Nope...wasn’t thinking of the courts at all.
I know I’ve seen posts from FReepers that suggested a good old-fashioned physical beat-down, followed by permanent expulsion from the home unless the offender get their life right was the right solution.
I don’t know what I’d do.
I've never seen that on FreeRepublic and certainly not by believing Christians.
I dont know what Id do.
Most these days have no principals. Most are lost when life's challenges face them. I've often said Parenting is not for cowards (as one famous author put it).
Christian principals are best because they have a foundation upon Christ's explanation of the first commandment: Mark 12: 29-31 The most important one, answered Jesus, is this: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these.
For it is based on Love.
