There's no "moving on" with you and I.
You don't understand what you're reading.....or you're deliberately being obtuse.
I am not being obtuse at all. I made a typo and corrected that typo. How is saying that I made a mistake being "obtuse" ?
I get that you are wanting to pick up your ball and go home. You are backed into a logical corner and the only escape admitting that you have made a mistake is to run away.
1) Mosaic Law says that adulterers are to be stoned/killed to rid the community of the evil.
Jesus advises against this punishment which is advising against Mosaic Law
It does not matter that Jesus had his reasons or that Paul had his reasons. I agreed with you on this. How is agreeing with you being "obtuse" ?
Being obtuse is denying the obvious. Denying the obvious is what you are doing by not realizing that just because Jesus had reasons for advising against Mosaic law, does not mean that the advice of Jesus does not contradict Mosaic law.
You say ... but the two were not there and it takes two to commit adultery. Thanks for stating the obvious but just because both parties were not mentioned in the passage does not mean that the woman was not guilty. The passage clearly states that she was guilty. The author makes this very clear.
The women was guilty of adultery - Mosaic law decrees that this woman must be killed - Jesus advises against Mosaic law. It is what it is.
2) You posted a wheel which put (God) in the center. The wheel said (Jesus is God). The wheel also had (The Father) and said Jesus is not (The Father).
The problem with your trinity wheel, is that identity of (God) in the center, according to Trinity doctrine "IS" God the Father.
The (God) in the middle of your wheel is then (God the Father). Now your wheel is completely silly because it says
1) Jesus is God the Father and
2) Jesus is not God the Father
You need to question the man made dogma that you subscribe to more often and to figure things out for yourself. You should not be reading the Bible (or any book) with the mindset - I already know what is going on because someone told me so... and then when you read the book try to fit what you are reading into some pre-ordained story that you have in your head.
When something comes up in the book you are reading that does not fit with the story you have been told (about that book), you could say 1) "Wait a minute here, perhaps the story someone told me about this book was not correct" or 2) make things up that do not exist in the Bible passage to try and make that passage fit into the story someone told you.
You know Jesus was not a fan of the Pharisee's (teachers of the Law). Why would you think the Pharisee's of today are any different ?
You know Jesus said
15*“Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves.
Don't listen to me. Listen to this guy ... this Jesus fellow. It is he that is telling you not to ingest too much man made dogma.
How many times have you touted some traditional dogma and when I have responded with "OK but, Jesus said this" or the Bible says this" have you run off and brought back some persons (writing) trying to twist scripture to make it fit into man made dogma ?
24*“Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25*The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26*But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand.
It is important to understand that this passage follows the last on I posted. That Jesus is still on the topic of false prophets "wolves in sheep's clothing". Trusting in man made dogma is building the foundation for your beliefs on sand.
Here is the proof. If a small breeze upsets even one tenet of the fundamentalist literalist belief (or some other ridged dogma) .. the whole structure collapses.
This is why you want to run away. On some level you must realize that you are clinging to the most irrational of arguments in order to maintain "every tenet" of the man made dogma that was fed to you (most often as a child but sometimes later on)
I know what this is like because I spent many years in your shoes.
