Sound's to me, like that Romans 10:3 verse could exactly, without qualification, be applied to how moslems, and all lawless men, behave in this world.
You are a joker Yadda. It is obviously Jews and Christians who have abandoned the laws of God. Not one Christian or Jew today enforces the Bible's law on adultery.
These verses were revealed after the Arabian Jews came to Prophet Muhammed and asked him what they should do with their own adulterers. Prophet Muhammed asked them what their own scripture said regarding adultery. The Jews covered the punishemnt verses with their hands as they read. A Jewish convert to islam, Abdullah ibn Shalom, then pointed out that the Jews were hiding the verses regarding the punishment. Prophet Muhammed ordered that the Jews follow their own scripture, and carry out the punishment. The Jews were furious.
41. O Prophet (Muhammad )! Let not those who hurry to fall into disbelief grieve you, of such who say: "We believe" with their mouths but their hearts have no faith. And of the Jews are men who listen much and eagerly to lies - listen to others who have not come to you. They change the words from their places; they say, "If you are given this, take it, but if you are not given this, then beware!" And whomsoever Fod wants to put in a trial or tribulation, you can do nothing for him against God. Those are the ones whose hearts God does not want to purify (from disbelief and hypocrisy); for them there is a disgrace in this world, and in the Hereafter a great torment.
42. They like to listen to falsehood, to devour anything forbidden. So if they come to you, either judge between them, or turn away from them. If you turn away from them, they cannot hurt you in the least. And if you judge, judge with justice between them. Verily, God loves those who act justly.
43. But how do they come to you for decision while they have the Torah, in which is the (unambiguous) Decision of God; yet even after that, they turn away. For they are not (really) believers.
44. Verily, We ("we" is used in the royal royal sense by God) did send down the Torah, therein was guidance and light, by which the Prophets, who submitted themselves to God's Will, judged the Jews, as did the rabbis and the (early) priests [judged the Jews by the Torah after those Prophets], for to them was entrusted the upholding of God's Book, and they were witnesses thereto. Therefore fear not men but fear Me (O Jews) and sell not My verses for a miserable price,
and those who judge by other than what God has revealed, those, they are the Disbelievers!"
45. And
We ordained therein for them: "Life for life , eye for eye, nose for nose, ear for ear, tooth for tooth, and wounds equal for equal." But if anyone remits the retaliation by way of charity, it shall be for him an expiation. And whosoever does not judge by that which God has revealed, such are the wrong-doing oppressors.
46. And in their footsteps, We sent Jesus, son of Mary, confirming the Torah that had come before him, and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirmation of the Torah that had come before it, a guidance and an admonition for the pious.
47. Let the people of the Gospel judge by what God has revealed therein. And whosoever does not judge by what God has revealed, such are the rebellious people (i.e. disobedient to God).
48. And We have sent down to you the Book (this Qur'an) in truth,
confirming the Scripture that came before it and it is trustworthy in highness, and a witness over it (old Scriptures) . So judge between them by what God has revealed, and
follow not their vain desires, diverging away from the truth that has come to you. To each among you, We have prescribed a law and a clear way. If God willed, He would have made you one nation, but that (He) may test you in what He has given you; so strive as in a race in good deeds. The return of you (all) is to God; then He will inform you about that in which you used to differ.
