How does Yeshua use the Torah to deal with adultery?
Let’s take a look at an example in which deliberate judgment is demonstrated by Jesus in the case of the woman “caught in the very act of adultery” (according to the KJV) from the eighth chapter of the Gospel of John. Although most are familiar with this passage, let us refresh our memory before we continue. |
Recently the Messianic Times has asked me to join their blogging team and post a once-a-month blog. We had some complications last month and it didn't make it, but as of today we are up and running. My "column" is called "Hear and Do" and is focused on addressing issues such as the struggle with hypocrisy among Believers (Messianics in particular), biblical ethics, Jewish prayer and more. Please keep this endeavor in your prayers. We are in serious need of exposure. We currently do not have the support we need to continue our mission. Please pray that this opens doors for Emet HaTorah and speaks to the hearts of our readers. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR CONTACTING THE MESSIANIC TIMES AND THANKING THEM FOR ADDING ME TO THEIR BLOG TEAM, so that they know people are reading the blog posts. You can view my current blog post ("On Three Things") here: |
