John 8:7
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.

OH pleeeeease,,,,,That only applied to that one instance where a mob was about to stone a woman who they accused of adultery. This incident was a setup by the Pharisees designed to trap Jesus and He, being God, saw right through it.

The most you can get out of this is Jesus says not to execute people on account of adultery. I agree!!

To apply a test of sinlessness as to the worthiness of executioners to carry out their jobs is pontificating nonsense.

Furthermore,,He never said a thing about the sinful natures of the executioners who crucified Him and the 2 other men on that Friday afternoon. He never said that the 2 others were being wrongfully punished. Jesus never overturned any aspect of Mosaic law...He instead adhered to it as a devout Jew.
