The "put to death" according to Biblical context has little to do with actual killing and more about "spiritual death". The Old Testament also says adulterers should be put to "death". It also says "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" when in the Old Testament adulterers were supposed to be stoned, sparing the adulteress's life.
Yes, I know that The Old Testament says all of that, and a lot worse, these are just more examples of why it is a horrible book. And it was not a "spiritual death" these laws are taken quite literally in The Old Testament, and those punishments are acted out in more than one Bible story.
But the Old Testament does not say "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone", that would be found in The New Testament.
I am sorry, but no it is not. The New Testament is not an "amendment". No Christian Denomination that I am aware of considers the New Testament to be part of the Old Testament, or quotes New Testament writing as being part of The Old Testament. They are two separate Testaments about two separate periods, separated by a substantial amount of time, which together make up the Christian Bible.
Amazing how christians can reinterpret anything in the bible to suit any argument: if it means "spiritual" death why doesn't it say so? Or is your god deliberately obtuse? Which part of "put to death" is so hard to understand?
The book wasn't written by gawd; it was written by men. That should explain the whole idiocy of the book right there.
Gawd didn't write the Harry Potter series either, but plenty of idiots are taking it as truth and realty, too.
Gay people give aids so we should shun them!

The New Testament is considered an amendment to the Old Testament to Christians.

Are you serious? Do some people think Harry Potter is factual? What is the world coming to?
