[quote=Anonymous]1:51, you miss the key point about the story about Jesus and the adulteress. Nobody disputes that the Pharisees were trying to trap Jesus--it's explicitly in the John 8 passage to which you referred. The story is told because of the lesson/moral it conveys: Jesus chose the course that set her free. He could have let them stone her, but he didn't. Why! Throughout his time on earth, Jesus preached that we are all sinners and that he brought God's forgiveness to us. His message to the bystanders, that only the sinless can cast stones, is consistent with his larger message, throughout the gospels, that we're all sinners, and that God is the ultimate judge. The passage you cite has the accusers leaving after he calls for a blameless man to through the first stone.[/quote]
