Hi GIA,

Just a question.
Would you stone your unruly son?
Would you help stone an unruly brother or sister?
Would you expect other father to?
If I was one of the people that this rule was given too along with the other 600+ rules, that had walked across a dry sea bed, watched a pursuing army drown, had drank water from a rock that followed me around day and night. Had been able to go out every morning and get food off the ground and what I did not use spoiled and was no good the next day but I could get a double portion on Friday and it would not spoil. When I got tired of this food and asked for meat it was provided. During the day I had a cloud over me to give me air conditioning and then on the cold nights I had a pillar of fire to keep me warm. My clothes and shoes did not wear out. Now the rule if the children would not obey and could not be corrected they were to be stoned to death. I say yes I would throw the first stone.
I can see where there would not be many stoning after a little while because the children and everybody else would learn to obey. The survival of the fittest would prevail don't you think.
I still say if those rules all of them were enforced today our jails would be empty. Our graveyards would be overflowing, and be more like the county dump. But there are a lot of things that go on today that would not under those laws.
Have fun,
