The Jews disobeyed and rebelled. Jesus disciplined them.

Do you agree killing your son is not a solution? It all depends on the answers to the questions you didn't answer. Would depriving the son of life-giving resources count as killing?

There is no excuse for any one in taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed, and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for many years by our people, is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. No true doctrine will lose anything by close investigation. RH 12/20/1892

Do you mean by using force to deprive your son?

Depends what you mean by force. The father just stops giving the son anything he requires to live. No more anything. As if the father did not exist. Does that count as the father killing the son?

Given that the son is able to go out and "hurt, injure, damage, and kill as many as he can", I would say, no.

So if I refused to feed and clothe my son and let him starve and freeze to death, I'm still in the clear?
BTW, just because one is able to "hurt, injure, damage, and kill as many as he can" does not mean that such a one is self-existent. He may still need help from others in order to live.

Given that you said: Let's say my son tells me that his life goal was to hurt, injure, and damage himself before ultimtely committing suicide. On top of that, he will make every effort to hurt, injure, damage, and kill as many as he can in the meantime. I certainly would not be agreeable to such a plan.
It seems to me that your son would be "self-existent". Me thinks you are attempting to make your rhetorical question into a real question and you are having problems doing it. Otherwise, you are trying to take some rather odd and obtuse situation and make generalities out of it. Which still comes back that killing your son is not an option. If your son is suffering from mental problems, perhaps a loving thing to do is seek help for him rather than killing him.

Deut 22:8 "When you build a new house, then you shall make a parapet for your roof, that you may not bring guilt of bloodshed on your household if anyone falls from it.
Why? The one who fails to build a parapet would not harbor hate to those who fell, he would not be planning their deaths, he merely had other things to do and the death was only an accident. If the commandment somehow makes some sort of distinction between killing and murder, then why this statement?
Isn't this really saying there is not distinction, that accidents can happen, but one should do all in their power to prevent them? Isn't this what love really is about rather than killing those who disagree with you?

My son could do all sorts of damage, but if I stop feeding and clothing him, he would die shortly after. Consider Satan. Self-governing does not imply self-existent. Or maybe I misunderstood what you are trying to say. Are you trying to say that if God just went away completely, and ceased all interactions with Satan, that Satan would still continue to exist? That would be self-existent. Me thinks you thinks.

Isn't it odd that APL and Kland have no problem with Jesus withdrawing HIs protection and permitting evil men and evil angels to cause unspeakable carnage - carnage that often includes the suffering and death of innocent women and children.
