jt: How do you know this woman was repentant? I've
never heard that before but I have heard ppl comment on the hypocrisy of
bringing her to Jesus and letting the man involved off (she didn't commit
adultery by herself); also if there is so much grace and warm fuzzies going
on how is it that Paul was scourged five times by the Jews while doing the
Lord's ministry?
Would Christ have forgiven her and sent her on her way if she was not
repentant? Laura
jt: I don't think we can assume that she was
repentant right at that moment. She may have been sorry she was caught in
the act - sorry isn't exactly the same, it's more like a 'crying
drunk' and the sorrow of the world only works death. But Jesus only did
what he first saw the Father doing so possibly repentance would be a future
reality for this woman since Jesus told her to "go and sin no more" which
would be repentance as a way of life. judyt
