Deuteronomy 13

(Oct 5 06, 10:06)ascescnce, I don't have a Bible in front of me (I'm not in the habit of carrying it in to work), but if it is clearly sanctioned by God in this passage, then it is an example of Old-Testament death penalty by jury. The new covenant in the New Testament, sealed by Jesus' death & resurrection, is based on grace instead of law. That's why the NT isn't nearly as violent.
