The Biblical Doctrine of Love

[jeremiah1five]

Tell that to your mom first.
Then go ahead and read about David's military campaigns against the Philistines.

Mom's lessons of good and evil come first.
Scripture comes second.

If you don't do it in that order, you end up making a mess of both mom's lessons and Scripture... as you have been doing.

In a Hebrew family the Scripture came first. In time Bat and Bar Mitzvahs would distinguish between child and adult.
Saul said, "when I became a man (around age fourteen) he put away childish things. He had to. Growing up Hebrew was an "organized" process.

 

[Pancho Frijoles]

In a Hebrew family the Scripture came first.

That's not true.
In no home the highly complex language like that of a sacred text comes before the basic notions of what is good and bad in child's daily life are.
An urban Jewish child who has never seen a murder or heard of a murder or understood the causes of murder comes to understand that beating another child because of his/her race is evil. No need to know the Ten Commandments.

Saul said, "when I became a man (around age fourteen) he put away childish things. He had to. Growing up Hebrew was an "organized" process.

Putting away childish things does not include considering "good" to send a person to a gas chamber on the basis of race.
Jesus, who you say you love, asked us explicitly to be as a child in order to enter the kingdom of God.
So, what is there in children that we must preserve to adult life?

Totally ignorant. The Law of Moses given to the Hebrews instructed the children of Israel in every aspect of their life and living. Thus, children from an early age were taught the Law of Moses as commanded by God.

5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Deut 6:4–9.

In other words, God's Laws to the children of Israel were to be talked about every waking moment of their lives. Repetition is, after all, the mother of all learning.

Putting away childish things does not include considering "good" to send a person to a gas chamber on the basis of race.
Jesus, who you say you love, asked us explicitly to be as a child in order to enter the kingdom of God.

That's exactly what God did in choosing Abram the HEBREW and his Hebrew seed to be the recipients of God's eternal life.

When Hebrew parents taught their children about the Law of Moses, did Jewish parents teach them to respect and do good to people from other ethnicities? Or did they teach them to send them to hell?

That's exactly what God did in choosing Abram the HEBREW and his Hebrew seed to be the recipients of God's eternal life.

That's not what the text clearly states.
Jesus asked people to be converted and become like children. So, whatever children had which was good, it was a condition that Jesus' audience did not have and should acquire.
Genes is not something you can acquire. You just have them or not.
So Jesus could not have asked anybody to become genetically what they were not.
Your argument has been refuted.

Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

 

[jeremiah1five]

No. Because the Jews lived among themselves when the Law was given and later their major concern was their own people. God never gave Israel command to love non-Hebrew Gentiles. Never. The command to love was given to the twelve tribes and the command to love was for Israel to love Israel ONLY.
According to the bible, that is.

That's not what the text clearly states.
Jesus asked people to be converted and become like children. So, whatever children had which was good, it was a condition that Jesus' audience did not have and should acquire.

Jesus spoke all His words to the Jews, not Gentiles. Jesus was prophesied to and for Israel ONLY. (Deut. 18:15, 18.)
Jesus was manifest (appeared) to Israel (Jn. 1:31) NOT Gentiles.
Jesus' audience was predominantly Jewish. Gentiles were not concerned about another self-proclaimed Messiah to the Jews.

Genes is not something you can acquire. You just have them or not.
So Jesus could not have asked anybody to become genetically what they were not.
Your argument has been refuted.

When God made covenant with Abram the Hebrew this family line was already separated from the rest of the Adamites and that's what separated godly people (obedient) from the ungodly people (disobedient.) The covenant separated Abram the Hebrew from the rest of the Adamites and circumcision was the sign that separated the seed of the woman from the seed of the serpent. So, God is the One that made division between the two groups of people and although there were many families among the Hamites and Jephethites but only ONE family of Hebrews. God divided the ethnicities. One Hebrew and one a people later to be identified as Gentile.

Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

Speaking to the children of Israel in covenant with God.
