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 curseth his father, or his mother [A rebellious son/daughter], shall surely be put to death. -- Exodus 21:17
God is commanding people to kill the rebellious children who disobey the wishes of the parents in marriage, business etc.

here's the thing, there was no means to obtain salvation but through the law. Jesus had not come yet to give salvation freely. This is how sin was dealt with before Jesus. . .
Why are people reading so much into the old testament to prove a point? The new testament clearly states that the old had been done away with because a Savior had come. Geez, brush up on your arguments!

you are talking about an uncivilized time where life was all about kill or be killed. not to mention that every culture on the planet was just struggling to make it.
we are used to the problems that they were either. a rebellious child (and most likely they dont mean little kid either) could have been the ruin (i mean ruined life, cast out of society, starve to death or killed) of the whole family.
rebellion didnt mean just running off with the chariot or staying out that with his inn buddies it meant beating you sister or stealing from your neighbor. things that could pontenially cause irreprable harm to the family.
they were harsh times. there were no dr. phils and oprahs back then.

You'd first have to define what a "honor killing" is before one could answer your question.
As for the verses, times were a little different back then. Rebelliousness could literally doom a family and possibly more.

I think you should stop posting incorrect passages from the Bible. I just went to a few in the last answer you posted about disciplining children, and every single one was incorrect.
Why do you think it necessary to lie?

That's the law! So I guess you would not disobey the law would you?

Yeah, God is serious about sin!

Yet another reason why religion is *not* harmless, and thus another death blow to Pascal's Sucker Bet.
