Drich is right you are using hearsay, you have nothing supporting your accusations.
You asked for an example here's one for the above.
Read John 8:1-11
John 8:7 And as they continued to ask Him, he stood up and and said to them, "Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her."
Seems Christ is putting an end to stoning, for no one is without sin.
Giving an example you wanted hope you see the truth in it. This is the last I'll reply on this but, like I said you are wrong in your OP.

You obviously don't realize that John 7:53 - 8:11 is the most doubtful passage in the whole New Testament. The long ending of Mark (16:9-20) is a close second.

About the passage from John Peake's Commentary says:
Quote:It is certain that this narrative is not an original part of the gospel. It is omitted by most of the earliest and best Greek MSS, by the oldest versions (Syriac, Coptic and some of the Old Latin) and by the earliest Fathers. The MSS which do contain the paragraph do not all place it at this point; some even place it after Luke 21:38.
Even the fundy-friendly NIV translation inserts a cautionary note: "The most reliable early manuscripts omit John 7:53 - 8:11."

I guess some people feel that if the King James version was good enough for Jesus, it should be good enough for us. Tongue
