I just don't see why a teenager even needs to confront his parents about their behavior unless their behavior is damaging him. The allegory sounded like a relationship issue that should stay between the parents and for him to get involved would seem inappropriate. IMO. Not worthy of death, obviously.<br /><br />But I certainly agree with Rose ASLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519675898483081005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359713856816206512.post-90263510105005018712012-05-05T20:02:48.447-07:002012-05-05T20:02:48.447-07:00I was threatened with the stoning scriptures in 19...I was threatened with the stoning scriptures in 1979. They were read aloud by the elders, with great flourish, but I was banished instead, since mob murder is against the law in the USA. That horrible church is still in existence, and goes by the terrible misnomer Grace Community. Communities that endorse mob violence are not very gracious, even if they only give lip service to such hatred.<brshadowspringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15172112981244682382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4359713856816206512.post-24645673131402898202012-05-05T09:17:29.082-07:002012-05-05T09:17:29.082-07:00Vent, sure.

Knowing what constitutes perfect 'justice' was death. There is a distinct lack of love in the OT, because the OT is what happens when you judge by the law, and not by the value of a person.<JoeSilentiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923882567640109309noreply@blogger.com
