 In a sense we are all already guilty of Christ's death, but this is something different. This is the idea of directly treating Christ with contempt which makes one liable for his death.

-Here is something really important. The word "in an unworthy manner" (αναξιως) is a hapax legomenon and so is hard to translate. In the context of 1 Cor. 11 the verse ahs to do with the manner of eating that the Corinthians were employing which was shameful (not waiting for each other).  That being said, we can still do this today when we partake of the Lord's Supper in a way that is disrespectful or in known rebellion against God. Hence, we are going to take some time for solemn confession, time to terat the sacrificial death of Christ with the respect that is due it.

 A natural question emerges, is baptism necessary for salvation? The answer comes down to the reading of one simple preposition "for" (εις).

-We actually don't know what stones Joshua wrote on. They may have been new stones or they may have been the stones of the alter. The point is that God's word was so important that Joshua needed to make a copy. The at of copying was a statement of worth and dependence on God. Surely the leader of the people had something better to do with his time than write out the OT Law. Writing it out demonstrated that God and his Word were vitally important.
