Kids are human beings not manipulation. Man, that is more violent then blowing up a tower. Using your kid to gain power over another person's faith. The only one who has that right is God. And He did it through Jesus Christ. I don't think there are many parents today that support their kids going to a cross. That is because it doesn't work anymore. Christ did it once and for all. Moderate or extreme I must say we are all decieved if we think our child's faith will win a soul (or action for that matter). I must tell you such moderate men strike terror in me because their extreme faith might just be converting others. Faith without Jesus is still destructive and verbally degrading. Your point has me thinking.Tamarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00901668354272963305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19780392.post-1140037007222850012006-02-15T15:56:00.000-05:002006-02-15T15:56:00.000-05:00Alicia - good thoughts.

You're right about Muslims taking over quietly through having more children (for an example we need only look to Western Europe where most people have one kid if that, but Muslims are growing far faster). Reformed Christians are right to talk about growing the Kingdom through having big families (and I'm all for it) but I hope that mindset doesn't predispose us to thinking Islam is a bigger threat than it is. We can try to combat it by having more kids, but let's not forget that we can also grow the Kingdom by spreading the Gospel to Muslims AND their children. <BR/><BR/>Muslims are just non-Christians, as are athiests and secular humanists and so forth. Everyone wants to see his own way of thinking advanced, and as you pointed out in your comments on Jared's blog, the world hates Christ and His followers...Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07110475906348538090noreply@blogger.com
