ummm the OT was NEVER done away with! Afterall, EVERY text Jesus and the apostles quote was from the OLD TESTAMENT because the NEW TESTAMENT didn't even exist at the time! If you do away with the OT you do away with over 50% of the NT!! The old covenant was done away with. The old covenant was having to take lambs to the sanctuary, confess your sins on them, slay them, do the Day of Atonement and other feast days, etc. JESUS did away with that! it was nailed to the cross! Jesus FULFILLED the ceremonial law! He WAS the lamb slain from the foundation of the world! All the ceremonial laws pointed FORWARD to Jesus and what he would accomplish for us on the cross, but it did NOT do away with the writings of the Old Testaments, of which MOST is prophecies about Jesus and even things that will happen at the end of time!
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 4990480 So... if the law of the old testament that said it is okay to stone people to death was not meant to be changed by the change of mens HEARTS then why did he save the woman from being stoned? He asked " Who condems you?" She replied after she looked around and saw that everyone was gone "No one Lord" He replied " Neither do I. Go and sin no more". That is part of the New Covenant. The story about the woman caught in adultery was almost surely not a part of the original text. If you have one of the major translations (such as ESV or NASB), they will have a footnote at the bottom saying that this story is not to be found in most of the oldest manuscripts. Most likely it was inserted later by someone. But even if it was a part of the Bible, that story wouldn't prove your point. Jesus never said that stoning was a bad thing. Have you noticed that the male adulterer never shows up in this story? It takes two to tango, so where's the man? Jesus realized there was something fishy about her accusers' story, so he said that she should be let go. He never said stoning was a bad thing. He only suggested that she shouldn't be stoned.
