OK. So you must not be a jew or a christian. Christians know that the law was there to expose sin since no one can fulfill the law. The law points to the need for a savior. Jesus Christ came and is our savior. With Christ we are not bound by the law. Christ did point to the need to honor the commandments and many things in the OT however stoning certainly is not one of them nor other petty requirements pertaining to food etc outlined in the torah. Jesus said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". I see you are familiar with that.
So, yes God meant it in the OT for the reasons stated above. However we should not be stoning people. We should be encouraging them to repent and come to Christ. Hope that helps. Cheers.
Thankfully, i think that the qualification is above your pay grade, as it is above mine. But logic would dictate that a 'Christian' is one who follows Christ. And Yeshua (Christ) said to do and teach Torah... Explicitly.

That is not precisely true - Look at it from the reverse - If the fulfillment of the law negates it's purpose, then there is no more any sin, since the Torah is the definition of sin. Every time the New Testament speaks of sin, or wickedness, or iniquity, it is by definition pointing the reader right back at the Torah. So it cannot be done away with.

All true. But If we love YHWH, we will keep His commandments. We are no longer bound by the curses of the law. we are bound by our love of YHWH, and our desire to keep the Torah (instructions) of His House.

That cannot be true - The Torah cannot be added to or taken from. It is ONE THING. ANYONE who adds to or takes away from Torah is a false prophet.
Jesus said "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone". I see you are familiar with that.
Yes. And as I said, one might better understand the passage if one understands who has the right to cast the first stone (according to Torah), and what happens if they didn't cast it... In that you will find YHWH's intention wrt mercy. You might also note that Yeshua did not deny her crime, nor her death sentence... He pointed out that those accusing her were not qualified to stone her... Read the Torah with that in mind, and you will find something beautiful.
