By the way i am an adult now, but i was just asking what the adult "child " could do with a rebellious family member. I understand the verse here talks about if the man commits adultery, but in my own life, it was quite different.

According to the law Adultery was punishable by death .

So was murder of another .

One reason as well the adulterous person was put to death it freed the innocent person to marry another qualified to marry .

But in today's world they would call it murder . So the innocent person must remain single because of an unjust world , we can see as things are falling away the criminals seem to be getting more and more rights .

Here is a question for you that think because we are under grace the laws do not apply ; so being under grace if you kill someone that's fine you are not under the law right ?

Adultery and murder are quite close in degrees of sin , both punishable by death , according to Gods laws .
