The interesting question is: Was Jesus Liberal of Conservative? Love  
or Judgement? He was both, depending on the person he was talking or  
dealing with.

See Leviticus 20:10 and I quote: If {there is} a man who commits  
adultery with another man's wife, one who commits adultery with his  
friend's wife, the adulterer and the adulteress (my emphasis added)  
shall surely be put to death."

When you read John 8:1-11, you see the Jews ONLY bringing the woman,  
where's the man here? It takes two to tango, unless it is rape.
