The moment christians follow Jesus they ceases to be christians. Christians worship Jesus and follow paul.

Wait, you can't mix stories like that. That's just wrong.
There are laws to punish those who have been found guilty of a crime. Voting in favor or not in favor has nothing to do with the "he who is without sin..." verse.
In that story, Jesus came across a crowd of people who had found the woman in bed with another man, dragged her out and was going to stone her, without the benefit of law. According to their own law, she was entitled to appear before a judge. This group was a vigilante group, not the law!
When Jesus said "let he who is without sin..." He was not saying that all of them had slept with her too, He was saying they had all just sinned by wanting to stone her without benefit of the law process.

I think we can try our hardest to follow Jesus and be like Jesus but seeing that we are human we will never be without sin

Try reading the New Testament and seeing what Jesus says about the laws of the land. You will find your answer.

ideally we all should get along and live in harmony and peace, but that's not the case by our sinful nature, To me God is giving us the free will to handle justice situations, to ceasar whats from Ceasar (a Cesar lo que es del Cesar)

Not one person is without sin but, without government and laws people would go mad.

never! if they followed it , truthfully.....it wouldn't even have spread beyond middle-east lol
wars/politics/forced conversions spread it like wild fire in Europe
it was offered as political solution to kings (from constantine..to everyone), who grabbed this opportunity & forcibly converted whole kingdom ..from then on passed it from gen to gen through brainwashing...
whole this is a big scam..just like spread of nazi party

Yes....
I am a Christian and I am all for the death penalty.
It doesn't make me any less saved.
There are certain crimes that should warrant death for the guilty party

Anytime, I'll vote for any laws that rehabilitate rather than kill more people.
