\A Chinese textbook on professional ethics and law for vocational schools claims that Christ stoned the adulteress in John 8 to death because he wanted to respect the law, reports UcaNews.com (September 22).
However, in the original John 8, Christ says, “Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone” adding "go and sin no more."
According to the Chinese Communist Gospel Jesus says, “I too am a sinner but if the law could only be executed by men without blemish, the law would be dead.”
Legalism, fanaticism, and cruelty are indeed the trade marks of Communism.
All that is better recognized as blasphemy. I have my faults, but I do my best to avoid THAT kind of mistake. I will have to answer for some things, but I don’t think blasphemy will be one of them. That sort of thing, misrepresenting who God really is, makes me shudder.
The person who is required to throw the first stone according to the law was the witnesses:
Deuteronomy 17:6But never put a person to death on the testimony of only one witness. There must always be two or three witnesses. 7The witnesses must throw the first stones, and then all the people may join in. In this way, you will purge the evil from among you.

Now stop and think this through. If the men in the group witnessed her adultery was it because they had first hand knowledge and were also guilty of the same sin?
Also, if the people in the crowd were not witnesses who then could throw the first stone if only a witness could ?
This story raised some legal questions as well as moral ones.
Jesus approached the crowd that was about to stone the adulteress when he said; “Wait. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone!”
A little old lady moves to the front, chunks a stone at the woman and kills her.
Jesus said; “You know Mom, sometimes you really piss me off!”
Well, there appears also to have been the issue of selective application of punishment, as the act takes two and the man does not appear to have been brought for punishment.
The Cardinals: “Let’s elect Lucifer. What could go wrong?”
Bingo. The very law said both deserved it.

"The crowd wanted to stone the woman to death as per their law. But Jesus said, 'Let the one who has never sinned throw the first stone.' Hearing this, they slipped away one by one.
When the crowd disappeared, Jesus stoned the sinner to death saying, "I too am a sinner. But if the law could only be executed by men without blemish, the law would be dead," the textbook said.
What about the saying “Everybody must get stoned.” Is that from Deuteronomy or from Proverbs?
I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them was the man who committed the act with her.
Bingo. My dad told me he always speculated that Jesus showed their hypocrisy by writing “Where is the man?”
The ChiComs are full of shtt.
“Well, they’ll stone ya when you’re trying to be so good
They’ll stone ya just a-like they said they would
They’ll stone ya when you’re tryin’ to go home
Then they’ll stone ya when you’re there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned”
