"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"
I wonder which christian will be fist to excuse tis by using one of the following excuses :
1) saying that it has to be taken in context
2) saying that it has to taken in the context of the time it was written
3) saying "oh, but that's the old testament that doesn't count anymore ......... except of course when it can back up our arguments"
4) being able to randomly choose which bits are to be taken literally and which bits are to be taken as a metephor.... as the need arises.
5)You need faith
