What the Bible says about Children

Children who refuse to obey their parents must be executed.
If 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: Then 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; And 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. And 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. -- Deuteronomy 21:18-21
He that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death. -- Exodus 21:15
He that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death. -- Exodus 21:17
Children who mock their parents will have their eyes plucked out by ravens and eaten by eagles.
The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it. -- Proverbs 30:17
Like Abraham, parents should be willing to kill their children for God.
And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and ... offer him there for a burnt offering.... And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. -- Genesis 22:2,10
God killed all the firstborn children in an entire country.
The LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon.... And there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. -- Exodus 12:29-30
Sometimes God kills children for misbehaving.
And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. -- 2 Kings 2:23-24
Someday God will force parents eat their own children.
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat. -- Leviticus 26:29
And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters. -- Deuteronomy 28:53
And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend. -- Jeremiah 19:9
And then there's this statement, which could only be found in the Bible:
Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones. -- Psalm 137:9

Its better you remain at the confusion state. The next stage is YABA left, the bible is the most self explanatory book if you try not to read or quote it out of context.

Yes, and some people who think they are sane will come here defending the bible and even quoting texts form it in order to defend it.
Makes no sense to say "Thou shall not kill", yet you are the chief murderer.
If that biblical God was available here, he would be at the ICC for mass genocide.

yaba left

Na so I read it in my bible oo

"Do not think that I have come to do away with {or} undo the Law or the Prophets; I have come not to do away with {or} undo but to complete {and} fulfill them." (Matthew 5:17).

"And He called a little child to Himself and put him in the midst of them, And said, Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven [at all]." (Matthew 18:2-3).

"But He said, Leave the children alone! Allow the little ones to come to Me, and do not forbid {or} restrain {or} hinder them, for of such [as these] is the kingdom of heaven {composed}." (Matthew 19:14).

"If any of you is deficient in wisdom, let him ask of the giving God [Who gives] to everyone liberally {and} ungrudgingly, without reproaching {or} faultfinding, and it will be given him." (James 1:5).

Am sorry if you are offended by my response, never meant it in that light.
I may not be an encyclopedia in theology, but the christian faith is sum up in one chapter matthew 5


after the fall of man from the garden of eden, God desired to have a perfect race on earth he chose the israelites, by way of abraham and his descendant. With perfect laws to keep them upright

In our society today parents have sent their rebellious children to remand and borstal homes, that does not mean the parent are wicked.

Haven't you ever sat and wondered why only white and pale skinned countries are developed, while EVERY SINGLE black country languishes in poverty and mediocrity? Do you know that the placebo effect is a real and observable phenomenon? Quit worshipping these white people in your heads, or at least replace the white images in your head with black ones. As a Christian, whenever I prayed to Jesus, I used to envision a white or Semitic man in my head. And then I suddenly connected that attitude with the plight of black people. It could be that we're using our minds against ourselves, sort of like a negative feedback loop. I don't have everything figured out yet, but it's unusual that NOT EVEN ONE black country is considered first world, don't you think?
