[John Filson]

I don't see Christ teaching stoning for adultery in John 8:7. Christ did suggest that the disciples sell a garment and buy a sword just before his death in Luke 22:36. In other words, he argued that deadly force was acceptable in defense of worthy causes. I believe that protecting the community against violent predators is a worthy cause. It's time to admit that life imprisonment is cost-ineffective and far too risky once we've convicted people of heinous crimes.
