Lost track, but I might point out that someone brought Jesus into the discussion.

Jesus attacked adultery on several occasions but he never once mentioned homosexuality.

Let he who hasn’t committed adultery cast the first stone.

A truly misused Scripture. That passage isn't about adultery it's about hypocrites.

The law was that both the man and the woman had to be judged together. AND they had to be caught in the act. There had to be witnesses. If you accused someone and the law wasn't followed, you suffered their punishment. Stoning to death. Had ONE Pharisee cast a stone they could also be stoned to death.

The Pharisees were trying to set up Jesus but didn't follow the law. The Scripture states that the oldest dropped their stones first because THEY knew the law. And they knew the punishment.

Jesus then told the woman "Go. And sin no more." It was NEVER about adultery.
