Children's bible Stories...

John from Some Strange Ideas comments on a topic that I've often wondered about. It's interesting what we read to our children. He talks of reading to his daughter from her new story Bible and covering such topics as...

- a couple of naked people frolicking in a garden who disobeyed by doing the one thing God had asked them not to do
- a young man who killed his brother in a jealous rage
- an old man who tied his son down on top of an altar and raised his knife to kill him as a sacrifice
- a younger brother who deceived his own dad to steal his older brother's blessing
- a father who deceived a young man into marrying his older, uglier daughter rather than the younger prettier one he hoped for
- a man who had two wives and loved one of them a whole lot more than the other
- a father who loved his youngest son the most and showed favoritism by giving him a dandy jacket

If these were TV specials I'd never let my kids watch them. Interesting, isn't it.
