You said that you didn't 'recall Jesus rebuking anyone for putting to death the two criminals on either side of him', in order to prove your point that God does not condemn the death penalty; I merely confirmed the fact that Jesus made no such rebuke (not that he didn't condemn the death penalty). You read my post, but you have not understood it.

Yes, they put to death an innocent man, but you have assumed that, (for argument's sake) had Jesus been a sinner, then his Father would have approved such a punishment. No, he would not. But you, and too many others like you, will not listen to Jesus in the round: in the context of the entire Gospel. Jesus' mission was one of love, mercy and forgiveness. And that love was manifested towards the adulterous woman. No matter how much you and others twist and turn to avoid this, Jesus made no reference whatever to Mosaic Law to defend that woman, but to Love, which is above and beyond encapsulation by any law.

BTW. I think for myself. Try it.
