Let's get back to this - I am intrigued.


Also, I want to hear why God did not kill people the most "humane" way in the OT. Stoning seems brutal in comparison to hanging. I guess God is not obligated to be the most humane. But today in our society, hanging seems a better choice for the death penalty than bludgeoning someone to death with dull objects. Why?
