When we are read to in Sunday school and in church, often what we hear are the passages of the Old Testament that can be explained away; they were sinners, they were not believers, God sought judgement on them. But what about passages like this?
2 Kings 2:23-24: "And he [Elisha] 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."
How do you view the passages like this that litter the Old Testament?
