Jesus condoning the killing of children's through the Torah!
Below we read a couple of commandments made by God in the Torah on what punishment should be given to a child who curses his parents..,
--------------
Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death.
(Exodus 21:17)
Anyone who curses their father or mother is to be put to death. Because they have cursed their father or mother, their blood will be on their own head. (Leviticus 20:9)

Interesting We read Jesus accepting the law of killing children's who curse their parents!?? Bear in mind he never condemned it rather reminded the Jews how they are not obeying the law.... Only Because the Jews challenged his disciples why they don't wash their hands? I urged you all to read mark 15:3-6... I'll only post verses 3-4
3 But he (Jesus) answered and said unto them, Why do ye also transgress the commandment of God by your tradition?
4 For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
The above verses carry on saying how the Jews don't obey the killing law given in the torah, and they changed it for another... This only tells us Jesus would allow the killing of children's who disobey there parents....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's is clear from the above this man Christians call the prince of peace was obeying of the OT law and we know that from his own lips (Matthew 5:17) Imagine how many more sick laws are there in the OT that Jesus neither commended nor abrogated... Other then divorce or hate
No wonder we read passages like
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send
peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his
father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law
against her mother-in-law" (Matthew 10, 34, 35).

Either Jesus or the author got it wrong. The question is, which one?
1 Then Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said, 2 “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? For they do not wash their hands when they eat.” 3 He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? 4 For God commanded, ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘Whoever reviles father or mother must surely die.’ 5 But you say, ‘If anyone tells his father or his mother, “What you would have gained from me is given to God,”6 he need not honor his father.’ So for the sake of your tradition you have made void the word of God.(Matthew 15:1-6)
Either Jesus of the author got it wrong. Tradition of the elders does not say to wash hands, rather washing hands as purity is found in the Torah.
The washing of hands is required before eating a meal at which bread is served. One reason for hand washing is purely mundane: to clean them before eating. The origin of this law, however, is biblical (Exodus 30:17-21). Moses was commanded to make a copper laver and to place it at the entrance to the altar area so that Aaron and his sons could wash their hands before approaching the altar to offer sacrifices. Verse 20 concludes, “. . .and it shall be for them a statute forever.” The washing of hands makes them ritually pure. This symbolic expression of washing away impurity from one’s hands dates back to Temple times, when the priests (Kohanim), as described above with Aaron, devoted their lives to the Temple and its sacrificial system. Before performing any ritual, a Kohein was required to wash his hands, making himself pure and ready to offer a sacrifice.
Saying this was tradition makes Jesus or the author ignorant of the "Torah" this raises the question, did they even know about Exodus 30? Was not Jesus a learned rabbi? Calling the commands of Yahweh as traditions of the elders dismissed the validity of that book. Note, the author is writing what the Pharisees said which cannot be verified, since he was a Christian he won't favour the Jews in the first place. Also Jews don't claim washing hands is a tradition
