I want to state right off the bat that this is not an "attack." it is simply a question to help my understanding of your reasoning behind some of your political beliefs. I am not some crazy liberal attacking you. in fact, while i do lean toward the left, i also have some right wing beliefs myself. I have studied the bible and went to a christian school. so here is my question. Why do many christians support the death penalty when john 8:1-11 clearly states against this. It is the passage with the adulterer who is going to be stoned and jesus states :"Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” Since none of us are without sin, then how can anyone betray this. to me this passage is clearly stating that we are all sinners and therefore cannot pass a death sentence on another sinner. this is Gods job. Maybe our interpertations of this passage are different.i would like to hear your take on this.It's not fair for me to make a stance without hearing your side
