Luke 17
20. And when he was demanded of the Pharisees, when the kingdom of God should come, he answered them and said, The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: 21. Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. 22. And he said unto the disciples, The days will come, when ye shall desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see . 23. And they shall say to you, See here; or, see there: go not after , nor follow . 24. For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of the one under heaven, shineth unto the other under heaven; so shall also the Son of man be in his day. 25. But first must he suffer many things, and be rejected of this generation.

If only I could follow this scripture without giving my puzzler a painful headache.

If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast. Psalm 139:9-10

All those commandments written in the Old Testament were not for us. They were all for the Jews of the time. So your statement at the end could be correct.

Deuteronomy, Chapter 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: 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;

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.

21 And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.

Its a good deal they didn't decide to have all the Grandmothers of his city come out...it'd never have come to pass

Deuteronomy 24 5 If a man has recently married, he must not be sent to war or have any other duty laid on him. For one year he is to be free to stay at home and bring happiness to the wife he has married. I had an instructor tell me that the word "happiness" has a sexual connotation.
