"Because the good Lord gave me common sense."

So as long as anyone agrees with your particular interpretation of scripture and applies your logic and common sense the Kingdom of Heaven is theirs, but woe to them who see or know things differently based upon their common sense.

"Who is advocating stoning?"

Leviticus stipulates the punishment for heretics is stoning, but we don't take the literally anymore, do we?

You really like to put words in people’s mouths don’t you? Can you show me where I said, or even implied, that anyone’s salvation was dependant on agreeing with my interpretation of scripture? If not, then I see no point to taking the bait on your question.

As for Leviticus, I certainly take that literally. I don’t think that God was telling the Israelites to throw “spiritual” stones at heretics to “spiritually” kill them. Your tone seems to imply that you think a Biblical literalist should advocate stoning for heretics TODAY because of a verse from Leviticus, which leads me to wonder: have you ever heard of the difference between the New Covenant and the Old Covenant?
