"Rediculous"? they can't bring themselves to call stoning for adultery vile. That's ridiculous all right.
Wibbs wrote: » Eh, I don't know what you were reading that claimed that, but it is an obvious nonsense. Every Christian was baptised usually as soon as possible after they were born(infant mortality being a serious risk) to bring them into the Church. No crusading knight would have been unbaptised. It was a fundamental entry requirement.
WrenBoy wrote: » The point is that the main figure in Christianity does not advocate the stoning of women for adultery. If stoning women for adultery is as accepted in Christianity as Islam then we would expect Jesus to affirm that the punishment is stoning and say it is right to do so, but he doesn't. None are without sin is the message , it highlights the move in christianity that the punishment for sins is for God alone. As for your second point, Ive never heard of that so no offence I wont take that as a point but I'd be happy to look at some link to the info if you have one.

RobbieTheRobber wrote: » And you will now of course provide a source from the Quran where Allah orders stoning for adultery right?
Fandymo wrote: » Yes. It is vile and backwards to stone anyone to death. See how easy it is to answer a simple question Robbie??
RobbieTheRobber wrote: » What is my agenda. Am I a secret gay killing, child marrying, woman abuser? You should also note that I have never directly condemned the use of nuclear weapons in this thread. What utter nonsense your posting. Secret agenda indeed. Write up your list of crimes you wish me to condem and condem them all to secular hell I will just for you pal. Xoxo

Hadith, Arabic Ḥadīth (“News” or “Story”), also spelled Hadīt, record of the traditions or sayings of the Prophet Muhammad, revered and received as a major source of religious law and moral guidance, second only to the authority of the Qurʾān, the holy book of Islam. 'Ubada b. as-Samit reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Receive (teaching) from me, receive (teaching) from me. Allah has ordained a way for those (women). When an unmarried male commits adultery with an unmarried female (they should receive) one hundred lashes and banishment for one year. And in case of married male committing adultery with a married female, they shall receive one hundred lashes and be stoned to death.

Wibbs wrote: » Oh for god's sake(no pun). Wikipedia? Your understanding of history and religion is more than a bit lacking. We're talking about pre Reformation here. Outside of the Eastern Church(where they also baptised infants as a given) there was only the Church back then, the same church crusading knights belonged to. The same church that also baptised Christian born infants as a given.

WrenBoy wrote: » Well I wasn't going to initially to be honest. Punishment for adultery in Quran: Quran 24.2 The [unmarried] woman or [unmarried] man found guilty of sexual intercourse1 - lash each one of them with a hundred lashes,2 and do not be taken by pity for them in the religion [i.e., law] of Allah,3 if you should believe in Allah and the Last Day. And let a group of the believers witness their punishment.
