"I've heard similar things but I don't think I've ever heard/read a
good explanation of exactly was the scope and intent of "Let he who is
without sin cast the first stone"."
Dear Gilberto,
Well one thing we do know is that it was a woman brought before Jesus (and
not the man she presumably committed adultery with.) And that it was men who
were about to do the stoning. But whatever Jesus' intention, no Christian
has ever enforced the Old Testament law on this matter, whereas they have
enforced such Old Testament edicts such as "you shall not suffer a witch to
live."
warmest, Susan
