Man who wants to stone women uses religion based on guy who allegedly claimed no one was righteous enough to be the one to stone a woman for adultery to justify the stoning of women for adultery.
And yet somehow I get the feeling that this individual would take offense at it being pointed out that he is technically advocating for (ancient) Jewish law trumping Christian principles.
In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?” They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.” Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground. At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
