Is this another one of those catch 22 situations? If you guys don’t warn Scrat them about it, they might end up as one of those crackpot fanatics, Registered User wearing sandwich boards, roaming around the city ranting and raving. But Joined: Monday, 3rd of May 2010, 11:47:04 if you guys do warn them about taking religion too seriously, what’s to Posts: 1205 stop them from taking the entire religion seriously at all?

It is called being ''legalistic''; meaning, taking in too much hayhay the details & latching on to them as a bigger importance than what they Registered User really are. Joined: Saturday, 12th of June 2010, 03:05:40 Posts: 174 God sends out preachers of all forms..what you deem as 'normal' another Viewed 16275 times person may see as 'bizarre' in their approach to getting God is word out.
Keep it in mind that God uses ALL KINDS of people of all kinds of
persuations to get His message out. Do NOT sit in judgement of those who
seemingly appear as not being ''proper'' in how they convey God is
message. That is not for you to decide.
God used John the Baptist to get the message out before Christ entered the
picture. John was seen as a very strange, unusual man. He dressed very
oddly, was bold & aggressive, & had a strange appetite.
Moses stuttered, yet he did God is work. God loves to use people who are
not 'typical' or 'usual' in their day. People who even today would be
shunned because of their appearance, mannerisms, or the way that they
talk.
Conclusion: No need to ''warn'' anything. God is Holy Spirit is Who does
the work, & we are but messengers. Children need to hear God is word from
early on, as it is a blessing to offer to children to have the peace that
God is love offers. So long as the message is straight from the Bible,
then Who Cares what the person is wearing, how they speak, their age,
nationality, race, gender or odd habits????

The purpose of religion is to free ones heart..and create peace squishy between people..God gave us religion to bring healing between us & healing Registered User for our spirits & bodies.. Joined: Sunday, 18th of April 2010, 00:14:45 Posts: 740 There are those who are forceful with it & those who condemn other Viewed 6293 times religions..and so forth...
I believe Good & Righteous religions that are Pure, when practiced
correctly, Open the Heart of the follower...We must teach our children to
use religion in a way that feels good in their hearts. This way they are
not HURTING people with their religion but creating closeness & nearness &
healing. Their heart remains open & they give LOVE & share words & actions
of PEACE that in turn helps others to open their hearts..and this is deeply
satisfying to the one who parctices this way...this is real happiness..
This is what religions are for...if you are practicing something else.it
can be a dangerous road to travel..Beware...keep checking in with ur
intentions...

A better question may have been, ''Should christians warn their Annbelle Lee children about the dangers of rejecting Christ''. Your question is loaded.

It is not a matter of taking it seriously. There is no limit to Dippity Do Da how seriously you should take ur faith. The problem is people spreading bad Registered User teachings. Joined: Thursday, 29th of April 2010, 11:50:20 Posts: 1502 For example this stupid ''church'' in West Virginia that celebrates our Viewed 13668 times soldiers dying is just a bunch of inbred hicks led by an ingorant
hillbilly. If you were to go show them what the Bible actually says God
does with countries that support homosexuality & sodomy, & you could
actually get it through their solid rock skulls, they would stop following
that set of beliefs.
And BTW, God never once destroyed any country or city that merely had
homosexuals living in it or that were tolerated there. It was when Soddom
& Gamorrah became completely over run by them that God did something. And
He didnt have their soldiers die in some war, he annihilated both towns
beyond any possible repair or recognition by raining fire onto them.
Find a Church that preaches true doctrine, exactly word for word from the
Bible in the literal sense & that will be the right kind to take seriously
& be excited about.
