It is best if God does the teaching. And you are right, we can see Jesus' teaching in the New Testament.

The law shows a man that he cannot keep the law perfectly in intention, thought, word and deed. It matters not how hard the man works his conscience will always accuse him.
So you want me to stone the molester?
I should sentence molesters to death?
You guys are strange.
sheesh.
Knowing one, knowing that I am wrong (a sinner), is wrong (knowing one is wrong), doesn't make up for that wrong. So we need some kind of salvation.
The greatest need of man is salvation. No man can find salvation. If man is not found, then the man is lost.
What do you believe about faith and decisions or decision-making?
All men are born with a steering defect. The man is always pulling to the left, to sin. Until the steering defect is corrected the man will always steer towards sin. Salvation corrects the defect and sanctification makes all the necessary adjustments throughout the life of a regenerate man.
That seems to make sense.
If a woman can be the judge of a man, would you or can you judge? What about making a judgment when one isn't waiting from you? Because you can state your opinion and be right in it if it is what the Law says.
God's Law says Thou Shalt Not Murder
God's Law says Thou Shalt Not Lie
God's Law says Thou Shalt Not Steal
you seem comfortable "pushing" these laws to the world, along with laws about child molestation and rape

Often promiscuity is thought to be a female sin, a sin that only those who are female can commit. I guess it is difficult to say a promiscuous man.

Is US law secular law or does secular law only reside in some other countries?
God's Law says Thou Shalt Not Murder.
That's all I need to judge the actions of the murderer as wrong.
How about you meshak?
Can you judge the actions of the murderer as wrong?
And it's a wonderful and completely unexpected experience.
I won't play "what if" games.
Not unless a person’s standards are selective ...
Gender does not distinguish promiscuity ...
that would be any man who has sex outside of marriage
Currently, our laws are secular.
I am not asking you to. If you know you can make a judgment or withhold a judgment, you can. It may be your opinion. It may be better to not say anything. But saying what the law is, without being willing to follow through, might simply mean that you do not believe the law to have any place in the life of those who have faith any more.
