| Jun 18, 2020 at 22:57 | comment | added | Gus L. | You say it doesn’t make much sense to call your son “dog,” but there is a strong theme of utter obedience throughout the torah. In fact that utter obedience was the reason the Caleb was not killed and entered the promised land. This theme of obedience manifests through Christ as well with his repeated “not my will but your will be done”. This stands in stark contrast to our modern USA take which matches adam and eve, “not your will but my will be done.” While utter obedience sounds gross to you and me, it seems that the ancient hebrews saw this as a virtue. | |
