Disastrous news! Despite our best efforts to teach our children to Fear God (Proverbs 13:24), we have failed. A very worrisome new study has compared religious (Christian and Muslim) children to the children of repulsive atheists and the results are alarming.
Quote:
Children from religious families are less kind and more punitive than those from non-religious households, according to a new study.
Academics from seven universities across the world studied Christian, Muslim and non-religious children to test the relationship between religion and morality.
They found that religious belief is a negative influence on children’s altruism.

Well, this relatively uninteresting but
reassuring. After all,
life is not about niceties but about Salvation! At this point I was certain that this study had been made from the delusional secular viewpoint of being "nice" to each other. We know very well that false Christians are always concentrating on the
comfortable, the
fluffy, the
cotton-candy-kind of relations that ultimately lead to Disaster, to the Furnace (Matthew 13:42)!
1 Timothy 5:20
Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.
Titus 1:13
This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
Titus 2:15
These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.
Our children know it is OK to scorn the unbelievers and laugh at them!
All this is well established and through adequate discipline we have apparently been able to pass this on to our children.
All is business as usual. All is well. We knew this and didn't need to be told this. So I thought.
I was wrong! The study goes on:
Quote:
The findings “robustly demonstrate that children from households identifying as either of the two major world religions (Christianity and Islam) were less altruistic than children from non-religious households”.
Older children, usually those with a longer exposure to religion, “exhibit[ed] the greatest negative relations”.
The study also found that “religiosity affects children’s punitive tendencies”. Children from religious households “frequently appear to be more judgmental of others’ actions”, it said.

So far, so good. Again,
very good feedback. Of course our children would know that the secular society does not punish criminals but grants them
luxurious care in state prisons.
God is not pleased, He demands
harsh punishment, as it is the only one that could lead sinning children to experience
His Love. Without punishment, no-one would follow God's commandments,
there would be no morality, everyone could do anything. The study acknowledges as much:
Quote:
At the same time, the report said that religious parents were more likely than others to consider their children to be “more empathetic and more sensitive to the plight of others”.

We know this very well.
Our children ARE the most sensitive. They love and care and want their peers to get into
Heaven through punishment. They have been told what will happen to them is they are disobedient:
Deuteronomy 20:20-21
And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son [is] stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; [he is] a glutton, and a drunkard. And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
Our children only want what is best for everybody:
to receive punishment and find God!
Job 19:29
Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
Everything seemed to be in order. Our children have been raised to rebuke, to mock the atheists peers into obedience and True Faith™.
True Christian™ Children KNOW that it is more important to follow Jesus than to be falsely polite!
Then, DISASTER!!
Quote:
Muslim children judged “interpersonal harm as more mean” than children from Christian families, with non-religious children the least judgmental. Muslim children demanded harsher punishment than those from Christian or non-religious homes.

Total failure.
MUSLIM CHILDREN UNDERSTAND GOD AND HIS COMMANDMENTS BETTER THAN OUR CHILDREN!! They are the ones to demand harsh but righteous punishments. The evil
pink and fluffy heresy of the false Christian has entered our midst! Somewhere, someone is seducing our children into false kindness, making them forget what God is all about!
Exodus 21:17
And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.
Time is of essence. This is why Muslims are now a majority in all of Europe. They know how to raise their children. We thought we knew. While this was a secular study, it must have been initiated by
Jesus to warn us. Let us take heed. Let us take this seriously.
Jesus in NOT pleased with us!
Yours in Christ,
