That's OK the fault was my carelessness.

What view do you take for example of the Exodus 20 20:21 that say that if the death of a beaten slave is delayed by a day from the beating then no offence has occurred.

And what is your view on the stoning of "stubborn and rebellious" children?

There are, of course, our friends in the Middle East still operating by these rules.

They would argue that denying the absolute truth of any part of the scripture would make it all fall down like a house of cards.

You twist the words of the Bible.

Deu 21:18 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:

Deu 21:19 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;

Deu 21:20 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.

You imply little kids, but what little kids are drunkards? And son is not children.

To avoid recapitulating everything and to understand where I am coming from you could read the posts between ahban and myself starting at #315.
