Subject: Why God killed boys for teasing Elisha |
Bible Note: Doc, Do you think there is something in the mocking we are not seeing because we don't understand what is truly being conveyed in the mocking, "Go on up" and "baldhead?" For example: I didn't know that when an Arab hit you with his shoe he was degrading you in his strongest terms until I saw them slap the statue of Sadam's head. (And threw a shoe at Pres. Bush.) If someone did that to me, I wouldn't think too much of it because I'm not in the culture. I am wondering, since I read this question, what made the phrase, "Go on up, you baldhead." so degrading and demeaning? Any thoughts? MJH |
