21 The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:

King James Version (WordSearch Edition) Chapter 8

John 8:11

11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

So here we have Peter and the other Apostles, and this adulteress is thrown out to Jesus and those who were trying to trick Christ Jesus — note this, people do try to trick us — by getting him to say something against the Law of Moses, so they could condemn him and kill him. They did not understand that Christ Jesus is the fulfillment of the law. Still, Christ Jesus does not condemn her: here I say and believe; it was because King David repented of his adulterous affair with Bathsheba that God in turn gave us the grace to repent of our sinfulness, of adultery. I say this for it is in a like manner, akin, to Abraham being willing to sacrifice his son, and thus God sacrificed his Son for the forgiveness of humankind. Now in perception some believe because Christ Jesus did not condemn the adulterous that Jesus made adultery not a sin, but I assure you this is not the case. For in many other parts of the Gospel it tells us that adultery, if left unrepented, is a sin which may lead us to eternal condemnation. Now here let us look at what the Apostle Peter says: now he is not trying to be clever but is trying to show the great mercies and the grace of forgiveness; still, this statement is difficult to understand and it seemingly goes against the understanding of the Laws of God and the Prophets: (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: so, Saint Peter says not by the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but of the answer of a good conscience towards God; still, this is like a catch-22 statement. For we have to repent and turn away from our sinful flesh in order to have a good conscience toward God, yet it is the good conscience towards God and not the putting away of the filth of the flesh that is important. I contend that this is because we are also taught, someplace, that the sins of the flesh will fall away, but the sins of pride do not: the sin of pride is more unforgiving than the sin of the flesh according to God, our Lord Christ Jesus.... Substantially, we must understand that we commit the sin of pride when we lie, to ourselves, thus being prideful about the sins of the flesh that we commit — believing ourselves to be in good conscience if we are committing the sinful, sins of the flesh, which cannot be the case. We can look to Saul, king, for explanation of this wrong thinking: Saul was told to kill all the animal of the Amorites, but the idea came into his head that he would sacrifice some of the Amorites’ animals instead of his own, and thus give a pretend show of thanks to God, our Heavenly Father for delivering the Amorites into his hands. It was pride that made Saul believe that this falsehood would be acceptable to God, our Heavenly Father — what the heck Saul, the king, thought: why not save a couple of my best bulls from sacrifice when these are fine bulls and they should do the trick just fine....
