4.no because her punishment shouldnt come from man but from God, later in life she will recieve her punishment.

1. While it is obvious that the woman is guilty, what elements of a setup can you find in this situation?
The fact that they were able to catch a woman in the act of adultery at the exact time that Jesus would be there could be one sign of a set up. Also, more than one person brought her to Jesus (v. 3). It would seem like too many people were involved for it to be coincidental.
2. The Pharisees and teachers boasted loudly about how good and holy they were. Why do you think they leave rather than stone the woman (vv. 7-9)?
Christ, through His Word, has a way of confronting all of us (not just the Scribes and Pharisees) to deal honestly with our own sin. I think the words Jesus spoke pierced them to their wicked hearts, and they had no other choice but to put down the stones and walk away.
3. How would you describe Jesus' attitude toward the woman (vv. 10-11)?
He forgave her of her sin and referenced the confrontation with the Scribes and Pharisees to show her that He knew the condition of every person’s heart.
4. Do you think Jesus is condoning the woman's sin by not condemning her? Explain.
No, He never condones sin. However, I believe His statement “go, and sin no more” expresses to the woman her responsibility to live right in the light of His forgiveness. I also believe there is belief in the woman’s heart regarding who Christ is, and according to Romans 8:1 there is no condemnation to those who believe in Christ Jesus.
Answer to 1.
They had been tryin to catch her in the act for awhile it seems like.
Answer to 2.
It says they were convicted by what Jesus said. It was actually because of Jesus that they didnt stone her. If Jesus wasnt there they probably would have stoned her.
Answer to 3.
He gave her a second chance to live a moral life.
Answer to 4.
No of course not, hes just tryin to give her a challenge to live for Christ and to stop living with all of these guys.
1. The pharisees thought since the woman commited adultery she should be stoned and they were going to blame Jesus for it.
2.Because Jesus had convicted them and if He had not of been there they probley would have stoned her.
3. He loved her even though she was a sinner and then gave her a second chance.
4. No because he is just trying to make her live for him.
