RE: [RR] Comparative religions merit- any value?

[Andy Burns]

I believe that the Bible teaches us everything we need to hold in our arsenal against the enemy when we’re young Christians.   Obviously we need to learn more and stretch our wings and intellect as we grow in the Lord and in our personal walks, but we’re talking about kids here.   We don’t have to lie to our kids to teach them it’s wrong, and we don’t have to subject them to false doctrine for them to be able to recognize the difference between what they’re being taught at church and by their parents.   To do so would invite heretical doctrine into the children’s programs that doesn’t have any place there.   I don’t think I could state it any better than Josh except to be sure that we concentrate on getting the TRUTH taught to these kids.� Basic Milk and Cookies doctrine, no need for Caviar and Cr�me Brulee at this age.� J   Teach the Truth…� or as I always tell my kids… if you work on doing the “do’s”, you’ll not have time to worry about the “don’ts”   IMHO…   Parson     -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, June 15, 2001 5:41 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [RR] Compareitive religons merit- any value?   In a message dated 6/15/2001 10:44:54 AM Eastern Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:  We don’t need to teach them about the lies, Brother Andy, Got a question here on the above mentioned clipping, "If we don't teach them about the lies, how will they know to recognize them and avoid them?"  I thought it was necessary to teach them how to recognize them and then go the opposite direction from them? I mean, we don't want them to lie, we don't want them to be told lies, but knowing the difference in what one is would be a good thing, would it not? God Bless, Iron Mike
