E136: Solomon's Wisdom vs Federal Stupidity

ONE DAY CLOSER with Mark & Dave

Mark and Dave use a story from 1st Kings and the recent Crumley convictions, who were found guilty of crimes their son committed, to expand the conversation to what's wrong with our legal system, accountability and responsibility.
SHOW NOTES:
In the book of Kings, (1 Kings 3:16-28) there’s a story about two women claiming they are the real mother of an infant. Each women makes her case that the child belongs to them. The righteous Judge Solomon decides that to resolve the matter, the child should be cut in two, and each women would be given half the child. The REAL mother cry’s out NO…and surrendered her right to the child to save the child. By this action, the Judge determined that the REAL mother was the one that surrendered her right to half a child.

Solomon Makes a Difficult Decision

23 until finally he said, “Both of you say this live baby is yours.
24 Someone bring me a sword.”A sword was brought, and Solomon ordered,
25 “Cut the baby in half! That way each of you can have part of him.”
26 “Please don't kill my son,” the baby's mother screamed. “Your Majesty, I love him very much, but give him to her. Just don't kill him.” The other woman shouted, “Go ahead and cut him in half. Then neither of us will have the baby.”
27 Solomon said, “Don't kill the baby.” Then he pointed to the first woman, “She is his real mother. Give the baby to her.”
What do we learn from this example?

1. That righteous judgement requires both crafty and creative discernment to get to the truth!

Let’s Judge some News…shall we?

The kid that shot up a school in Ohio was sentenced for 25 years last week. His parents were also sentenced 10-15 years each for involuntary manslaughter for not reading the tea leaves of their son’s mental health. The school didn’t call the cops to pick the son up after the parents decided not to take him home that day.

The parents are not completely innocent in this case, but then neither is the school. The parents are sentenced because of lack of care…missing the signs given by their son. But what about the school? Does the counselor or Principal have a duty to report the kids behavior to the cops?

How about these scenarios?

A minor son decides to finish two bottles of vodka while the parents are fast asleep. He then decides to steal the car keys, still why the parents slept, and goes out and has an accident, killing four people in the other car. Should the parents be held liable?

Consider the innocent kid that ends up witnessing a drag queen story hour at school. The school introduced this gender conflict to the child, against the will or knowledge of the parents. If the kid goes down that path, who is responsible for any adverse effects?

The Drag Queen for confusing the kid to the point of suicide? How about the Librarian who invited the Drag Queen? Is she responsible? How about the School principal or school board? Maybe the Teachers Union? How about Planned Parenthood for creating the Sex Ed curriculum? The doctor prescribing blockers? The doctors performing life changing mutalations?

How about the protestors in Michigan last week that were calling for the death of America and death of Israel outdoors and to a crowd of protestors.

Why were these chants not considered dangerous and violent hate speech.? Why were they not arrested?

If something bad happens in the not too distant future that was tied to these protestors, could the police, governor Whitmore or the government be held accountable for NOT stopping the hate speech of the protestors?

This all boils down to Accountability!
