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.
"Stoning is barbaric, and far more evil then the sin it is intended to punish. "
Amen! I would hang the ones throwing the stones!!
Muslims and Jews aren't Christians.
That said, the portion of John you use does not appear in the earliest dated versions of Scripture.
If you know the punishment prior to committing the crime, then there is no excuse for having a problem with the result.
I'm a Christian, so I am not for this, but I'm also against marrying someone divorced as that is adultery, too.
But many Christians don't follow the very Bible they use to condemn others.
Thank you for restating the instructive Bible passage where Jesus faces the accusers of the woman taken in adultery.
