How could anyone make a blind sweeping statement and say the law of Moses is perfect when its quite obvious it is not.
Where is this statment: "the law of moses is perfect"?
Christ, Himself, stated that some laws (such as the one on divorce) were given -by moses - due to the hard-heartedness of the people.
What does the above mean to you? What does it say to you? You keep avoiding that question.
How can any woman say that is a perfect law ?
Can't. Don't recall saying it was a perfect law. Do recall saying that it was more of a 'damage control' law. Given to men who abused it. The law is for the lawless.
Why have ordinary people today in our home countries created better laws like actually looking these men up and yet Jesus says paying a fine is perfect.
Where did He say this again?
Basically if your rich you can rape to your hearts content. Thats really sad...
IF that happened (and you are stating only conjecture here)... then it is a man abusing the law (twisting it to his own ends)... and I expect that eventually, someones father or brother or uncle is going to put an end to that man.
You failed to read my question. I will repeat it to help clarify, I asked where in the Bible is there a male character stoned for adultery. I can give dozens of examples.
There is no such place that I can recall.
With Jesus we have the women caught in adultery and about to be stoned. Where is the man ? This further emphasizes that in practical terms the men never got in trouble and it was always the woman.
And is this the fault of the law... or of the men meant to uphold the law? Just curious as to your perspective on that.
If you recall... Christ told the men about to stone the woman 'he who is without sin cast the first stone'. He taught them the meaning of the law: to look to oneself, not to condemn others. He also taught the importance of the law... which is mercy. Shown when He forgave the woman and sent her on her way.
By not including any story or account in such a case, God in his book the Bible is focusing that women are always to blame and at fault.
A couple of errors here.
First, that there is no story does not mean that it never happened.
Second, that it never happened, places the fault on those meant to uphold the law, and not upon the law, itself.
Third, it shows the focus of the men who write the accounts in the bible. Nothing more than that. If you want to know what God focuses upon, then look to His Son. Who loved, taught truth, forgave, healed, and set FREE.
Monkey see monkey do
Yes. EXACTLY. One reason why Christ came. Which is why I cannot understand why you focus upon what was written about, instead of what was shown by CHRIST. Because the example that HE set was NOT to stone the adulteress. It was to show love, forgivness, mercy. To set people FREE. Not to enslave. Not to condemn.
To serve as He served.
To love as He loved.
To forgive... as He forgave.
To set free... as He set free.
To show mercy... as HE showed mercy.
Monkey see, monkey do... indeed. If only people would actually understand this. Nothing else is needed. Not looking back at the law... which saved no one... and was not understood by so many, including the scribes who penned it. Not man... who can save no one.
Just Christ... who came to lead the captives free, and teach the truth, and give Life.
So simple.
Peace,
