The Woman Taken in Adultery (Remastered)

from The Institutes of Biblical Law · host R.J. Rushdoony

The Woman Taken in Adultery demonstrates not the setting aside of God’s law but its decisive confirmation by Christ, who exposes the hypocrisy and antinomianism of the scribes and Pharisees while upholding the law’s full authority. By invoking the requirements of Numbers 5 and demanding honest witnesses, Jesus placed the accusers themselves on trial, affirming the death penalty in principle while showing that no lawful case could proceed once the guilty witnesses withdrew. His refusal to condemn the woman was therefore judicial, not moral: the law stood, the charge collapsed, and the woman was dismissed with a command to repent “go, and sin no more.” Far from abolishing the law, Christ revealed Himself as its true champion, distinguishing civil judgment from spiritual forgiveness and exposing Pharisaism as a religion of self-righteous tradition that denied conversion, distorted the law, and stood condemned by the very standard it claimed to uphold. #WomanTakenInAdultery #BiblicalLaw #ChristAndTheLaw #JusticeAndMercy #NoAntinomianism #Repentance #PharisaismExposed #ScriptureTruth #LawUpheld
