John 8:3&4
"3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto Him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto Him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act."
GOD is Omnipotent, Omniscience and Omnipresent!
GOD is beyond our understanding. There is much more that God does than we can understand. It's okay to misunderstand God. BUT! We must also make our best efforts to know and love GOD. Our GOD who sent His only Son to become the sacrifice for all the sins in the world! AND! That Son sat amongst people and patiently taught them about Heavenly truths. In the Temple, the house of GOD. Were the people earnestly trying to learn???
Today's verses might indicate otherwise; "And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto Him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto Him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, IN THE VERY ACT."
By this time in the Gospel of John the scribes and Pharisees are OUT to GET Jesus any way they can. They brought in a woman caught in the act of adultery. (We of course wonder where the man is, and can only speculate.) The Jewish leaders intentions are very insidious. Their Roman occupiers have reformed the legal system of Judea to match Roman laws. One outstanding difference was the penalty for adultery was no longer death.
What the Pharisees are trying to set up is another trap! If Jesus says that the law of Moses needs to be enforced and this woman executed; then Jesus is guilty of sedition in the eyes of Rome. IF Jesus says the woman goes free they will say He is not upholding the Jewish law and is giving in to their heathen masters. The Jewish people would be very upset by this. This trap the Pharisees have crafted is depraved and wicked.
