Stone your child if he srays from the faith?

[heart_changed99]

Where in Deut. does it say that, if at all?

*ahem* the title should read: Stone your child if he *strays from the faith?

[heart_changed99]

Nevermind. Found it.

Here (http://www.biblegateway.com/keyword/?search=stone&version1=31&searchtype=all&spanbegin=5&spanend=5) is a search on this subject, in that book.

The reference could be here:


Deuteronomy 13

6 If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, "Let us go and worship other gods" (gods that neither you nor your fathers have known, 7 gods of the peoples around you, whether near or far, from one end of the land to the other), 8 do not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity. Do not spare him or shield him. 9 You must certainly put him to death. Your hand must be the first in putting him to death, and then the hands of all the people. 10 Stone him to death, because he tried to turn you away from the LORD your God, who brought you out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. 11 Then all Israel will hear and be afraid, and no one among you will do such an evil thing again.

Sorry, my apologies.

Deuteronomy 21:18-21

18If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:

19Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;

20And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.

21And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Indeed. I imagine this scripture is always misinterpreted. Barak Obama used it in one of his speeches, and it was severely misunderstood. :doh

Corissa:

What's the correct interpretation of this oft misunderstood passage?
