I'm curious though...If you doubt that God condoned stoning people in the OT, do you also doubt that God will condemn souls to Hell for eternity?

Yes. I believe Eternal Hell is a fictitious idea, brought about by ancient folklore and Religion gone mad. People on this Forum and in the Christian world can tell you Hell is real, but no one has been there to prove it is. Look into the history of past civilizations and you will find the Hell found in the New Testament long before we ever heard of it.
Hell is not found in the Old Testament, and the Jews never believed in such a place. Hell is only a recent idea, and the majority of mankind has never heard of Hell.
Eternal Damnation makes absolutely no sense, and discredits Calvary's true power to redeem lost mankind.
Here is an interesting link regarding Hell, and how Eternal Punishment is leaving current Translations.

I don't want to sidetrack this Thread, but feel free to message me regarding this subject. I have a host of other facts that show how Hell ended up in Religion.
