>Remember the “woman of the city” that the Pharisees brought to Jesus for judgment? Her sin required that she be stoned, yet Christ said “He among you that has not sinned, let him cast the first stone”. He then forgave her and told her to “go and sin no more”.
He rejected the manner. He did not go out and urge the state to get rid of the laws (and punishment) prohibiting adultery.
Do you believe that it is not Christian to impose a punishment for the violation of the law?
No. I was merely speaking to your statement, giving an example proving it false.
There must always be room for mercy. I am against liberal judges who do not enforce the law, but I am equally against mandated judgments, removing the ability of a judge to grant mercy. There is a middle ground that once was the norm.
