Wrong. While they did take the law literally, Jesus never rebuked them for doing so. He rebuked them for applying it inconsistently and only to outward behaviour while failing to apply the more important matters.
Your stubborn refusal to accept sound explanation of Scripture is concerning.
I don't take every passage literally, but I do understand which passages to take literally. John 7:53-8:11 is one of them.
Did I say that only the Romans were responsible for executing Jesus? No. Is this even about Jesus? No. It's about the two thieves.
Don't put words in my mouth.
That is complete speculation. There isn't a single word in Scripture suggesting that the scribes and Pharisees had anything to do with the execution of the two criminals or with "pushing the Romans" to do so.
It's just evidence that you don't pay adequate attention to the text.
Scripture says clearly and specifically that they did.
John 8:5-6 "In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
Your baseless, stubborn certainty that I am wrong and your vain attempts to "prove" it are blinding you to plain Scripture.
Romans 10 is not talking about scribes and Pharisees; it's talking about Jews. It has nothing specifically to do with the situation recorded in John 7-8.
You can try a thousand times and still be wrong. I know which passages to treat as parabolic, which to treat as literal, which to treat as poetic, and which to treat as narrative because I have humbly learned from God and from His people how to interpret Scripture properly.
You have not.
Since you think I need to "read more carefully", please quote the passage you think I haven't read carefully enough.
Wrong on two counts: firstly, it wasn't Mary Magdalene; and secondly, Jesus DID allow them to punish her, but He placed on them a condition they could not satisfy. The Roman restriction is not mentioned at all.
That's not even a complete sentence.
That's not the same context and not even remotely the same issue. It's irrelevant to the woman caught in adultery.
No, He did not. Not anywhere.
There is absolutely no scriptural support whatsoever for that idea.
Wrong. While they did take the law literally, Jesus never rebuked them for doing so. He rebuked them for applying it inconsistently and only to outward behaviour while failing to apply the more important matters.
Your stubborn refusal to accept sound explanation of Scripture is concerning.
let you stick with your belief then.
But I will not say you are stubborn because you don't just believe on what I shared.
As the Lord said.
ROMANS 12:9
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written,
Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
I don't take every passage literally, but I do understand which passages to take literally. John 7:53-8:11 is one of them.
It is Lord Jesus who taught Paul how is the law.
And with what the Lord Jesus said, I asked him why he said the law is spiritual and he answered me.
John 7:53, yes I believe Jesus that he speaks parable on this. And in Jesus way, he explained the meanings so that John 8:11 will be fulfilled.
ROMANS 7:14
14 For we know that
the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
Did I say that only the Romans were responsible for executing Jesus? No. Is this even about Jesus? No. It's about the two thieves.
Don't put words in my mouth.
You don't get the point. I will let you to stick with your own understanding.
That is complete speculation. There isn't a single word in Scripture suggesting that the scribes and Pharisees had anything to do with the execution of the two criminals or with "pushing the Romans" to do so.
In the New Testament, the separation of churches and state was already implemented by Lord Jesus. But the religious leaders on that time they were already influencing the government. This truth never passed away in our generation. That is the truth and not speculation.
It's just evidence that you don't pay adequate attention to the text.
Scribes, Pharisees, Doctors and teachers of the Law. There is no difference as long as they are not in truth.
What matters is the truth.
Scripture says clearly and specifically that they did.
John 8:5-6 "In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.
Your baseless, stubborn certainty that I am wrong and your vain attempts to "prove" it are blinding you to plain Scripture.
If you want specific word. It is not a trap. It is a tempt.
Again, I will not say that you are stubborn. God will do what is necessary in Romans 12:9
JOHN 8:5-6
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
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.
You can try a thousand times and still be wrong. I know which passages to treat as parabolic, which to treat as literal, which to treat as poetic, and which to treat as narrative because I have humbly learned from God and from His people how to interpret Scripture properly.
You have not.
Again you can stick with what you believe. But what matters here is not what you believe, but the truth.
Even Scribes, Pharisees and the Jews believe that their God is the Father.
JOHN 8:41
41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication;
we have one Father, even God.
But to Lord Jesus, because they don't know who God the Father is. Their belief is not according to the truth.
JOHN 8:54-55
54 Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me;
of whom ye say, that he is your God:
55
Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not,
I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying.
The truth is, if you can't identify who God the Father is, then your belief is not the truth.
Since you think I need to "read more carefully", please quote the passage you think I haven't read carefully enough.
Yes, to take this story literally you can't identify the name of the woman. Because there is no name written here but a word woman only.
This proves that your recognition to Jesus is not a revelation from the Father. Or else Jesus will reveal to you who the woman is.
JOHN 8:3-11
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a
woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this
woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
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.
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.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
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?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
If you don't know the woman in John 8:3-11 then you still don't know this woman in Luke 7:36-39 because you are only after on what you read and understanding.
LUKE 7:36-39
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
37 And, behold, a
woman in the city, which was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster box of ointment,
38 And stood at his feet behind him weeping, and began to wash his feet with tears, and did wipe them with the hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and anointed them with the ointment.
39 Now when the Pharisee which had bidden him saw it, he spake within himself, saying, This man, if he were a prophet, would have known who and what manner of
woman this is that toucheth him: for she is a sinner.
This proves again that your knowledge in the words of God is from a man only and not after the Lord Jesus revelation.
