  1. When you speculated that Jesus was writing the names of those who accused her in the dirt, why did you not mention the woman at the well as she stated to her tribe, “he knew everything about me…” Thus giving power to those who dropped their stones and walked away. Jesus knew everything about them.
    And if he wrote their names in the dirt, was Jesus forgiving them their sins as what is written in the dirt is wiped away with the breath of God?

    1. Our sins are always forgiven us but we have a role in that as well as we need to seek repentance. Teshuvah (repentance in Hebrew) means to turn away from. If one does not turn from their sins and continues to live a life of sinfulness, forgiveness does not act as a revolving door. We are active participants. Work out your own salvation!
