I appreciate what you are getting at, could you be more direct at what it is you are implying, and perhaps I could respond to that if you are curious.
You are referring to the post above.

Sorry, I guess I missed your point the first time around.

As I recall the story, Jesus did nothing to prevent the stoning, other than to say 'whoever has not sinned, cast the first stone'. Conviction did the rest, and the crowd of would-be-stoners slinked away.

However, there is most certainly a New Covenant - what do you think the death of Christ is all about? There is no one taking breath that deserves anything short of death according to God's justice. God does not change, but He is gracious enough to allow us to change by becoming new creatures through the atoning blood of Jesus Christ, Lord and Savior of all who will humble themselves enough to turn to Him in repentance and faith.

I have a question for you...are you still a new follower of Buddha? Judging by the harsh treatment your cyber-tongue is giving Brother Javier, I'd hazard a guess you haven't quite gotten the hang of that no-self bit you were talking about, maybe?
