And I guess you were right outside when Jesus forgave Mary Magdalen. Or when the other women in the Bible risked their lives for Christ and His word.

I'm pretty comfortable with God and His son, thank you. Perhaps you might want to remove that log in your eye. As a sinner, I pull at least one out every day. But I'm a woman, so maybe not.

Nope but the scripture is rich on this subject. What do we know about this subject. That Jesus knew he would be stoned to death if he called for her death (only a Roman official could do so) so he had to use his wit to get out of the situation. We know that the Jews also would hold it against Jesus if he did not follow the law. We know Jesus has the power to forgive those that justly deserved the death penalty. He forgave King David earlier for a sin that also deserved death. Talk about a master the way Jesus worked though that difficulty. Praise be to Him. He didn't invoke the Roman wrath and didn't break a commandment.

Or when the other women in the Bible risked their lives for Christ and His word.

Ohh yes there is plenty of strong women in the Bible that did a man's job when a man would not do it. God will use all that he had to work with and women in some sections in time were more Godly than the men that were suppose to lead. God even punished countries for not having men do their jobs and leaving it up to the women.

This book is a good read on the subject.
