Bible Question:
My sister saw a show the other day about two people who had an affair. They got caught at a pool in the desert. They were hung up on a tree or something and stoned. The man pleaded for them to let her go but they didn't. I am not familiar with this story. Help? thanx |
Bible Answer: Dear Jssgirl, There is no such biblical story recorded in the bible. However you may read how people committed adultery are punished according to Moses' law in Deut chapter 22 and Leviticus chapter 20. For your information, in ancient time, capital punishment on people who committed adultery was not limited to Israelites, Chinese also had capital punishment for adulterers, one of the means was to drown them. So, we may see that adultery has been viewed as a very serious crime. Unlike nowadays people's viewing it lightly. Shalom Azure |
