That requirement of the law is fulfilled by Christ for the believer. For unbelievers, only a spiritual moron would demand that someone else die for their sin while they ignore their own. Mercy triumphs over judgement.
Stoning or killing by any means if deliberate is murder.

You even say mercy triumphs over Judgement. SO SHOW MERCY.

Why are you a spokesperson for some of the most horrible laws in the whole world.

If we love God and love our neighbour we fulfill the law. Tear the rest up and throw the cinders in the bin.
.
No, loving your neighbor as yourself UPHOLDS the rest of the laws. You can't love your neighbor as yourself without also not showing favoritism, not committing adultery, not lying, not stealing, not hating, not holding grudges, and so on. 'Love your neighbor as yourself' in no way whatsoever replaces the rest of the laws in the law of Moses. It upholds them. It is the summation of the rest of the laws.....

9The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery,” “You shall not murder,” “You shall not steal,” “You shall not covet,” a and whatever other command there may be, are summed up in this one command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Romans 13:9

Some of these laws that you call horrible are actually the wisdom of the Lord in that the provide a deterrent against committing crimes.

So you kill your neighbour out of love. I have never read such nonsense.

Rom 13:8, Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law.
Rom 13:9, For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Rom 13:10, Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.

If someone is a murderer, you give them the death penalty so that they will not kill innocent people.

You kill them out of love for the innocent people who will not end up being victims because you gave that person the death penalty.

So follow Romans 13 and tear the rest up. No wonder there is so much wickedness in the world. You preach love and practice the opposite.

Actually, Jesus is the God who created those laws in the first place.
Jesus did not write the Mitzvot Laws it was the Levite Priests. Moses was a Levite, and so they became known as the Mosaic laws.

Jesus taught the opposite, that is why they conspired to have him crucified.

Lovely kind people they were. You should know by now who their god is. Read John 8:44 and make sure you do not promote their lifestyle, which is what you do when you push their law.

You won't find that in the law. So do what it says.

Romans 13:8-10 teaches us that the ten commandments along with any other commandment are fulfilled in the commandment to "love thy neighbor as thyself."

In other words, the commandments of God are the specifics of God's love.

I think you may have the Rabbinical add-on oral law (I forget what it's called, lol) confused with the Mitzvot, the law of Moses. I'm open for correction on that.

I'm not, personally. But given the militant homosexual agenda in the United States today I understand why God commanded that homosexuals be put to death. But I would NEVER put them to death myself. Only a spiritual moron would even think about doing that. I have committed my own sins that I deserve to die for. Thankfully, we can defer that requirement of holy law to God in this New Covenant.

The mitzvot laws were codified by Mohamidis (spelling) and the books of Moses were written by four people from across the nation and codified by a fifth person long after Moses died.

I feel sorry for homosexuals and feel it is similar to the colour of our eyes, it is how we are born, and there is nothing can be done about it. As the law says, we need to show love not hatred. Practise what you preach and do what Jesus would have done.

“Jesus Christ is the END OF THE LAW for all that Believe”—— have fun with your completely irrelevant arguments....The Law did its job in my life- - it showed me I was a hopeless , helpless Sinner that HAD to have a Savior or I was doomed. I now have something so much better than an External Law to guide me.....I now have an Internal Guide, the Holy Spirit Of God....
I am done with the Law of Moses.....let somebody else have it.....somebody that needs it.....I am a Christian now....I am “ dead to the Law”.......thank God.....

If I did that then I would not be loving God or my neighbor. Don't you understand you love God by keeping his commands?

21Whoever has my commands and keeps them is the one who loves me.
23 “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. ...
24Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching.
John 14:21-24
