    If they think “stoned” means killed, then that directly conflicts with the commandment “thou shouldn’t kill people”.

    Since the Bible can’t possibly contradict itself, it must mean to get high.

      after getting the stone tablet with Thou Shalt Not Kill on it, Moses takes his entourage and immediately genocides an entire kingdom. It’s right there in the Bible, I don’t think they are that concerned about consistency

        You don‘t get it. Moses just beat the enemies with the stone tables to really hammer in the rules. It‘s not his fault the people are dying of the injuries.
