If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city.

Deuteronomy 22:23-24

John 8
1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” 8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”

11 “No one, sir,” she said.

“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

Stoning ended with Jesus for christians, it hasn’t ended for Muslims because it was what their false prophet commanded..Muslims in most of the middle east still live in the stone age

Tu Quoque is used by Muslims or the dim witted. Which are you?

The short answer is that the last famous ‘stoning’ by Christians probably occurred in 1692 in Massachusetts with Giles Corey.

He wasn’t stoned to death.

In other words, it has never happened in the United States despite your fevered liberal imagination.

It’s in your Bible. And I certainly know I’m not the one who wrote it. ;D

Like I said. It appears you didn’t understand Christianity – or even Judaism for that matter. Or maybe your anger is clouding your judgement.

I know you’re a fairly recent convert to Atheism and are now in the Rage Against The Christian phase but it appears you poorly understood the religion you walked away from.

When was the last Christian or Jewish stoning of a woman? Shove your liberal BS back where it belongs.

The funny thing is that I have never voted for a Democrat in my life. Once.

The short answer is that the last famous ‘stoning’ by Christians probably occurred in 1692 in Massachusetts with Giles Corey.

But who really knows? If we were to accept that morality is only derived from God, as most Christians choose to believe, He could very easily change his mind on the morality of stoning.

No, I completely agree. Islam is an absolute scourge on this Earth, whereas the majority of Christians and Jews are at the very least questioning their foundational beliefs.

As always you are a deceitful political hack. sharrukin on February 21, 2013 at 4:20 PM

I couldn’t lie – I get a kick out quoting the Bible. Especially when you get to like the 23,000 person genocide in the New Testament, or the Fig Tree story in the Gospels or Paul’s rants against women.

ZachV on February 21, 2013 at 4:35 PM

Oh, our resident theologian, ancient Hewbrew and scripture scholar is going to teach us something important about the Old Testament.

Stoning adulterers is a foundational belief of Jews and Christians?
