Actually I think you're the one missing the forest for the trees.
The main message behind "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" type hippy passages is that you don't need to punish sinners cause God will do that for you. And he will do it soon. And it will be bloody. And you will rejoice at the sound of justice being done to those who deserve it.
If you ignore the supernatural elements and focus on the parts you like you aren't even close to seeing the forest. The seeming pacifism is just yet another passive function of waiting for judgement day.
