Just look at the front of your Bible and tell me if I'm right !

No I don't think the bible says that he did.
The story starts with these guys trying to trick him into asserting Jewish Law over Roman Law ...but Jesus knew they were trying to trick him. So he didn't answer. Instead he wrote stuff in the sand. verse 9 doesn't say what he wrote but it does say they were convicted by [their own] conscience and went out one by one.
Since Jewish law requires that a person can only be convicted by two or more witnesses he simply pointed out that there were no witnesses. So he didn't condemn her for 2 obvious reasons that I can see. 1 They were trying to trap him. 2 The there were no witnesses how could he condemn her and keep the law. So the fact that he didn't condemn her does not necessarily mean she repented and was forgiven. The bible doesn't speak to that issue in this case.
yes, I think I sort of said that.Originally posted by rene
Actually, Jesus fulfilled the law to the letter in not following with what they were trying to get Him to do - agree to the stoning of the woman.
To have caught her in the act - means that there was a man with her for her to be caught. Jewish law says that both the man and woman were to be stoned.
It was a setup.

Yes, it does say he did.
Mathew 9
1Jesus stepped into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town. 2Some men brought to him a paralytic, lying on a mat. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, "Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven*."
*pending my crucifiction. Void where prohibited by law.
(Paraphrased by Mathew)
Luke 7
47Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven--for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little."
48Then Jesus said to her, "Your sins are forgiven*."
*pending my crucifiction
(Paraphrased by Luke - probably isn't what Jesus really said according to a scholarly TOLer.)
May want to actually read the bible...

Saw that - and also saw that the other didn't catch what you were saying the way that you were wording it.
So - I worded it in a direct, blunt way that would (I hope) get the other to open their bible - paraphrased or not and see for themselves.

Oh by the way I never said Jesus never forgave anyone prior to his death now did I?

How about this one?
"your sins are forgiven."
Does that mean that he wasn't really forgiving his sins?

So, why was his death necessary, if he was able to forgive prior to his death?
Please back it up scripturally.

The woman about to be stoned was misquoted, the others were not.
It seems like you are straining a gnat, rene.
He forgave sins prior to his death.

The bible says,
"your sins have been forgiven."
I say, "So you are saying that they aren't"
You respond, "Yes, you are right."

Jesus. Still alive. Not bleeding. Not nailed to anything.
Forgave with words.
