In comparison to the bible, does stoning still take place in the world?

Question

thanks for the sources PIn, thats sad

Answer 1

Yes it does.

Answer 2

In the Middle East under the rule of the Koran

Answer 3

Yes, watch- stoning goes back to the caveman days no doubt and some peoples haven't advanced much beyond those days. In fairness to the Muslims though they learned it from the Old Testament. Islam derives from Judaism and Christianity.

Answer 4

Yes, in places like Saudi Arabia.

Answer 5

Unfortunately, yes stoning is still a sentance imposed in some Islamic nations.

Answer 6

According to the Bible, the Torah and the Quran it should be happening but it seems that people like to take some rules that are fun and leave the others. They think that they are more wise and advanced then God I suppose.

Answer 7

For me stoning still takes place in this world but not "literal stoning". Stoning was done because some people felt they were better and placed judgment on their own hands.

In reality, some people still tend to be judgmental and prejudice about people of not their own "kind". They still tend to criticize, mock and put down other people. Not realizing that their mockery have grave impact on the people they condemn.

For me, it is very sad that it still exists in a different way.

Answer 8
