While I'm agin' sum of that dog barkin,' banshee skreemin', cruisimatic, strange wurship stuff, they is sho' nuff a couple of posters here what cud use sum of dat "Holy Laughter" stuff.
Want you to know I wasn't personally doggin your fatherhood. A matter of fact I read something a while back about something you do with your kids and I have tried to incorporate it into my fatherly duties.
I was just questioning the helping them break the rule of teacher thing. I know they are just paper hornets and boys are going to do stuff. I had a neighbor come to my place mad because my son and another boy were pulling bugs apart. She acted like they were killing cats or something.
Anyhow, God bless and love the brotherhood.

The most deadly sins do not leap upon us, they creep up on us.

What's the difference in cats and bugs? Neither have a soul so you should be no more alarmed at the mutilation of cats than you are of the bugs... if you are trying to be consistent in your revulsion at an act of your children.
I am just kidding about that but can you see why we just don't feel that Bro. CS has violated God in any way by teaching his boys the fine art of hornet making?
You cannot tell me that this was wrong! He knew they were going to do it anyway (they told them they were), so having this serious conversation with them was teaching them to be responsible for their actions!
It's very much like the "Well, they're going to do it anyway so let's make it safe for them" argument. He then proceeded to show them how to be more skillful in this action that he knew they were going to do in violation of school rules. What he should have told them was that they were wrong for doing it at school and that they needed to take it off school grounds.
All I can say is, your concept of Jesus is totally unlike mine.
Of course he never sinned. Neither did Coon or his boys or any other boy that flew a paper hornet.
But, the Jesus I know, was in all things nothing unlike his bretheren in the flesh according to Heb. 1. He had every tendency of a normal, natural, boy with every propensity inherent in young boys. I suspect that Jesus probably threw a haymaker or two on another boy that picked on him. Yet, in throwing his haymaker on the end of another boys nose, he never sinned. Neither did he sin if an arm or finger was broken when he overturned the tables in the temple.
Jesus was not a pervert nor was he some freaky humanoid. He was just like the two boys of Coonskinners, growing in wisdom, learning obedience, suffering the consequences of bad judgment. In ALL THINGS....yes, ALL THINGS, he was made like unto his bretheren. As a baby he nursed on a teenagers breast, had to have his diapers changed. As a young boy he behaved like one. As a man he cut a few stink bombs too. Get out of the notion that Jesus was some kind of a freak.
Since he grew up in Nazareth, it would account for the reason that in his own home, he was not received too well. He was too much like all the rest of his friends, neighbors and few enemies for him to be taken real seriously by them that knew him from his earliest childhood.
The Jesus that I know was just like me, yet without sin. He suffered every temptation that I've suffered yet he tells me TO BE ANGRY but don't sin in my anger.... It is an ideal to grow into. Jesus gave us the highwater mark to attain unto, falling short of it is NOT SIN, it is growth.
So, Jesus was a sinner in some ways but not in the really "serious" sins?
You said "He had every tendency of a normal, natural, boy with every propensity inherent in young boys" but to say this borders on blasphemy because the tendencies and propensities in boys came to them through a sinful, fallen nature. Jesus did not have a sinful, fallen nature.

LIke I said before...you and I know two different Jesus. You do not know the same Jesus that I know. You are absolutely unacquainted with the one that I know.
Did I say that Jesus was a sinner is some ways but not in the really serious sins? No! I did not. Your little tippy toe prance might be cute, but I am unimpressed. I did not say THAT.
Jesus was in EVERY respect just like me in his humanity. I will concede that he was NOT like you. See the scripture:
Hbr 2:17 Wherefore in all things it behoved him to be made like unto [his] brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful high priest in things [pertaining] to God, to make reconciliation for the sins of the people.
Now just in case you do not know what "ALL THINGS" means, ask someone to explain it to you. ALL THINGS means ALL THINGS.
Just in case you haven't figured it out yet, I did not say anything about Jesus having a fallen nature. Again, the little tippy toeing throug the tulips are not impressive to me. NOTHING was said about Jesus having a fallen nature.
