    Should christians ignore the OT?

    I'm in a discussion on another site, discussing the sabbath. The OT, in the 4th commandment, tells humans to observe the sabbath, and in the book of Numbers, the fate is outlined of a man who gathered sticks on the sabbath and was subsequently stoned to death for this 'crime' (perhaps for...

    Should belief be private?

    Hi ChristineES Interesting question, and your last sentence just provided my response to you! You conveyed what you believe to your children without the need to dwell on the parts that could scare them. Many parents don't approach it this way. If the parent believes sincerely in a version of...

    Do you believe in a global flood?

    Thanks for your reply, rusra02. From the quote above, I take it you are reading genesis as a literal historical document? Before I respond, could you tell me if you believe that the flood was global or local (with evidence for your assertion)? This has a bearing on the availability of dry land...

    Should belief be private?

    Yes, there are a variety of views regarding hell. It's the fire and brimstone version that I am concerned with. I've seen the effects of teaching this version to kids first hand. I suppose I should state here that my experiences of religion have not been positive, which is why I may be coming...

    Should belief be private?

    My previous points have been about teaching kids to be part of a religion. My last post is concerned with telling kids what I think / believe if they ask. There is a difference. One is indoctrination and the other is education.

    Should belief be private?

    I am in agreement with you, but what is it about my wording that you disagree with (I'm not being defensive, just curious!)

    Should belief be private?

    Tarasan, we can and do teach our children things - that's how they learn right from wrong, not to put their hand in the fire and so on. I agree with your last statement. We can tell our kids what we believe (or don't believe) with regards to religion, but ultimately, as with anything deeply...

    Should belief be private?

    Where do your children hear about hell and punishment, if it's part of the christian worldview? Will you be happy with them knowing about such a concept? How would you feel if they rejected your views? Sorry- so many questions!:D

    Should belief be private?

    Why would it matter? Because that child may go through it's life feeling guilty about the fact that it rejected his/her parents belief and have a nagging doubt about burning in hell into the bargain.

    Should belief be private?

    That's the problem with written communication, I suppose. Sometimes the subtler inferences are lost.

    Should belief be private?

    StephenW I feel you are missing the purpose of this thread. My opening post is concerned with religious belief. I'm sure you don't tell your children that they will be punished as sinners if they don't follow your love of motorbikes. Well, hopefully not, anyway...:D

    Should belief be private?

    I see what your saying, but I'm referring specifically to religious aspects of life. Of course as a parent, I will teach my daughter right from wrong within the society she lives in. That's because we all have to adhere to these norms to get along. But I feel children shouldn't be exposed to...
