Frankly, this is proscribed by God for Israel to perform in the same situation.

Adultery is a crime against God and one's spouse.

I believe Jesus settled that particular question.

"And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto Him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto Him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the Law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest Thou?"

"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. 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. And again He stooped down, and wrote on the ground."

"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."

"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?"

"She said, No man, Lord."

"And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." (John 8:2-11 KJV)


Stoning is barbaric, and far more evil then the sin it is intended to punish.

Not since Christ came on the scene and advised, "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone."

Surely you*re not suggesting that it*s understandable that Iran continues this barbaric practice? You*re joking, right? Or you*re a plant on this board to make conservative Christians look bad?
