Actually, did not my questions come first?

But, to answer, biblically, adultery is always wrong. And, it is deserving of death. It is not ok now, if that is what you think changed. What God chooses to do about may have - and there are still consequences to adultery, even if no one else knows but the two involved.

Your turn.

I want to know whether the original penalty was right or not. So in your god's eyes it is always moral to stone adulterers?

So, you are asking about the penalty, not whether the right or wrong of adultery has changed.

The penalty was just. Actually, if you and I were to get what we deserve, according to the Bible, it would be alot worse.

But, there is mercy and grace in Jesus.

Allegedly that same "god", who passed the Ten Commandments; who told the Israelites..."Thou Shalt Not Kill.".......commanded them to commit genocide on a massive scale (according to their unverified history).

But, showing mercy has its place. Even Joseph, thinking Mary had committed adultery, did not seek to have her stoned. But, God is making it clear, it is a sin worthy of death. He lists others also. In the laws given to Moses, we see how holy God is. Now, when the women caught in adultery came before Jesus, it is interesting that He did not say that it was wrong to stone her. But, he saw motive also. He recognized that they did not care that she was caught in adultery (notice that the man she was with was not brought before him). They knew the law, but not the heart of God.

But, clear or not - are you saying that one cannot absolutely say anything is wrong?

The peoples that God ordered Israel to destroy, were nations that had been granted much opportunity to do what was right, namely believe in the ONE God rather than the many gods. By destroying them, they were stopped from having any more kids that they would teach their shameful ways, who would go to hell just like their parents were going to. So, there was great justification in what God ordered Israel to do.
