yes, you don't read later where Christ tells us new comadment is to love one another and that sin is now forgiving and that God and God alone punishes
the old covenant and the new covneat
Christ died so that instead of us having to die, or a sacrifice like an animal only he did, so WE dont die, you will find this in many of his preaches in the four gospels, but your not going to read the bible,. your going to read that part and go "oh they don't follow that, thew PICK WHAT THEY WANT)
HE was the sacrifice, HE was punished for that sin
if you dont read the whole bible, its taken out of context, how would you like it if I took out of ALL your post bits one or two posts, would you say that's a fair way to "judge" what your about?
1 But Jesus went to (A)the Mount of Olives. 2 Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and (B)He sat down and began to teach them. 3 The scribes and the Pharisees *brought a woman caught in adultery, and having set her in the center of the court, 4 they *said to Him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in adultery, in the very act. 5 Now in the Law (C)Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?” 6 They were saying this, (D)testing Him, (E)so that they might have grounds for accusing Him. But Jesus stooped down and with His finger wrote on the ground. 7 But when they persisted in asking Him, (F)He straightened up, and said to them, “(G)He who is without sin among you, let him be the (H)first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again He stooped down and wrote on the ground. 9 When they heard it, they began to go out one by one, beginning with the older ones, and He was left alone, and the woman, where she was, in the center of the court. 10 (I)Straightening up, Jesus said to her, “Woman, where are they? Did no one condemn you?” 11 She said, “No one, [a]Lord.” And Jesus said, “(J)I do not condemn you, either. Go. From now on (K)sin no more.”]
"15...we know that a person is not justifieda by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified.
17But if, in our endeavor to be justified in Christ, we too were found to be sinners, is Christ then a servant of sin? Certainly not! 18For if I rebuild what I tore down, I prove myself to be a transgressor. 19For through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. 20I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose" - Galatians 2:15-21
By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
Romans 8:3-4
so thats what... four right there? there are more
The law existed in a time where sin was punishable with death, it still is today, but Christ was the one punished.
That is totally irrelevant. It puts women below men, regardless of how they're treated. You can be nice to your slaves too, but that doesn't justify slavery.
Except you will see that it DONT put women under men, anymore then it puts a kid under parents
men are called to protect women, in a time when they where needed, you would find Christ spoke to women as equals, never made a claim they had to "be under men" they where under men in the sense of under their protection and to be respected yes.
There are literally hundreds of objectionable verses in the Bible, and all your yelling about context won't change that.
And no matter how many times you claim there is, it don't make it true either now dose it?
