Book Study-Prager's Rational Bible

That's true Nili, you can't really make a case by saying something didn't happen just because there is no record of it.

I think though the Sages of the time were very careful on how they executed (no pun intended) the commandments. I think they did the same when it came to stoning or strangling people who broke them.

The Talmud does record many instances of events and we don't see much or any evidence (from what I know, but could be wrong) of them carrying out death sentences. I think that is why, if I'm correct, it says if all are in agreement, the sentence is not to be carried out.

Thanks for the book recommendation!!
