In other words, would you support the execution of adulterers? (Lev. 20:10)

Or, how about the death penalty for murder (Exodus 20:13)?

The fact is, no one was ever executed for adultery. What few folks bother to do is to study the words of the Almighty. Two or three EYE witnesses are necessary for capital offenses. And the reason it says "three" is to confirm that the witnesses cannot be independent - they have to have seen each other as well. John 8 confirms this as well. Normally, the only "witness" to adultery are the participants.

Maybe instead of assuming that everything to the LEFT of Matthew 1:1 is INVALID, you should consider the weight of ANYTHING that comes from the mouth of the Almighty.

Maybe instead of assuming that I believe everything to the LEFT of Matthew 1:1 is INVALID, you should consider that you have no idea what I believe and that you just made a fool out of yourself.

At best you’re speculating, and it’s the worst kind of speculation. The woman caught in adultery in John 8 would have been executed if not for Jesus. Do you honestly think that was the only time a person risked execution in centuries and centuries after the law was received? You would have to be very naive to believe that.
