NewsWeak double issue. Meaning 6 pages vs 3 pages? Seriously the last time I picked up this rag it nearly blew away.
John 8 King James Version (KJV)
1 Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
2 And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them.
3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
4 They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?
6 This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not.
7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
8 And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
9 And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?
11 She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.
Newsweak trying to show their relevance yet again ....
There is so much wrong with this article that I wouldn’t even know where to begin. I would probably start here:
http://clashdaily.com/2014/04/twisting-scripture-casting-stones/
The Pharisees sinned. They broke the law in an effort to discredit Christ. The law stated they needed an eyewitness, and not just one but 2 or 3. They had none. The punishment for breaking the law was the punishment that they intended for her, stoning. In the passage the oldest drop their stones first as they KNEW they broke the law. That is why Jesus said "He who is without sin cast the first stone". None could without condeming themselves.
Deuteronomy 19:15
One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.
Deuteronomy 19:18-19
The judges shall inquire diligently, and if the witness is a false witness and has accused his brother falsely, then you shall do to him as he had meant to do to his brother.
The buyer overpaid.

The Bible: So Misunderstood It’s a Sin
By Kurt Eichenwald / December 23, 2014 6:54 AM EST

Oh, my!!
Guess Eichenwald's less-than scholarly piece means tomorrow night's "address" can't/won't include any scriptural justification for the "fair share" politics of so-called "progressives."
Anyway, those who study the history of liberty versus tyranny understand that "fair share," when used by politicians, is just "slavery" by another name. Government "masters" buy votes in exchange for retaining their "master redistributionist" status, while their "voters" yield up freedom for themselves and future generations.
"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C. S. Lewis
All who doubt the wisdom of Lewis, as well as a bit of proof that the "Left" "picks and chooses" scriptures, might watch the video of a National Prayer Breakfast a few years ago. There, a President arrogantly misappropriated Jesus's spiritual challenge to individuals, claiming those words as validating and authorizing abusive use of coercive power by himself and his cronies to "take" from some in order to buy votes and accumulate more power to themselves--all in the name of "helping" the beneficiaries of such unconstitutional "takings."
Hear Samuel Adams:
"Is it now high time for the people of this country to explicitly declare whether they will be free men or slaves. It is an important question which ought to be decided. It concerns more than anything in this life. The salvation of our souls is interested in this event. For wherever tyranny is established, immorality of every kind comes in like a torrent, it is in the interest of tyrants to reduce the people to ignorance and vice.” - Samuel Adams
And:
“The utopian schemes of leveling and a community of goods, are as visionary and impractical as those which vest all property in the crown. These ideas are arbitrary, despotic, and, in our government unconstitutional.” - Samuel Adams
A perfect description not of fundamentalists, but of progressive "christians" who only got into christianity in order to "reform" and politicize it.
What’s a “Newsweek?”
Looks like Newsweek is well on the way to being out of business.
At 5:46 the question is asked about islam allowing Women to be stoned to death.
She said that Stoning Women to death comes from the Bible.

What is lost here with the way the writer opens the article is that the Pharisees brought the woman to Jesus as a ploy to get Jesus in trouble with the Magistrate.
Remember, this is propaganda.
It is laying the ground work for the Roberts’ court to start banning orthodox Christians by saying they are not “real” Christians.
