"Deuteronomy 21: 18-21 orders killing of children up to any age for disobedience. Why is that?"
Someone asked me this so i had a look and found
"If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid."
I read some commentaries to see if i may have misinterpret it but it appears I haven't.
I don't know what to say to this person who asked me. They stoned this boy or man to death for being stubborn, rebellious, eating and drinking too much
