Ok... but are we still supposed to stone to death unchaste women?


The whole point of the law was that it was impossible for anyone to follow and thus we needed a savior. The Jews have never followed the law in its entirety, and when Jesus was crucified it made the law void as he established the new covenant.


2 Corinthians 3:7-8

But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

Jesus himself completely done away with the harsh penalties set by the law, and made some of the laws void. The law is only used as reference now, not for standards of punishment.


Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. Matthew 5:17

And once he fulfilled it then it became void.
