He’s tickling his own fancy, too.
Unforgivable, no.
Inexcusable, yes.
We have a single country, Israel, set up as a purposed fusion of the holy and the earthly. It also called for stoning Sabbath breakers and all adulterers not just this kind of adulterer. There was a loop hole, though; no stoning took place without two witnesses. Sufficiently private sin could go on and on this way and only when it became publicly flagrant enough did it get the stoning.
Other countries are bidden to follow in the pattern of the Noahide law and are indeed bidden to forbid adultery but not by treating it like bloodshed is treated, which is with the option of bloodshed as penalty. There have been no updates to this.
People really make the bible both harder and crueler than God ever intended.
“Other countries are bidden to follow in the pattern of the Noahide law and are indeed bidden to forbid adultery but not by treating it like bloodshed is treated, which is with the option of bloodshed as penalty. There have been no updates to this.”
The law reveals the mind of God regard multiple crimes worthy of death. It is confirmed in the New Testament that such deserve the death penalty, and that governments are ordained by God and do not have the sword in vain.
The death penalty is not cruel to the victims of horrific crimes that may not necessarily rise the “Noahide” standard you claim applies to nations today.
