>To suggest that He overlooked prostitution as sin is quite ridiculous.<

I don't believe I made any such suggestion. In any case, I'm unsure why you think that this passage is about prostitution (the woman was caught in adultery, whether she was paid for it is not stated).

>they should have also brought before Jesus the guilty man<

If the woman was married, the man would also have been guilty of adultery. If she was not married, he was not. (That, at any rate, is my understanding of what adultery meant in the OT.)

It seems to me, in any case, that this passage may have something to tell Christians about overly zealous application of OT law?
