both asker and the answer chosen as best assume that doing so is morally and religiously acceptable. is that what god wants?

Update:

it's interesting that most answerers respond as if this talks about a christian country and a christian situation, forgetting that there are countries where such laws are still enacted.

    I guess it is because

    .

    Everybody want to have everybody else living the way they do

    .

    And some people don't like people who are unfaithful

    .

    While others don't give a crap what someone else does that is wrong

    .

    Why because worrying about what you do is enough for them to have to worry about

    .

    If they screw up they have to answer for it not someone that is walking by

    They are both wrong, but you more than either. What about the Woman caught in Adultery (Protestants took this out of the Bible in many cases).

    Jesus by word and deed says to the Adulteress, you will not be stoned, go in peace...

    I am ont being contentious, but you are fundamentalist. Nothing wrong per se. It isn't an insult but it is true. If you were a Catholic you'd have your answer before you asked it.

    Joh: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.

    In response to that other question that was correct in the Old Testament times. But not after Jesus paid the price for us on the cross, in the New Testament times.

    Ro:3:19: Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God.

    Ro:3:20: Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

    Ro:3:21: But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;

    Ro:3:22: Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

    Ro:3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

    Ro:3:24: Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

    Ro:3:25: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

    Ro:3:26: To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

    Ro:3:27: Where is boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay: but by the law of faith.

    Ro:3:28: Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.

    Ro:3:29: Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also:

    Ro:3:30: Seeing it is one God, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith.

    Ro:3:31: Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.

    However that is not a ticket to go live in sin, it just covers the ones we commit unknowingly.

    Ro:8:37: Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.

    Take care and may God bless you spiritually.

    According to the Old Testament BOTH people caught in adultery were to be stoned to death.

    That question and answer you refer to are both pretty messed up. Or somebody was just having a bit of a laugh..getting people to respond.

    I don't think it is acceptable in any Christian culture to stone anybody to death but, hey, it IS in the Bible and they say the Bible is good and right......

    It is also in the Bible that if a man rapes a virgin he has to marry her.

    He doesn't get stoned to death and she has to spend the rest of her life with a man who raped her. Gotta love Old Testament Law!
