How much time did jesus spend throwing rocks?
John 8:7
Here's an interesting though. By this statement, knowing that he came to correct what the Hebrew leaders had done to the laws, is this telling us that all of the laws involving punishment had to be carried out by innocents? That would mean all of those places where it says to stone someone to death could only have been done by jesus; maybe an angel, or god. That would mean, there's no point in worrying about how cruel those laws seem to be because we were missing that part all along.

Jesus spent no time stoning anyone. Interesting indeed, Anton. Makes sense, too. As others put well here. You made me see yet another aspect of how God is love. Jesus healed,..yes rebuked where it was wrong, rescued miraculously, even frightened those
using His Father's house for mammon, for hurting the poor.
I think of...remove the board in your own eye first.

Jesus is the Rock.
1 Corinthians 10:4
And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.
Deuteronomy 32
4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
18 Of the Rock that begat thee thou art unmindful, and hast forgotten God that formed thee.
Psalm 94:22
But the Lord is my defence; and my God is the rock of my refuge.
Psalm 18:2
The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower

Jesus too was busy doing important things to spend time throwing rocks. You know, like walking on water, killing pigs and fig trees, changing water into wine, etc.
This story never happened. It was "certainly not part of the original text of St John's Gospel."

Jesus, the wise Rabbi he was, told those men who wanted to stone a woman for adultery, that " he who is without sin cast the first stone". They all walked away knowing their guilt and Jesus told the woman, " Your sins are forgiven, go and sin no more".
Jesus was not a proponent of stoning people to death or even throwing stones.

What attracted me to your question was not the question so much as wanting to see what sort of answers were solicited from such a question.

I'm sorry, but did you read the verse. He stopped those that were about to throw rocks. Next. :)

He was said to have practiced at least three hours every day, more when there was an upcoming tournament.
