Woman Caught In The Act by OLAADEGBU(m): 12:07am On May 20, 2019 |
Woman Caught In the Act I love the narrative in John 8, where the woman was caught in the act of adultery. When the religious leaders brought her to Him and said the Law demanded her death, it wasn't about their desire to keep the Law. It was rather about them wanting to have something of which to accuse Jesus so that they could justify their own sin: "This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him" (John 8:6). The Scriptures tell us that Jesus then stooped down and wrote something on the ground "as though he heard them not." We don't know what He wrote on the ground, but I think we can have a good idea. Some say it was the men's sins, but that would have taken a lot of writing. There's an easier way to write man's sins. I think Jesus wrote the Ten Commandments in the sand. What else does God write with His finger? (see Exodus 31:18). What took place is what happens when the Law does its work—they were convicted in their conscience (John 8:9), and their accusing mouths were stopped (see Romans 3:19-20). When God wrote His Law in stone it was permanent. But when Jesus wrote in sand, it meant what was written could easily be erased with one move of His merciful hand. So when self-righteous sinners come to you accusing you of some sin to try and justify their own sinfulness, do what Jesus did. Don't listen to their accusations. Instead, turn it back on them by giving them the Law, and by the grace of God show them that they can only throw stones if they are without sin.

OLAADEGBU: So they were going to stone her according to the law he himself supposedly wrote but he changed his mind? What of all the other people they had killed would they also be retroactively getting pardons? 1 Like |

LordReed:you ask a dead question bro. God has a way dealing with sinners before and after the first coming of Jesus . take for instance the adultery committed by David and Bathsheba, this was before the dispensation of Grace, how the God handle this ? the adulterous woman commit the act at the time of JESUS MINISTRY. the reason I liken you as Satan is because just as the devil always do his trick, you are in some kind of way, justify the act .adulterers are not required to repent of their adultery (and hence to sever such relationships), 1 Like |

Re: Woman Caught In The Act by OLAADEGBU(m): 5:32pm On May 22, 2019 |
LordReed: It is called mercy. Have you ever heard of mercy over judgment? It is true that God has judged the whole world as being guilty before Him (Romans 3:19,23) but Jesus was able to offer that woman caught in the act of adultery forgiveness, because He was on His way to pay for her sin by dying on the cross. The woman accepted Jesus as "Lord" but He still told her to "go and sin no more." If the woman didn't repent she would have likewise perished like the others you claimed died, in their sins. It is high time you repented and believe on Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour so that you will not perish like others. |

OpenYourEyes1: It is true that God's law written in stone is permanent, "The soul that sins shall die" and that is death Jesus came to die on our behalf, He paid the price, He took the Fall for us. If you reject the price He paid for you then you will have to pay it by yourself. 1 Like |

OLAADEGBU: This doesn't answer the question. How does a god who knows it is going to change the commandment it gave, allow people to be killed for thousands of years first? It makes no sense neither does needing a saviour. Sin is a religious construct that you need to sell the idea of a saviour for, by guilt tripping people who buy the cock and bull stories. 1 Like |

OLAADEGBU: That's the problem with people like you. If I don't answer you, you claim victory, if I answer you, you claim I hate the god. I have pointed out elsewhere I am done with long winded arguments for the god. If a god objectively exists I expect objective proof of its existence not meandering arguments that are nothing more than an exercise in logic and could also be made for any number of things which are not real. Produce me some tangible evidence that's what I asked for. 1 Like |

LordReed: "I don't hate God. I just don't believe He exists." Such is the way of many cultures that if a son or daughter marries out of the faith or does something of which they strongly disagree, in the parent's minds, they no longer exist. There is no greater contempt for a person than to so hate them they don't exist in your mind. Source: https://www.facebook.com/official.Ray.Comfort 27 May 2015 at 16:13 · www.livingwaters.com 1 Like

OLAADEGBU: I have been reading that Ray Comfort is one of the sweetest morons that ever roamed the earth. I thought that couldn't be true and atheists were just exaggerating. That was until I saw the quote that was attributed to him in that picture. How many people claim leprechauns and fairies are real and promise u eternal damnation for not believe they exist? Or go about asking that civil laws should be written with that in mind? If who believe in fairies do not bother others who don't, why should anyone worry about them? The average Christian is a mor0n.

ANYWAY, That woman caught in the act is the representation of the church of Jesus.

Goshen360:Please cut a sincere man going about the Father's business some slack bro, at least he credit the post and didnt put it forward as if from him. Dont let your furtive tiff and what you've in the past, disagreed with OLAADEGBU, get the better of you and just be like that, having a dig at him nau bro. Meet me down, immediately below anyway so we do this together. Goshen360:"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 "act" is the representation of the church of Jesus, as in, that's why she doesn't have a name mentioned to her, right? Hmm, but have you ever thought, why doesnt the woman have a name? 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 Goshen360, simply points out to, this was a set up, to get Jesus, as the teachers of religious law and the Pharisees were a wicked and desperate lot, 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 OLAADEGBU:Softly, softly ooo, no, not knives nau bro, please dont bring out knives. OLAADEGBU:If we go check out Luke 14:7, Luke 15:3, Luke 16:1a etcetera, we'll see from them, that Jesus, told quite a sizeable amount of parables, varying in total, between a number of 45 and 60, and that they usually have a plethora of lessons and moral truth in them. As most parables, usually are, a good amount of them, actually are a faithful representation of reality. They at times are told, as a story, with verisimilitude characters having actual or real human being's name. Case in point, Luke 16 has a parable mention, with the Rich man & Poor man named, Lazarus characters, and so Luke 16 is an example of parables with verisimilitude characters and where a charater's name is mentioned 1 Like |

OLAADEGBU: Chai Olaadegbu is slow. I gave u the answer and yet u still type something so moronic. Why do u worry about Muslims and Allah when u also believe that Allah doesn't exist? Because u believe Allah does exist and u are accountable to Allah? See how foolish u now look? Nobody worries about fairies because there are no fairy believers who go about disturbing people about fairies and claiming that fairies will take us to the after life. But people worry about your own beliefs because of obvious slow believers like yourself who go about creating threads upon threads about myths and outright lies disturbing our ears on the street about some rapture that will never happen and asking for government policies to favour Ur beliefs. Same thing Muslims do that makes you to create threads against them here. I hope u get it now. I know thinking isn't the Christian way but try to use your head and understand what I wrote before replying me and making a monkey of yourself again. I believe in God by the way. I just don't believe in the god u believe in. The one that sends morons like u to speak for him when he could just appear to everyone the same time. Lol 1 Like |
