To clarify that I'm not simply engaging in name calling.
Many presume that troll refers to the ugly monsters who eat people alive, but the term derives from the practice in fishing of dragging a baited hook or lure behind a moving boat (trolling). In other words, trolls are looking for some sucker to bite.

Characteristics
A troll usually has little or no interest in contributing to the development of the site in question.
Pretends to be profoundly ignorant. Makes himself the main topic of interest or discussion.

Jacob, you wrote: I believe Jesus observed and taught the Law.

Did He observe the Mosaic law when He told the woman caught in adultery that He did not condemn her?
The Pharisees present knew that the Mosaic law said to stone her to death:

They said to him, “Teacher, this woman has been caught in the act of adultery. Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. So what do you say?” (Rom 8:4,5)

So if Jesus had observed the Mosaic law, why did He not say, "The Law is clear. She must be stoned!" and then throw the first stone at her Himself? He went completely against the Mosaic Law by simply saying, "I don't condemn you. Go and don't sin any more."
I also believe 100% Moses' Law is God's Law.
Do you have a rebellious son? If so, when are you going to have him stoned to death?

Man judges a person by his past deeds, and administers penalties for his wrongdoing. God judges a person by his present character, and disciplines him that he may become righteous.

Jesus was the only one left. His not condemning her was not contradictory to the Law at all.

I am not married, so I have no children.

I fed the troll. Jacob is just playing games. It's all laid out in this interaction.

In a private conversation, Jacob asked me this question:
Jacob said: I do not know why you feel you should have anything against me.
I said: Tell me, what was Steve's critique of you today?
Jacob said: I was not on the radio today.
I said: Follow this link.

Jacob said: You can see this.
I said: What was Steve's critique of you today? In that post? If you are uncertain why I would have anything against you, look in Steve's response to you and tell me what he has against you. Type a summary to me.
Jacob said: I don't understand what you believe he has against me nor why you would have anything against me.
I said: The answer is found in his message at 10:04 today.

What did he say? What did it mean?
Jacob said: You can read what he said. I believe you have said he has something against me, and that you are asking me what he meant.

Do you have anything against me?
I replied: I will answer your question only if you will paraphrase what Steve said at 10:04 today.
Jacob replied: I am sorry, but Steve's words are not my words.

Jacob, I am sorry for the things I said about you. Having spoke with you in private messages I don't believe you have the motives I thought I saw.
