I assume by your answer that you don't believe that Jesus is God. Since Jesus is God don't you know that he is the fulfillment of the Law? (Matt 5:17) How can Jesus being the fulfillment of the law break his own Law?
Furthermore, it appears that you are not even familiar with the Law as it pertains to this case. Why is that? The Law states: ‘If there is a man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, one who commits adultery with his friend’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely be put to death (Leviticus 20:10.) It takes two persons to commit adultery so where was the other guilty party? According to the Law both parties are to be stoned. Since the other person was not brought before Jesus for stoning Jesus would have been in violation of the Law if he had allowed her death only.
Secondly, Deuteronomy 17:5-7 states: then you shall bring out that man or that woman who has done this evil deed, to your gates, that is, the man or the woman, and you shall stone them to death. 6 "On the evidence of two witnesses or three witnesses, he who is to die shall be put to death; he shall not be put to death on the evidence of one witness. 7 "The hand of the witnesses shall be first against him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.
Where were the supposed "witnesses?" They all left. Jesus asked the woman if anyone condemned her and she replied "no one." Therefore, Jesus did not break the Law as you falsely claim as there remained no witnesses to condemn her. Jesus could not stone her himself either because the witness had to be the first one to stone her.
The more you respond, the more you prove your unfamiliarity and/or disregard for the scriptures.
I know it is convenient for you to believe Jesus was not preaching against Moses and the law, but you do so because of your bias for your beliefs. If Jesus had other issues with how the woman was tried, he never mentioned them. All Jesus mentioned was that if they were innocent before God of sin to go ahead and stone her. You see the law of Moses demanded a person not knowingly transgress it, or one was cut off from the covenant with no way to be forgiven and thus their sin was upon them. So one had to be innocent of knowingly doing wrong to have any hope in the old covenant. Jesus was innocent and he did not stone her, as Moses demanded, not for the reasons you have made up, but because of the New Covenant/Contract Rules that he lived by on forgiveness: which you seem to be unaware of (seeing you don't mention them at all as the reason behind Jesus not wanting the accusers to stone the woman).
If the above isn't proof enough Jesus broke the old covenant law of Moses, then
maybe (although I doubt it) Jesus's own words are:
16And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto,
and I work.
Now maybe you will try and justify Jesus as not breaking the Sabbath in some way, but here is the absolute nail in your coffin:
8Jesus saith unto him, Rise,
take up thy bed, and walk. 9And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and
on the same day was the sabbath.10The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day:
it is not lawful for thee to carry thybed.
Jesus told a man to carry his bed on the Sabbath and there is no way the man or Jesus could be right under Moses old covenant law for doing so.
Here is John's commentary on the situation:
18Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him,
because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
Notice John never said because they said he broke the Sabbath. .. No, John states
BECAUSE HE...HAD BROKEN THE SABBATH.
Here is the whole account from John 6:
1After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
2Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep
market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches.
3In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.
4For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.
5And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years.
6When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time
in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole?
7The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me.
8Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk.
9And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.
10The Jews therefore said unto him that was cured, It is the sabbath day: it is not lawful for thee to carry
thybed.
11He answered them, He that made me whole, the same said unto me, Take up thy bed, and walk.
12Then asked they him, What man is that which said unto thee, Take up thy bed, and walk?
13And he that was healed wist not who it was: for Jesus had conveyed himself away, a multitude being in
that place.
14Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee.
15The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had made him whole.
The Father and the Son
16And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day.
17But Jesus answered them, My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.
18Therefore the Jews sought the more to kill him, because he not only had broken the sabbath, but said also that God was his Father, making himself equal with God.
Now I will add something that you seem to not grasp about Jesus and his Rule upon the earth: Jesus, not Moses or the old covenant law, has all authority in heaven and earth and he alone (through his teachings) will judge mankind through the new covenant laws.
22For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
23That all
men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.
24Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
25Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
26For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
27And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
28Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Here is more from John 12:
48He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Do you not understand that the old covenant is not what Jesus lived by? How can you claim to be a follower of Christ and not know these things?
You think Jesus is referring to the old covenant when he stated:
18For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19Whosoever therefore shall break one of
these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach
them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
But answer this: why did Jesus use the word these in verse 19 as oppose to the? The answer is simple: Jesus was referring to his commandments in Matthew 5 not Moses's. But I know you are totally ignorant of the truth of my words and Jesus's when he states in Luke 16:16 "The law and the prophets
were until John..." Moses's old covenant law ended when Jesus was baptized by John: as Jesus was anointed and his Rule began upon the earth.
