Those on this Forum who defend stoning, I doubt any would do it. We "Out of Sight, Out of Mind" much of the Bible. In others words, we defend a certain ideal until it is ultimately in our lap. If stoning was inhumane yesterday, it’s inhumane today.
Watch the film. It will bring you about as close to a real stoning as you and I will ever see. Then come back on here and give us your honest opinion. Your “Shots from the hip” are missing the target.
When the father of the daughter to be stoned is handed the first stone, little did others know that he had molested her as a young girl.
Not to mention, the physical and mental abuse by a domineering husband who considered her inferior and weak. The entire village was under the spell of this twisted form of masculine power and control, and any form of intelligible research will prove this was the forte’ of these past cultures.

I am not defending stoning. I have no idea why God would tell them to do that...and I'm ok with that. God chooses to do/not do things all the time that do not make sense to me...I am called to walk...and that takes all my energy. I do not know what God is up to...and frankly don't want to know.
Why would I believe that God is subject to the same rules/morals/ideals that I am? I am not God...He is not me.
