Dearest Linda, I agree with you 100% that if the children would have some discipline intheir lives, they wouldn't be headed straight for jail or even straight to hell.It says in the Bible that in the latter days that children will be disobeident to their parents. We find in the Book of 2nd Timothy chapter 3, verse1 through 8 that it says " this know also that iin the last days, perilous times shall come. For men will be lovers of their own selves, covetious, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobiedient to [[arents, unthankful, unholy. Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, feirce, despisers of those that are good. Traitors, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God. Having a form of Godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with diverse lusts. Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of truth.Now as Jannes and jambrees withstood Moses, so do thesealso resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith." Now if these passages do not fit the children of today, then it makes the Bible out to be a lie, for old men dont break into womens houses and lead away silly women, olny children do these things spoken of throughout these verses. Time out is a farce and a good whack upside the head will mostly get a childs attention to where a person can teach them right from wrong. Some children are just running around with the wrong crowd and need to be included in family outings and things to do at home on rainy days instead of running around smoking dope and doing all kinds of reprobate things. It is my opinion that these verses were written for the adults, so that they would know that children throughout the ages have lost respect for authority that should come from the homes and parents of the children, I used to be a child and I would promise not to take the new van out of town. But give me the keys and a few dollars and away we went to an out of town party. People need to wake up and realize that children will lie just to get what they want, and when they get it, the deal is off to help dad with the yardwork or whatever chores that dad or mom had in mind. America needs to wake up before we lose our children to drugs and aids and all sorts of shool shootings and anything that the devil can entice our kids to do today. Look at the teenage pregnancy rate and the number of unwed mothers and tell me that someone doesnt have a reprobate mind. I am not one to get in the middle of a quarrel, but to think our kids are little angels that can do no wrong is proposterous. May God Wake our Kids up and may the parents have enough sense to realize that we are living in the end times where all it takes is a few dollars or a few beers and our daughters are buck naked having sex with multiple partners. Remember Woodstock? Things are no different now than they were then. If you think that they are, you are just kidding yourself. May God Help us all..Dave
