Moses10

First off, as this evening begins the Jewish Feast of Tabernacle, let me wish you a hap;y week plus one day for this time of year. In one of the most disputed passage of scripture we read of this feast and the plus one (also known as the eight day assembly.) The passage is John 7:53-8:11, many scholars believe this passage is not inspired or was not part of John's Gospel, it is also known as the pericope de adultera--the story of the adulteress. If one looks at the beginning of John 7, verse 2, we read, "Now the Jews feast of tabernacles was at hand" But what happens on the last day of the feast. (37) In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying. If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink. (38) He that believeth om Me, as the scripture hath said out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (39) (But this spake He of the Spirit, which they that believe on Him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given: because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) John 7:37-39, Jesus is telling us here that we are to become the Tabernacle of God or the Temple of God (I Corithians 3:16;6:19). So what does all this have to do with the woman caught in adultery. Will first one of the argurements, against this passage being inspired or part of John's Gospel is the question many scholars ask, why would John state "And every man went unto his own house." John 7:53 For many scholars this proves this passage in spurious, but a closer look tells it fits just perfectly for this is the same day that Jesus promise rivers of living water that is the Holy Spirit, which is the last day of the feast of tabernacles (john 7:37-53), and when Jewish people celebrate this holiday most would have stayed in a Sukkot, so that very eveining at sunset the feast of tabernacle, was done (Leviticus 23:33-36), and the eight day assembly began, so every man could now go home and leave his temporary tabernacle, just as one day we all will go home and leave this tabernacle (II Corinthians 5:1-8). The eight day assembly would also explain John 8:1-2, for on this day the Jews finish and restart their Torah Reading, so Jesus would have wanted to in the Temple early in the morning. The rest of the story of the adulteress is not about an adulteress woman, but mankinds adultery/idolatry against God. For these Jewish leaders refused Jesus and His offer of rivers of liviing water/Holy Spirit. But the adulteress woman just as many of us his saints, was full of sin, but just as we accepted His gift of live (Romans 6:23), so did she (John 8:10-11). I truly believe this passage of the woman caught in adultery fulfilled a prophecy by Jeremiah. Which also helps us to understand what Jesus wrote in the ground the first time (John 8:6) and what He wrote the second time. Remember that in John 7:37-39, Jesus promises "rivers of living water/the Holy Spirit, but the Jewish leaders would not accept this gift for if they did why wpi;d they tempt Jesus (John 8;3-6). So Jesus knowing that these leaders refuse His gift wrote this passage from Jeremiah: "O LORD, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from Me, shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the LORD, the fountain of living waters. (Jeremiah 17:13). I think that next Jesus began writing their names in ground (John 8:8-9) begiinnin g from the eldest to the last. These are just my views on this passage.

I do believe that Chazz Bono, could repent, but see it as highly unlikelyl Because there is an outcry in the US today that you can't legislate morality. But morality is legislated by either enforcing high morals or allowing low morals. Today in the United States our morals are very low. Same sex marriage, abortion, adultery, sex changes, etc. are no longer consider taboo, but our celebrated by hollywood, and politicians. It is like the first chapter of Romans (Romans 1:18-32) has become the law of our country, I believe most Americans do need a change of heart, but first we need to pray for a renewing of the mind as we as a country have a reprobate mind. (Romans 1:28) Until than I don't see Chazz or other like this person repenting.

Judge not according to the appearrance, but judge righteous judgement. John 7:24 So as a teacher from school one said, people say we are to follow the Bible, which is true, but she says the Bible says Judas hanged himself, that doesn't mean we go do the same. Righteous judgement is always done in love (James 2:8-13; Romans 14:13), by the power of the Spirit (I Corinthians 2:15).

Yea I also think this is referred to in I Peter 3:19; 4:6. Thanks Mizzdy1

Really?! What does the Talmud have to say about it? Yes I also like to know what does the Talmud say?

Yea this really saddened me, even though I live in the US. I was really rooting for the Magpies. What little I have seen of the AFL, I really like. Can't say I like rugby much.

I think everyone else is right it sounds like Luke 7. But it could also be I Timothy 1:9-16.

This evening at sunset, Oct. 7 or the tenth of Tishrei, when the Sabbath begins, will be a High Sabbath, as it is Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement). Leviticus 16 describes this Holy Day, it was the one day of the year under the Old Testament/Old Covenant that the Jewish High Priest could go into the Most Holy Place of the Jewish Tabernacle and later the Temple. But on this day beside other normal sacrifices the high priest was to take two goats into the Tabernacle/Temple. I bring this up because when Pilate wife mention her dream to Pilate we hear about Barabbas, who I believe would representive the scrapegoat/Azazel (Leviticus 16:8), while Jesus was the one upon whom"the Lord's lot felll" (Leviticus 16:10). For Jesus on that Passover Day, died for all mankind sins, while Barabbas who had a sentence of death upon him was released just as the scrapegoat or if you rather the Azazel.. Matthew 27:15-26. I believe that her dream was to demonstrate how Jesus was God chosen sacrifice. We later read about this in Hebrews 7-10, how Christ Jesus gives us the New Covenant/ New Testament.

The human author of about half the New Testament Books, wrote that the good that he would do he does not, and the evil that he would not do that he does (Romans 7:15-23), then Paul writes (24) O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death? (25) I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin. Romans 7:24-25 Paul was also told by God that in his weakness, God strength is made perfect (I Corinthians 12:9). As for our talents I think some people know what they are and others need to ask God's guidance (James 1:5-6).
