10 Arguments Against Hell

[Aiza]

Jesus himself was not very respectful to his parents when he stayed behind debating with the temple priests, leaving his parents worried about him.

Really? Afaic, Jesus was extremely respectful and most humble as well. While his parents were frightened, when his mother confronted him he followed immediately followed her without protest, and obeyed both of his parents until his death:

Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.

What can be more lovely? It is this small handful of verses which encompass the entirety of the "hidden life" of Our Lord within Scripture. God himself, word made flesh, present even from the very moment of the universe began: a small boy who follows home his parents and is obedient unto them.

Nowhere does it say that Jepthah's own example is to be followed. Not all of the people in the Bible are good people. And while the Jewish laws can be interpreted in a variety of ways, if you read "the Bible" in its entirety, you would note that Our Lord abolishes capital punishments, for stoning in particular. Do you think its just an odd coincidence that Christians have never used stoning?

None of Scriptures were written during the Bronze Age actually, most of the OT was written during the Iron Age and the NT was written during Classical Antiquity. You would have to stretch the definition of "tribe" quite a bit.
