Hi Nbreeze,

 

Maybe you can add another post and talk about how you see the Parents Protection of the Child as a generational event.

 

For Instance the 1st generation Christian is the person who grew up in basically a non-Christian enviroment. This person might have participated in Halloween, gone to public schools, listened to secular music, watched secular TV, and movies, went to clubs, smoked, drank and did whatever. This person who came out of a life of Sin by accepting Jesus, does know what Sin is and also knows the misery and consiquinces of it and also they know who Jesus is and have experiences Devine Spiritual Encounters with God.

 

Now the person has children and this is the second generation. The Parents in all good intentions are not about to let their children become a part of anything that is on the list that they have come out of and consider to be sin. This in theory can lead to a sheltered Christianity and in some cases the person does not really have the knowledge of God or a knowledge of sin and therefore have a more separated life from God than the parent.

 

Then the second generation has children and since they did not have to make or take a stand for God they pass along to their children no firm beliefs. This third generation raises their children in basically a secular non-Christian enviroment and these forth generation children make for themselves the new determination to follow Jesus like the first generation and this starts the process all over again.

 

I think it is important that Every Generation has a relationship with God like they are the first and only generation to know God. It seems that God has made this point in the Bible as God does not acknowlege generations in separation from Himself. God does not have grandchildren, God only has the first generation of Sons and Daughters.

 

Looking forward to your thoughts in this area.

 

God Bless You,

David

Hi,

 

For sure getting the Christian walk down is a life long adventure!

 

Thank you for so adequately sharing your thoughts and where you are at right now with your walk with Jesus.

 

Also good perception that focusing on love and what to do is a better walk than focusing on sin and what not to do.

 

I think this is an important and valuable topic and thanks for your insight and I look forward to more of your posting.

 

God Bless You,

David
