, in the market, and even in the church. Poor, rich, old and young men never let her be.

She kept resisting these temptations and the strong urge to taste life outside of her matrimonial bed until one day something happened. She had woken up very early in the morning that day to prepare for the gathering at the temple. Her husband was still sleeping, tired from yesterday’s work so she let him sleep on.

Putting on her clothes and favourite perfume as usual, she dashed out of the house towards the temple. Halfway to the gathering, she remembered she needed to check up on one of the brothers she had met at the temple sometime ago. The only true male friend she had confided in about her sexual weakness and struggles apart from her husband.

Is it the way he hugged her that morning to welcome her into his house? Or the way he rubbed her shoulders while she was still in his embrace? Or the special way with which he looked into her eyes telling how beautiful she was that morning? She can’t remember.

All she remember was that within a few minutes of getting to that house she was stark naked with him on his bed before the noise and strong hands of men yanked her from the bed with her barely managing to put on some of her clothes.

Passing through the streets that led to the temple, all the men she had at one time refused their sexual advances jeered profusely at her -especially the scribes and Pharisees. With each picking his own stone, they joined the crowd and dragged her to the temple to meet a man whom they would make preside over the case as judge. Of course the outcome of the judgement was already certain. They were only waiting for the judge to pronounce it before they will all stone her to death.

Knowing fully well the demands of the Law and her coming fate, she gave up on life and left herself at the mercy of her captors and accusers without any attempt to run or escape. She eagerly waited for the judge to pronounce it so she could escape the shame of her actions through death.

Such is the story of the woman who was caught in adultery in John chapter 8.

Joh 8:2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.

Joh 8:3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,

Joh 8:4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.

Joh 8:5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

Joh 8:6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.

Joh 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.

Joh 8:8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.


If this woman were to be younger and here today, she would be that young girl reading this who had brought shame upon herself by getting pregnant outside of wedlock.

If she were to be a young man here, she would be that young man out there reading this who is currently battling drug addictions, alcohol and porn.

She would be that man who due to the pressures of life had given in to armed robbery, 419, bribery and corruption.

She would be that young single mother who for the sake of her child would do anything for money for that child to eat. Or the fellow who would do any kind of dirty business to survive.

She would be that fellow who had struggled to no avail to live right and had given up completely. The fellow whom the society had concluded a nonentity, good for nothing and eternally useless.

She would be that fellow who is highly religious and all smiles but deep down is going through serious issues no one knows nor can fully comprehend.

She would be that fellow with a bottle of “sniper,” gun, knife or even rope waiting to end his life before reading this. The fellow who had already drafted his or her suicide letter.

Regardless of how she relates to your own story, here is what the master, the true judge of the earth said to her and is saying to you right now.

Joh 8:10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

Joh 8:11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.


“Neither do I condemn thee!”

“Neither do I condemn thee dear daughter!”

“Neither do I condemn thee dear son!”

Rom 8:33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

Rom 8:34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.

Rom 8:35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or unclothedness, or peril, or sword?

Rom 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,

Rom 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Don’t give up on life yet. Don’t go the way of suicide because of whatever it is that you have done. God in Christ declares you “justified,” “free from condemnation”

I hope this meets you at the right time.

“Neither do I condemn thee: don’t take your life yet. Go and sin no more”

Glory to God!

"1Jesus returned to the Mount of Olives,
2but early the next morning he was back again at the Temple. A crowd soon gathered, and he sat down and taught them.
3As he was speaking, the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery. They put her in front of the crowd.
4“Teacher,” they said to Jesus, “this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5The law of Moses says to stone her. What do you say?”
6They were trying to trap him into saying something they could use against him, but Jesus stooped down and wrote in the dust with his finger.
7They kept demanding an answer, so he stood up again and said, “All right, but let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone!”
8Then he stooped down again and wrote in the dust.
9When the accusers heard this, they slipped away one by one, beginning with the oldest, until only Jesus was left in the middle of the crowd with the woman.
10Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?”
11“No, Lord,” she said.
And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”
"
- John 8:1-11

Fair enough, the woman caught in the "adultery act" doesn't have a name mentioned to her, right? Hmm, but have you ever thought, why doesnt the woman have a name? Also, why wasn't a man caught in the act with her or why wasnt there, a man caught in the act with her?

Well, this whole matter smells fishy, and so, simply points out to the fact that, this was a set up, to get Jesus, as the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees were a wicked and desperate lot, who have been running out of patience with Jesus and so an innocent, home alone woman, was dragged out of her bed to the "market square" and deliberately made to look guilty for a not real and present sin.

The adultery charge against her was an invention by the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, created in order to deceive. This is why there is no and/or was no man was caught in the act. It, altogether and all along was a fictitious adultery act she committed. The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, fabricated all this, based it on false information, and so this woman was falsely accused of doing something wrong that has a punishment of death by stoning. This all just done, in the quest to trap Jesus, get Him into trouble, a dilemma, vicious circle and/or in a tough nut to crack situation.

The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, with stones in their hands to ready to unleash, eagerly waiting Jesus' judgement, obviously were saying amongst themselves, "He is not going to say she hasnt sin, would He" and "or is He going to now", they probably thought too.

The teachers of religious law and the Pharisees, believed they have got Jesus in a tight corner and/or spot, that is not easy to escape from and that they have given Jesus a difficult John 8:5 question and perplexing problem He wouldnt be able to resolve. This was a practice session for the teachers of religious law and the Pharisee, as they later and eventually became very skilled and proficient at setting people up, on trumped up charges and be sentenced to death, that similar, in the end, was done to Jesus too.

Even if there was a man caught in the imaginary adultery act, isnt it ironic and typical that he was allowed to escape and so be let off the hook and noose. Anyway, Jesus being all-knowing, all-wise, all-seeing saw through their whole charade, fraud and monkey busines, so no harm came on the woman and the rest is now history because God always has the back of the defenceless
