Disobedient Son of Christian Courts

 

Judge Judy makes over $100 million a year, so there’s a market.  Maybe different courts will produce the analog to the scientific method, as Berman says in ‘Law and Revolution’ that scholastic comparison of law systems did.

 

This is a call for Videos ant (tran)scripts. We don’t want talking heads, but drama.

 

The case to be acted out: disobedient son. Deuteronomy 21:18-21 King James Version

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:

 

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;

 

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.

 

This can be approached either from discussions in books (North, Jordan at www.garynorth.com/freeboks) or from a case. (Son moves back in with parents after college, refuses to move out, plays video games in basement, etc.

 

Approach from church aspect, king/civil government aspect, family/house aspect.

Remember that Prager via Bledsoe contrasted father and MOTHER with the pagan societies’ view that the FATHER had  total control. ‘In theory at least, he held powers of life and death over every member of his extended familia through ancient right. In practice, the extreme form of this right was seldom exercised. It was eventually limited by law.[3]’  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pater_familias

 

Bring such a son before the court. I suggest 3  advisors—one for church, one for civil government, one for family.

 

What should be done? Consider that Newton spent plague years in his mother’s attic, working on his ‘Principia’. Consider Thorstein Veblen. Consider ‘college’ as prolonged adolescence.

A 2 minute video—a couple of pages, and one 5-8 and another 15-30 would be good.

 

What should the church do?  The civil government? How should the Highest Court be approached by  petition (prayer)?

 

This drama is not easy, but it must be done.

 

Using a variation of Pastor Meyers’ approach to the Psalms, we can ask; 1—How would this apply individually then? 2—Corporately then? 3—How was this fulfilled in Jesus? (He was charged with being a disobedient son, drinking wine wrongly, etc. 4—Wow, in wisdom, should this be applied now, corporately? 5—Now, individually?
