The Torah lists many harsh punishments for transgressing various commandments. Among the punishments are capital punishment\xa0carried out in various different\xa0methods\xa0including stoning and burning. The Torah also mandates lashes for other transgressions.\xa0

Though\xa0all of the Torah's capital punishments or corporal\xa0punishments have been discontinued\xa0over 2,000 years ago and are therefore not carried out by Jews today, the question still remains; why are the Torah's punishments so harsh? Isn't G-d loving, caring and forgiving even to sinners?
