Your ignorance of His Word is so complete I do not think I could help you
understand it. Besides, it takes an open mind and a free-thinker to
understand the Bible. But I will give you this pearl. When Jesus told the
men "He who is without sin may cast the first stone" He was NOT arguing with
the judgment to kill the whore (that had already been passed in accordance
with the times), He was arguing with their right to kill her. She was in
every way guilty of the crime of prostitution and Jesus did not deny that.
And though a son who behaves in the way you speak would deserve death in
accordance with the Old Testament, Jesus (the New Testament) took away your
right to do so. BTW, there is a lot more to that verse and the issue than a
child merely cursing his parents. You are trying to accuse when you only
know a little piece of the total of what God's said about the rebellious
child.

All the result of the freedom of choice God gave us. They are each acts of
men, not God. His Word is incorruptable. Man's wisdom and perception of
God's Word is not.

I'll bet it does now.

I have. Have you? Have you provided 24-7 care for 24 kids over ten years?
Have you adopted seven kids? Felling quite small now, do ya?
Don't bother replying. It won't make it to our inbox.
Goodbye.
