Just defending someone slightly...

Hi Judy ~ welcome back...it is very difficult to learn not to take the bait...of good intentions!
Wonderful to see that Wisdom brought to you the Peace that passes understanding of the world and you ditched the baggage without causalities to your sweet heart and insight!

Revilonivek:
The whole point here is to remember this,
Jesus died because God loves us so much, He wanted us to show us, he wanted us to SEE The Way past sin. He died so we could do the same. In Jesus, we see the full embodiment of God's character: compassionate, ultimately concerned about injustice, self-sacrificing, and unconditional.
God revealed his radical grace for all, It wasn't until I began to really understand grace: nothing we do (or don't do) will change God's love for us, When that radical truth finally started to set in, I asked, "Why? Why would God give us such grace and love for nothing in return?"
And then it hit me like a ton of bricks: so we could live fearlessly, love fearlessly, and act fearlessly for His glory with your life toward everyone. Unconditional love toward all, Both great and poor, worst sinners and good sinners alike. We are no different from that homosexual guy or that tax collector, or a thief. Once we unite, it is the Kingdom of God in perfection.
Just my two cents.

Forget the Cursing of parents. Lets forget that entirely for a second. Pretend it never even came up.
Aaron's point (the way i see it) was that in Leviticus they ordered children to die.
Aaron's point being now that Children are NO longer ordered to die in the New Testament.
The way i see it, Ray didnt address that today, we no longer order children to die. He instead talked about the other bit.
Anyway, its not really a huge deal.

Actually, all sinners are required to die, as the OT states. It's just not in the literal sense that most assume it to be:
Rev 20:12-14 ...the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books. The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
I know that wasn't your main point Zander, just an observation that came to mind. :)
Thanks,
Marques
