1./ During my quiet time today, my bible passage told the story of the woman caught in adultery.
After I dwelt on the immeasurable grace of God, several questions nagged at me.
What happened to the man she was caught with?
Which of the 2 of them was married?

2./ At least one must have been because the act was referred to as adultery.
I suspect it was the man because there’s no mention of an irate husband. But I may be wrong.
Yet no one dragged her male counterpart out, or tried to bring him to book.

3./ He obviously wasn’t there trying to fight her corner either.
Cowardly toad.
The nagging issue for me was that nothing has changed. The woman always bears the weight of guilt in sexual misconduct.
I couldn’t help but wonder at her shame.

4./Was she allowed to put on her clothes? Or was she dragged out in a state of déshabillé?
Female nudity continues to fascinate the world. At the drop of a hat, a woman is stripped bare for any offence.
Female sexuality also remains a matter with which woman are often shamed.

5./ When society decided that a woman should bear the burden of guilt in illicit sexual liaisons with men, what informed the decision to absolve men of all agency?
I came to the conclusion that everyone wants to receive the grace Jesus showed to the woman accused of adultery.

6./ Everyone likes to point fingers at her accusers.
While a good many of us are that woman and in need of God’s grace, a great many more are the accusers and wallow in a pool of self-righteousness. Dressed in a toga of faux piousness.
