It is also clear, you haven't seen Jesus! Violence begets violence. I'm surprised you don't understand this. Has the pall of darkness hidden even the light from your vision?

Quoting scripture does not qualify as anything when ones paradigm is faulty. To the fact that you've noticed it , I would say, so what! Any erudite scholar can quote and take scripture out of context to support a faulty view.

If it is objectionable to strike an adult it must be doubly objectionable to strike a child!

Your terms of 'invaders' is a convenient cover to tar all refugees as criminal and to negate the responsibility of safe haven or does the story of the Good Samaritan convey meaninglessness to you? Highlighting that which is clearly obvious does not qualify as dictating.

Testimony!....hmmmm. To what do we testify? To ourselves or something else? Yes, we love to talk about ourselves; that is no surprise. The universe revolves around me me me. Is this what we testify to? Is this our witness? If I was in a court as a witness and all I did was talk about myself...

Hello livefree75, You might like to visit the link below, ie ReDiscovering God. It deals with the valid questions your Son is asking....his questions are the outcome of an honest enquiry to what has been generally taught in many Christian circles. The latter episodes particularly address these...

No doubt he aint the first one. Nebuchadnezzar come to mind.....and Idi Armin. There will be more.
