Question: @/christian tumblr, what are yalls thoughts on John 8? Specifically the section that is apparently not there in the original manuscript that was added later (the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery)?

My personal conviction is that it doesn't matter if it was in the original or not because it perfectly makes sense for something like this to have happened even if it didn't; it's not a contradiction of anything so I have no reason to question it. In fact, it supports the narrative greatly.

That said, anyone else have any thoughts??

JOHN 8: 32

=========

(BI 1)

John 8:32 (ESV)

"And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."

INTERPRETATION

✍️ Jesus Christ said these words to the Jews who had believed in Him.

✍️ The scripture has two parts, the first part is knowing the truth and the second part is the truth setting free.

1. Know the Truth.

✍️ What is this Truth that they had to know?In John 14:6, Jesus Christ reveals Himself as the Truth and in the same John 17:17, our Lord Jesus Christ points out the Word of God being the Truth.

✍️ So,having the above revelation we can interprete the Truth as Jesus Christ himself and also the Word of God.

2. The Truth setting free.

✍️ From what is the Truth setting people free? In the context of Jesus Christ being the Truth, those who know (believe) Him are set free from the slavery or bondage of sin. (Matthew 1:21)

✍️ In the context of the Word of God being the Truth, those who know (abide in it) are set free from false teachings, ignorance (Hosea 4:6) and from sinning (Psalms 119:11).

How Yeshua describes his followers

How Yeshua describes his followers

John 8:30-32 – “As he was saying these things, many believed in him. So Yeshua said to the Jews who had believed him, ‘If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.'” Yeshua says that in order to be his followers or disciples, one must abide in his word. What does this mean and how is it done? Yeshua’s word is his teaching,…

Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.

Then Jesus stood up again and said to the woman, “Where are your accusers? Didn’t even one of them condemn you?” “No, Lord,” she said. And Jesus said, “Neither do I. Go and sin no more.”

John 8:10-11

[xojessicarivers]

The Word for the Week: Micah‬ ‭7:18‬ ‭‬‬ “Who is a God like you, who pardons sin and forgives the transgression of the remnant of his inheritance? You do not stay angry forever but delight to show mercy.” ‭‭ God wants us to show mercy, just as He would show mercy to us.‬‬ “because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment.” -James‬ ‭2:13‬ A great example of this would be in John 8, when the Pharisees brought a woman caught in the act of adultery to Jesus: “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?” “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.””
