The son's rebellion is justified if the parents demand he break the law.
He must repeat rebellion after being instructed to obey.
He cannot be either deaf or lame.
He must be a "glutton and drunkard."
He must steal the money from his father to get drunk.
He has to eat the meat rare (to be a glutton).
Both parents must agree that he's rebellious.
The son must be older than the age of conscience, i.e. 12 years old.
And the parents must have a solid marriage bond, i.e. similare in "appearance, height, and voice."
The Talmud specifically states that no child was ever stoned under this law. Like many other Mosaic Laws this one (Deut 21: 18-21) was intended for instruction both prior to the first Advent and after.
Woot, I should just let you know now that anything you post regarding the bible, I don't even read any more. You might actually be the most non-biblical christian I've ever heard. Most of what you post can't be substantiated for nothing, it's just your own personal take on all things apologetic.
Also, True Christians don't need the Talmud to justify the "perfect Word of God."
I still LOVE your version of Hell though big fella.
