It doesn’t affect my life one iota whether someone approves of my adherence to Scripture and my non-adherence to creeds or teachings of men.

I'm not concerned with the teachings of "men", mom. You have kids and maybe grandkids, now or in the future.

What are the teachings of YOU...not the teachings of men!

This is a terrible, ungodly age, and those kids need guidance. It good to say "go read your bible and figure it out for yourself?" There some merit in that.

But what is better is for you to share with them what God has taught you over your years here on earth. And that requires communicating it to them.

You've got to let them know about salvation, about eternity, about God Himself.

Don't let those kids down. "TRAIN up a child in the way he should go...."

How would you know or why would you presume that I didn't?

For all my adamant insistence of adherence to Scripture, the simplicity of the gospel, and the necessity of salvation by grace, through faith in Christ, not of works, is there something I said that would give you the impression that I would let my own children, my own flesh and blood, slide?
