(sigh) It certainly helps to be discussing this with someone who has a little more knowledge than "pub-level"...
A lot of what was written in the OT was incorrect, one of the reasons for Jesus was to change many of the out-dated teachings which the Jews had held for thousands of years. The 'threats' God made were due to us
constantly disobeying and insulting Him.
If your child was that rebelious, would you not discipline him/her?
