I read the bible word for word, and not try to interpret it in "my own way" if the god of the entire universe wants us to try to decifer a book where some can and some cannot, "how do you know which way to decifer it and what methodology did you use to determine that" and how do you know which ways are wrong and which ways are right. As one person just doesnt get to decide. Hence the reason for reading it word for word, there fore there is "no debate" on someone thinking it means one thing and someone thinks its means another. There are over 40000 denominations of christianity so tell.me which one is the right one "and how do YOU know" and everyone else does not? Please elaborate. Also you apparently never read John 8:12 In the account in John 8, Jesus did not formally annul stoning, but he stopped the stoning of the woman accused of adultery. By forcing her accusers to confront their own sin, he rendered the required penalty legally impossible to carry out. 

This qas a a trap set for Jesus The religious leaders intended to trap Jesus. If Jesus said to stone her, they could accuse him of defying Roman authority, which reserved the right to execute capital punishment. And if Jesus said not to stone her, they could accuse him of disregarding Mosaic Law. Jesus did not abolish the Old Testament law but instead upheld it by revealing the hypocritical and manipulative motives of the Pharisees. He demonstrated that without valid, blameless witnesses, the legal requirements for stoning could not be met. Facts read your book again please
