Jesus wasn't advocating stoning spoiled kids, he was criticizing the Pharisees for manipulating the law to work around God's law.

I have read the whole of it and he quoted the punishment of death by man as a warning.

I get those that want everythinbg to be flowers; unfortunately it is not. There is the Trinity.

I guess I just don't see the reasoning behind the assertion that Jesus preached compassion; therefore, man cannot be punished by society. I assume you have no issue with punishment; only the penalty of death. As I said at the beginning you cannot have it half way.
