Why don't some of you people quit pretending that a 5-year-old having to attend public school for a less than a month is some sort of psyche-destroying, life-scarring, tragic event?
Of course, if it did not matter that we obey the commandments to "not forbid" little ones, Jesus should have known better than go on so about it. Apparently, it matters NOT whether Church leaders obey the commands regarding little children or not. This is yet another form of CHILD abuse by phony Christian leaders.
Then religious idiots whine about "Why are folks turning away from God, in their personal and business lives?"
Hello!!! maybe it has something to do with the fact that the folks who are supposed to be acting like Jesus... are acting like Beelzebub instead...
Salt, that has LOST its savor, is to be cast out and rejected by men... according to that annoying prophet and son of God... Jesus Christ. The leadership of many Churches has lost their savor. It matters little though, because so have MOST of the sheep, in the local flocks... Do you think phony hypocrites in Church leadership, might cause the sheep to fall away from God? Do you not believe sheep can and are "led astray?" Abandoning the child, because parents in the local church are upset about the mom's employment, even if she is a crack whore... is WRONG.
Funny that a stripper has more understanding of the principles of faith... than the preachers do... Like Jesus said to the "church" leaders of His day, scribes, pharisees, saducees and priests... "Whores and drug abusers will enter MY Father's kingdom BEFORE you ever will..."
Funny how HIS words still ring true... while the apologists for the phonies, go on about how this is NO big deal... just like they did the sexual molesters in another Big Christian Denomination.
Sin that hurts little kids by Christian leaders... IS a big deal... ESPECIALLY to those in alleged Christian leadership.
Offending "little ones" is but a precursor behavior to a damnation so severe, that being fitted with a millstone, and thrown into the sea, would be a better choice of behaviors for the offenders, according to Jesus.
You got a problem with THAT... why not take it up with Jesus, instead of me?
