Dear Editor,

Everybody must get stoned - Bob Dylan Speaking of stoning.

Stone all Christians? Where would we get all those stones from?

Seriously though, brothers and sisters, what does our Messiah say about stoning?

Yohanan/John 8:3-11: “And the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And having set her in the midst, they said to Him, teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery (where‘s the man?). And in the Torah Mosheh commanded us that such should be stoned. What then do You say?

“And this they said, trying Him, so that they might accuse Him… Yahushua bent down and wrote on the ground as though He didn’t hear them. As they kept questioning Him He straightened up and said, he who is without sin among you, let him be the first to throw a stone at her. He bent down and wrote on the ground again. They left one by one, being reproved by their conscience, Yahushua was left alone with the woman (it takes two to commit adultery, where’s the man?). Yahushua straightened up again and seeing just the woman, said to her, woman, where are those accusers of yours? Did no one condemn you? And she said, no one, Master. And Yahushua said to her, neither do I condemn you. GO AND SIN NO MORE.”

Read/study the rest of the this chapter.

Verses 58-59: “Yahushua said to them, truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham came to be, I AM. Therefore they picked up stones to throw at Him, but Yahushua was hidden and went out of the Set-apart place…”

Do not condemn or judge, but teach, reprove, set straight, for instruction in righteousness.

Selah.
