Bible Challenge - "CRIME and PUNISHMENT" Part 2

Good Evening to All!

I'm hoping you all had a wonderfully Blessed Sunday.
Here's a little "food for thought" for those of us who start complaining about our country's justice system, before the Challenge. Would you believe that they still use "stoning" as a type of punishment in Iran. This picture below is of a stoning of a lady who was falsely accused of adultery, in 1986. (To me that is modern day). It sickens me to think in this day and age that a country could be as cruel as that . Believe it or not, I even saw some pictures of a stoning in Somalia where they bury villagers up to their wastes and force them to watch as they carry out the stoning. With my 2 cents spent, on with the Challenge.

Have Fun and . . .
