Who here has the courage to reject the Pericope Adulterae?
#57
Shlama,


concerning the Pericope here:

i recently was doing some reading in the Talmud, and it stated that the punishment of stoning for adultery was reserved only for a betrothed virgin between the ages of 12-14 years. otherwise, if the female was older, the punishment during the first century for adultery was strangulation. so there's a detail worthy of note IF the P.A. was indeed an accurate portrayal of a true event: we're dealing with a very young girl as opposed to a full grown woman.

i'm still not convinced it actually happened, but am not against the possibility.


Chayim b'Moshiach,
Jeremy
