Before we get all indignant, remember that the Old Testement calls for stoning as a punishment for a number of offenses.
Riiight! Great point!
So where’s the video?!
Moron.
Yes, it did. Haven’t heard of any stonings lately in the jewish community though.
And Christians will not stone. Jesus set the example.
And over time, religions will repeal many of the "old ways." Sort of like how Judaism stopped live animal sacrifices after the destruction of the Holy Temple.
The question is, will islam "mature" as have nearly every other major religion before they destroy western civilization, and plunge the world back into barbarism.
Mark
Yes,but in the NT, Jesus said,”Let he who is without sin cast the first stone”, and “Go and sin no more.”
Before you post, maybe you should push the “Think first” button. If you recall, Christ ended the practice with a somewhat famous line about “He who is without sin...”. You think that might have been his way of saying “Stop it”?
I believe that mostly stopped after a certain fellow pointed out the first stone had to be thrown by someone who was sinless. Anyone? Anyone? Buehler??
And who was under the Old Testament?
Good luck!!
I'm not sure if there are any Jews who are calling for the reinstatement of those barbaric punishments (I've seen many calling for the return of animal sacrifice in Israel, however). Credit must go where it's due, because Judaism was reformed by civilised men, two or three centuries ago.
Islam not only retains the Old Testament punishments, but also vehemently opposes reform as they believe doing so is to change (according to them) 'God's inerrant word'.
There will never be any real reform with these animals.
Wasn't that more or less repealed about 2000 years ago?
And the Bible reportedly tells us what Christ said about stoning?
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.”
IS that supposed to be Gods word?
you are correct, but the Tenach is not an “old” testimate. it is the living word.
adultry is a hedious act that breaks up families and rips apart the bond between husband, wife and Hashem. Trust is a trait that is essential when humans approach the oricales of G-d. I knew some christian would involk their lawless belief into this event and intentionaly mis communicate what the Yeshua said to the woman who was supposedly caught in adultry. It says in the epistles that they wanted to catch him in teaching against the laws of Moses(Hashem). They were intentionaly lying also, where was the man who was caught with her? those dumb asses. do you all know what day this event happened on? and what he wrote in the ground? because if you did you would know the truth and understand the importance of the Torah and the power it generates in this universe. A man will come in the near future and proclaim the Torah is invalid and that people should follow him and his christian beliefs. The religion of the false messiah is already working within christanity. If you reject the Torah, Messiah will reject you before Hashem. Thats why we don’t have a problem with divorces and the family break down here in the united states.
Which for a very primitive people was an effective means of enforcing certain laws.
What this video shows is that muslims are every bit as primitive as people from many thousands of years ago were. Backward is a word used to describe those unwilling to move forward when all others have. The ancient Jews moved forward thousands of years ago, the muslims do not.
While stoning may have been condoned as punishment in the Old Testament, remember how Jesus stopped the crowd from stoning a woman for adultery by saying that those without sin should cast the first stone. That is one of the many differences between Christianity and Islam.
I want to call you a sick bastard but there’s just enough hint of sarcasm in your post that keeps me from doing so.
I see you've won yourself the Imbicile of the Day award. Good job.
It may not seem like much, but you're now eligible for Imbicile of the Week, from which you could go right on to Imbicile of the Month etc.
Oh, you're right ! The Old Testament did call for stoning. Our bad ! Carry on then !
Extreme sarcasm in case I have to say it.
Don't get indignant over the absolutely barbaric death of a young girl because stoning is mentioned as a punishment for some offenses in the Old Testament? Is it OK to feel horror though ? Or any kind of empathy for a the suffering of a fellow human being at all ? Even if stoning is mentioned in the Old Testament ?
it’s when I make a post like this that I wish the FR system would allow me to retract an ignorant post once I woke up.
I think they dropped that a COUPLE OF THOUSAND YEARS AGO.
