My favorite gory scene:

“And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces before the LORD in Gilgal.”

I Samuel 15:33 (King James Version)

I too appreciate the “dirty” and “gory” parts of the story more as I get older. I know that I, with all my many faults, sins, and dark edges can more fully relate to the fall, penitence, submission, and final redemption of the people & lives of the bible. When I look in the mirror, I see the sinner and when I read the word, and see the most beloved of God like Noah, Saul, David, etc. stumble & fall horribly just like I do, yet remain His beloved, I appreciate all the more what He has done for me.

observational truth. i love it. we do tend to filter everything to suit our needs, don’t we? i want to understand and love the darkest, goriest parts of a savior who thought nothing of giving up what is ‘good’ on earth for something that is ‘better.’

we truly have no concept of it – because we just don’t get what the ‘better’ is and we won’t until we step into eternity.

the fact that he did know – and was up for the trade should tell us something.

anyway … i ramble …..

=) .

yes, its always good to start off with the nice stuff, so your kids like Jesus, then when they are mature enough get into the gory stuff, but you also have to translate to them how this gory stuff has to do with his love, his word, etc.
