Christians should just forsake their religion's history of stoning

I accept. I would like to clarify one thing before we begin. I am not too familiar with the teachings of Islam, and therefore do not pass any shape or form on it. Rebuttals:1) Pro states: "In fact, the Bible doesn't just call for stoning on adultery, but calls for stoning on a whole range of issues! Here are the Biblical passages on stoning:" I would like to point out that all of the Bible references Pro used were from the Old Testament. First let us define Old Old Testament:Old Testament: "The first part of the Christian Bible, comprising thirty-nine books and corresponding approximately to the Hebrew Bible." [1]The Old Testament pertains to the Jewish history of Christianity. Now let's define Christian:Christian: "A person who has received Christian baptism or is a believer in Jesus Christ and his teachings." [2]A Christian is a follower of Christ. Christians do not follow everything the Old Testament taught. Instead, they follow after Christ and the New Testament. Christ did not teach that sinners should be stoned. Pro mentions that the Bible teaches that adulterers should be stoned, so let's use that example. In St. John chapter 8, the Pharisees brought an adulterous woman before Jesus. They asked: "Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?" (John 8:5).Jesus essentially said that she should not be stoned and instead, be forgiven. If Jesus taught that sinners should not be stoned and Christians follow the teachings of Jesus, Christians do not believe that stoning sinners is right.In fact, Christians believe that they should love their neighbor as Jesus taught. Stoning people is not a loving act. Therefore, it is not a belief of a Christian.In conclusion, since all of the Bible verses you quoted are from the Old Testament, they no longer pertain to Christian beliefs.Point negated.2. Pro states: "So it makes you wonder, are these Christians hypocrites? Or are they simply ignorant?" Pro ends by saying: "So Christians just prove their double standards, they will savagely attack stoning in Islam, calling it barbaric, brutal, and backwardness. Yet they will completely ignore it when it's in their own Bible, and they will continue to praise their God for being so holy and lovely!"Pro seems to think that Christians are hypocrites. But do Christians meet the definition of hypocrites? Since Pro did not define hypocrisy, I will define it for him.Hypocrisy: "The practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense." [3]Once again, Christians follow Christ's teachings. Jesus taught to love your neighbor, and that sinners should be forgiven, not stoned (see point #1). Pro claims that Christians criticize Muslims for stoning people. I do not know if this is true or not either way. Therefore, I shall assume some Christians criticize some Muslims for still practicing stoning. I have shown that Christians have the moral standards they claim to have. Therefore, they can criticize Muslims for stoning people (if they do), as Christians don't believe stoning is morally right. Point negated.3) Pro states: "if Christians want to be consistent, then they should also condemn their Bible for having stoning laws, because I repeat, Christians have a problem with the stoning itself, their problem isn't because stoning laws was for the Jews only! If Christians are honest enough they will even admit it, that they're main problem is with the stoning itself, not that the time of stoning is no more."In ancient Israel, religion was the law. More specifically, the Law of Moses was the law. After Christ came along, and the Church of Jesus Christ was founded, the Law of Moses was no more for its members. Instead, they have the New Testament. As I have stated before, Jesus did not believe in stoning, and its members did not. I am Christian, and I do not believe in stoning, and I believe that "the time of stoning is no more." Once again, Christians live the New Testament. They no longer live the Law of Moses. Point negated.Conclusion:Pro has failed so far to prove his point that Christian logic is flawed, and that they are in fact hypocrites. Christians do not believe that stoning is right, and have never practiced stoning. Therefore, they have every right to criticize those who still practice it if they have a problem with it.Sources:[1]: http://www.google.com... [2]: http://www.google.com...
