Leviticus 24:16
anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. The entire assembly must stone him.
Whether an alien or native-born, when he blasphemes the Name, he must be put to death.
Deuteronomy 17:2-7
2 If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the LORD gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God in violation of his covenant, 3 and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars of the sky, 4 and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, 5 take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death. 6 On the testimony of two or three witnesses a man shall be put to death, but no one shall be put to death on the testimony of only one witness. 7 The hands of the witnesses must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people. You must purge the evil from among you.
Ezekiel 23:46-48
46 "This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Bring a mob against them and give them over to terror and plunder. 47 The mob will stone them and cut them down with their swords; they will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses.
48 "So I will put an end to lewdness in the land, that all women may take warning and not imitate you. 49 You will suffer the penalty for your lewdness and bear the consequences of your sins of idolatry. Then you will know that I am the Sovereign LORD."
You could still be stoned for rather trivial things even in Jesus's time.
Luke 20:3-5
3 He replied, "I will also ask you a question. Tell me, 4 John's baptismwas it from heaven, or from men?"
5 They discussed it among themselves and said, "If we say, 'From heaven,' he will ask, 'Why didn't you believe him?' 6But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us, because they are persuaded that John was a prophet."
Jesus thinks that stoning is a bad idea in John 8 but they sure as heck were ready to do it.
Even he fled from what seemed to be the standard punishment for blasphemy. in John 8
58 "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!" 59At this, they picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus hid himself, slipping away from the temple grounds.
Seems to me if I were a quote mining Christian of a particular variety I could find plenty of direct example and command to stone sinners. Of course this is totally out of context but you simply CANNOT use the no true scotsman on this one. Just because there are no stoning terrorists right now in the public interest does not mean that there are not parallels in this situation.
