I was inspired by God to write this

Any religious person that writes anything about God or religion is inspired by God and their religion.

Inflected Form(s): in·spired; in·spir·ing

But being inspired by God isn't the same as knowing who , or what God is , and or what he wants from us. Many Christians have a vision of the Bible as a book but that is the farthest thing from the truth. The Bible isn't a book but is a collection of books written by many different authors. We should adopt an attitute of examing each book as a separate entity. For instances, Levicitus, is it really a stand alone book that you believe holds any real meaning in your life?. In our modern world what do we use it for other than to codemn homosexuality or adultry. Is that a message that parallels the lesson of love and forgivness of the cross found in Mathew?

Just because somebody writes "'If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or his mother, and his blood will be on his own head" and says that God said so does it really mean that God said so. No, of course not. The author obviously seems inspred by God but that still dosn't make his opionion any better than yours. Do you really think that God EVER wanted us kill disobedient children?

Well the tradition goes that Leviticus along with Genesis, Exodus, Deuteronomy and Numbers were dictated to Moses by G-d on Mt. Sinai. Leviticus is simply an extention of the laws that G-d meant to govern over the hebrew people.
As far as killing diobedient children, i don't think G-d meant for us to ever actually do that but it was to drive the point home to children to respect you parents.
I mean how many times have you looked at someone and said "I'm gonna kill you for that" or "I kill a muthaf****r for saying $h!t like that". Do you actually kill them? or, morelikely, is it simply a figure of speech?
One thing that i think the Torah shows is that though G-d punishes Man for messing up he is always quick to forgive.

Parental Respect: "Children are obliged to treat their parents with honor and respect. Children must provide dependent parents with food, clothing and personal attention if it is necessary. This obligation is removed from a daughter when she marries." "Children may not abuse their parents. According to the Bible, if a son is extremely rebellious and incorrigible and refuses to mend his ways . . . his parents may agree to bring him to the town elders for judgment and punishment, which could be death by stoning. However, there is no record of such punishment ever having been carried out." (Encyclopedia Judaica Jr.)

Jewscout -

I'm curious why you do not type the word God? You type G-d, as if you are trying not to offend him.
As another point, I have to say that I don't believe that I have ever looked at someone and said "I'm going to kill him".

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about. And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all. And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. And he closed the book, and he gave [it] again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. Luke 4:14-21

Jesus did not deliberate on the scroll of Isaiah; it was handed to him. He did not make an effort to search for the passage in question but found it spontaneously, almost like a Greek "Eureka." Indeed, Jesus was performing those actions at that time. However, if the religious leaders of the synagogue did not recognize these "signs" of inspiration during the synagogue scene, there is little we can do to emphasize these revelations today.

There also Bible verses like this wonderful piece of work.
