parents? If a child asks for a fish, the parent will not hand them a stone, will he? Why did Jesus say; those who live by the law, will die by the law?
To err is human, to forgive is Divine.

No law was issued against a child speaking out in ignorance. And the Jews did not go around stoning their children for rebellion.

To forgive IS divine. It's hard for us mortals to do so.
Maybe Jesus meant those those live a good and virtuous life and don't harm others are protected by the same laws that require others to act the same...
Who knows, the whole Bible is a mystery.

If you think of the golden rule or the law of karma, you are doing things to yourself. If you live by something you die by it (and because to live is to die too, it's simply the way we live and die). It's not revenge or punishment, but simply the direct effect of one's action. Or it could be said that we perpetuate what we do, like looking at ourselves in a mirror.

Taoism teaches that children are meant to speak out agianst thier parents, if there is something the child doesnt agree with, I rather like that.

Nice speech. No one has stoned a kid in my neighborhood recently. Maybe in yours?
