E, It's worth noting that their were 3 offenses in the Levitical laws that required death by stoning. 1. adultery 2. homosexuality 3. incorrigibly disobedient children Today this would be 1st degree murder in our society with the added charge of "hate crime" for #2. Under the law of the time the children were being disrespectful and could under the law of the time be stoned. If that were true today I would not have survived. My neighbor's would have invoked the law and stoned me to death <gg>. That's the truth! The levitical laws were a time before the "age of grace" which we are in now. Jesus's coming suspended the law and made it obsolete in favor of a better way, thank God. God very clearly pointed out that we are no longer under the "curse of the law" (all those who accept the new contract, Jesus). So it's interesting to note that the changes God made 2 millennia ago have been incorporated into our laws today. Many misunderstand the central message in Job thinking it to be how Job suffered and was vindicated. The "patience of Job". Actually Job stated the problem that man suffered under, the fact that we had no access to God to plead our case. We had no "rights" as we call them today. Job understood he had no right to expect anything better. God did not owe him anything regardless of the favor he had previously enjoyed. Although he complained about his problems Job understood better than we do today that God had no responsibility in the matter. Job 9:32-33 "For He is not a man as I am that I may answer Him, That we may go to court (judgement) together. There is no umpire between us, Who may lay his hand upon us both." That statement by Job summed it all up, the need for the umpire between us and God. Jesus became that umpire and changed our "status". We are no longer under the curse of the law, but in the age of grace. cya, Bob
