The Bible firmly condemns and rebukes adulterers and all other non-repentant sinners dozens of times and commands believers to rebuke those involved in that type of behavior. The Bible also calls for the death penalty for adultery.

Yes, it does. But the Bible is addressed to believers. You are well within your rights to preach hell fire and damnation to the unbelievers if you think that's the best way to go about it. But you have no authority or right to impose hell fire and damnation on the unbeliever in the here and now.

The Bible also calls for the death penalty for adultery.

And when Jesus comes to establish his theocracy, then I'm sure you'll be more that willing and ready to live that standard. The non-believers are under no such law and no such covenant. Common sense would tell them that such behavior is not to their benefit, but they're under no covenant to behave that way.
