Yes, but those who understand the bible also know that this was under the Mosaic Law, a law that Jesus replaced with a new covenant when he was on Earth. Also, those laws were not in stone (well, technically they probably were) and it was encouraged to show love and lieniency when possible; the most harsh punishments were reserved for those who were totally unrepentant.
