To be fair, we also have the "he who is without sin" comment. Troubling in and of itself. How would we go about screening for a "sinless" law enforcement officer to apprehend those suspected of crimes, a "sinless" judge to conduct trials, a "sinless" prison guard, or a "sinless" executioner? Maybe we should just differ to the laws as set by god? Apparently not, since god can't make up his mind on something as simple as stoning people to death. This is bullshit, especially with regards to law, where you simply cannot have two contradictory statutes. So perhaps the NT overrides the OT? Apparently not, since you seem insistent upon retaining those bits of it which you feel aren't morally abhorrent, and your demi god did just say he wasn't there to destroy the law. If we let that slide and consider it philosophy (which it is not) then Big J was 50/50 for stoning (maybe he just liked adulterous women and was otherwise 100% for stoning, GG Captain Save-A-Ho)?. Perhaps we should stone half of these folks and let the others free? Just to be safe.
