Whether he did or didn't say that ... it helped formulate a body of thought which found its way into our modern culture ... and it's not inconsistent with other new testament teachings.In response to all the John 8 references, please look at the note in the margin of your bible. The story of the woman caught in adultery is not in the oldest documents, it is a later addition Jeus did not say that.
The expressions of John 8 are First Century Greek. The subject matter is Palestinian. The writing style is actually Lucan, not Johannine, and one family of manuscripts places the story in Luke (f8 I believe). The story is described by pretty early Church Fathers, its historical placement as First Century is not widely challenged. The second and third-century emphasis on sexual purity was so great that according to the Church Fathers the story was removed from liturgical copies of Scripture so as not to be read publicly.In response to all the John 8 references, please look at the note in the margin of your bible.

Ahh ... you mean the same way that the scribes and Pharisees were concerned with old testament teachings ...My mistake, I thought Christians were concerned with what Jesus actually said.
As long as people cow-tow to media, we only have professional politicians.Are there conservative or liberal politicians?
Seems to me there's just politicians.

Good thing we don't live under the Law, eh? Good thing Jesus didn't pick up a stone and nail the adulterous woman with it, eh? That play is really weak and old.
Perhaps tulc doesn't understand Christianity nearly so well as he thinks he does.
Old covenant --> Judaic law
The Israelis don't even adhere to strict Judaic law, though some sects of Judaism are more strict than others.
New covenant --> tolerance, forgiveness, love and commandments as the path to God's kingdom ... in other words, an individual calling
Given that Christianity is all about the new covenant, I fail to see how all the flaming rhetoric about Santorum's religiosity is anything other than sheer hyperbole ... which is to say, completely without merit.
Agreed, the commandments are as valid as ever. Only the old punishments went away under the new covenant.Except even Jesus said he didn't come to do away with the law. Sorry there is no new covenant just alot of christians who don't want to following the law.
Getting back to Rick Santorum's lack of fiscal conservatism.
Why should Tea Party activist support Rick Santorum when he previously has come out publicly denouncing the Tea Party movement?
It amazes me that people will support a candidate based on what he says now and completely overlook his past record.
Then please do provide a reference for exactly what he did say. Rumor and innuendo abound, but if you can provide a solid reference I'll be happy to consider it.

One very clear difference between old and new covenants is seen in regard to food. Explicitly, the strict dietary restrictions of the old covenant are no longer required to be obeyed.
