Bad example man. Sucks for you, referring to a story that wasn’t in the original gospel of John. The consensus of scholars is that the story is a pseudepigraphal addition - a fake, in other words.

Wasn’t in the gospel

Our religion is based on his teachings, not the Torah.

Ok now let me show you what is actually in the Bible.

quote:
17“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law (Torah) until all is accomplished. 19Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Sure, you can quote Paul, but each time you point to Paul’s teachings on disregarding the Law, you are contradicting the gospel of Matthew.

You dont know enough about the Bible and religious history to be commenting intelligently in these threads

Why do you dumbass nut jobs get so offensive? It’s a shame that we can’t have an adult conversation. You must be low-IQ. You can’t even consistently use apostrophes.

Jeez dude, you just keep exposing your ignorance. The Apostle Matthew didnt write the book of Matthew. It was written anonymously by a Jew watching the story of Christ becoming dominated by Gentiles. It was a simply a response to that movement by a Jew-centric man who borrowed HEAVILY from the first testament written: the book of Mark. Matthew has 600 of 661 verses from Mark contained in its passages. Thats a bit much for it to be written from a fellow apostle recollecting his own thoughts, amirite?

And like I said its written to bring the religion back to its Jewish origins as seen in its very 1st passage: "The Book of Genealogy of Jesus Christ", deliberately echoing the words of Genesis 2:4 in the Septuagint: "These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created"

So Matthew is the outlier here, not Paul

Well, thats a lie. The Gospel of the Hebrews contained the story, and it was written sometime between 100-120AD. Papias, Bishop of Hierapolis, who included in his writings the story of Jesus and the adulteress around 95AD. His sources are well known to be John the apostle and the daughters of Philip

Youre incapable of understanding what you read. We are to follow the law. His death fulfilled the law. We are now saved by faith, grace. No longer by works. And therefore we are not to judge, by stoning or throwing people off the roof.

quote:
Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

Thats the difference in the Torah law, Sharia law, and the followers of Christ
