i generally don't answer anonymous questions. please provide at least a pseudonym.

the laws of evidence required for execution by a proper Jewish court are such that they hardly ever executed anyone. as the Talmud states, a bet din (Jewish court) which executed one person in 70 years was called a "murderer bet din".

at some point close to the destruction of the second Temple, Romans removed this aspect of Jewish sovereignty and took away the ability to impose capital punishments. this was even looked upon by some Tannaim (Jewish authorities) at the time as a good thing, such that they were thankful for this, not deeming themselves skilled enough to judge in such matters. since then, we have lost the ordination which was in a human chain goes back to Moshe, such that we cannot establish a Sanhedrin.

why? do you think this would be a good thing? i also think that this is a hidden blessing, and can elaborate on this if you are interested.

all the best,
josh

hi, it was me the first anonymous,
i have always loved read the bible, much more the israelite bible than the christian gospel, and the israelite culture and traditions, and i know religious jews dont stone nor want to do it these days, but never knew the teological explanation, the evolution in which some passages of the deuteronomy and leviticus are avoided, why some of them like the capital punishments has been abandoned and some other like kosher rules are kept.
i have read that the prophets book renewed the tora and made judaism a personal religion, that rabinic jews think the tanak is imperfect and they need the oral law as well...
your explanation about the destruction of the temple place the answer is out of the tanak, so i think the solution is in the oral law, although karaite jews dont stone anybody either and they refuse the oral law
samaritans only believe in the tora refusing the prophets and ketuvim and they dont either

well, too much questions i think.

thank you very much for your attention and your nice and fast answer
