The New Testament (Bible) DOES NOT invalidate the violent Old Testament Laws

I appreciate IntellectVsSpirit5000 taking this debate. I admit this story of the adulterer is one that I forgot. Here are a couple issues with that passage: 1.This story does not speak directly to the topic of the current validity Old Testament laws. Jesus simply sent the woman away and told her to sin no more. At most, this can only be an insinuation of a message that is open to interpretation and assumption. 2.The Bible is considered to be the moral authority by Christians; a code by which they live their lives. Is there any example of any governing authority changing laws that have to do with who is executed and who is not without clear communication of exactly what the new laws are to the citizens under that authority? Even a poor leader would see the importance of leaving no ambiguity about such serious laws. 3.Even on the link that was provided, it is presented that that text was added to the original books of the Bible. During the 16th century, both Catholic and Protestant scholars sought to recover the most correct Greek text of the New Testament, rather than relying on the Vulgate Latin translation. It was found that most of the early manuscripts lacked this passage and the ones that did, contained critical signs such as a lemniscus or asterisk. It is also noted by scholars that this passage is stylistically out of sync with the rest fo the text attributed to the original author, meaning it was later added by unknown authors. The United Bible Societies is critical of the origin of the text and rates its reconstruction of the wording of the periscope as "virtually certain" to reflect the original text of the ADDITION. 4.At best, it is just a story of Jesus openly defying the laws of Moses without providing any explanation or clarification. At worst, it is a passage that never originally existed and was added later by an unknown author. This passage is nothing more than insinuation that requires assumption. On top of that, many biblical scholars do not believe it is authentic. If we are going to change such impactful laws regarding when to put people to death, is that the best clarification god can provide? After all, the bible minces no words about the laws of the old testament and is very clear. There is no insinuations or required assumptions. Because the origin and the message of this passage is so much in question, maybe we can look to some quotes with clear meaning attributed to Jesus for direction: "For truly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass the law until all is accomplished. Whoever then relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who does them and teaches them shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven." (Matthew 5:18-19) "It is easier for Heaven and Earth to pass away than for the smallest part of the letter of the law to become invalid." (Luke 16:17) "Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place." (Matthew 5:17) "Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law" (John7:19)
