Something that i read about kids in the bible that got to me

[zorgblar]

Why was it allowed for a mom and dad to have their child put to death for misbehaving?

[simplejeff]

Why is it allowed and very profitable TODAY in the United States to put a child to death FOR NOTHING !  Just for the convenience of the mom or someone else,  and the money, great amount of money, the doctors and pharmakeia get for this abomination before God ?

Habakkuk 1 New International Version (NIV)

1 The prophecy that Habakkuk the prophet received.

Habakkuk’s Complaint

² How long, Lord, must I call for help,
    but you do not listen?
Or cry out to you, “Violence!”
    but you do not save?
³ Why do you make me look at injustice?
    Why do you tolerate wrongdoing?
Destruction and violence are before me;
    there is strife, and conflict abounds.
⁴ Therefore the law is paralyzed,
    and justice never prevails.
The wicked hem in the righteous,
    so that justice is perverted.

======================================================

18 If a man has a stubborn and
rebellious son who will not listen to his father's voice, or his mother's voice; even though they discipline him, he will not listen to them;
19 then his father and his mother shall lay hold on him and bring him out to the elders of his city, and to the gate of his place;
20 and they shall say to the elders of his city, This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he will not listen to our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, and he shall
ftnt  4
die .

footnote 4    Rebellion in the home would lead to rebellion in society.

Because that was in the law, also a father could molest his daughter, and say he didn't and she would be put to death.

These verses explain the law and it's purpose.

 

1 Timothy chapter 1 verse7, 8

They want to be teachers of the law but they do not know what they are talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

We know that the law is good if one uses it properly.

Galatians chapter 3 verses 24,25,23

So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law. Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed.

 

 

 

Romans chapter 4

¹³ It was not through the law that Abraham and his offspring received the promise that he would be heir of the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith. ¹⁴ For if those who depend on the law are heirs, faith means nothing and the promise is worthless, ¹⁵ because the law brings wrath. And where there is no law there is no transgression.

 

 

 

1 Peter chapter 4 verse 8

Love covers a great many sins.

No,  it was not and is not in the law , TORAH.   He misquoted/ then you, not knowing the Bible,  did too.

If you are talking about the passage about a rebellious son in the Old Testament, this was not about a little child who could just use some correction and discipline.  This was about an adult son who was so rebellious against God that even his parents could not steer him away from sin.

In the Law, the penalty for a lot of things was death.  It was symbolic of "the wages of sin".

Reread the verses you are talking about.  No child could be a drunkard.  This person is not a child, but an adult still living at home.
