Obviously, stoning does seem far-fetched especially in regards to this conversation but unfortunately it states in Leviticus 20:10-12,
“10 If a man commits adultery with the wife of his neighbor, both the adulterer and the adulteress shall surely
be put to death. 11 If a man lies with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness; both of them shall surely be
put to death; their blood is upon them. 12 If a man lies with his daughter-in-law,
both of them shall surely be put to death; they have committed perversion; their blood is upon them.”
While none of us would approve of any of the actions in Levitcus and I have enough confidence in the Christians in the US to reject this kind of literal extremism but it is of concern to me to hear it and we know that the majority of Muslims don’t agree with the extremism in their faith and yet it only takes a small minority to promote extremism. At this point with Cahn suggesting that God caused the deaths in 9/11, the deaths in the Vietnam War, the economic downturn etc I am very troubled with this man especially since I am a Veteran of the Vietnam War and I don’t see the correlation whether or not I agreed with the war. How does he account for 6 million Jews who were killed in Nazi Germany or 20 million Russians in WWII? Are all these a result of God's wrath? What an angry God!
