WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?

certainly not support a cesspool of debauchery. Surely you are not that biblically ignorant.

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?

So long as we operate through a limited human mind we have no way to tell whether life or death are preferable in a given situation, but one who walks with the Holy Spirit does not operate through dogmatic mental formulas. Jesus would respond separately in every case in ways that we could find totally surprising.

A problem with youngsters below 20yrs old is that their perception of risk is significantly less developed than adults which leads to many otherwise bright and valuable youngsters making stupid and sometimes fatal decisions.

While far from an advocate for a nanny state, sometimes a little help can save someones son or daughter that otherwise would be needlessly lost.

//And yes, let's bite the bullet and resist the ridicule, a return to a Christian upbringing//

Yeah, I'm not sure that will help. I'm pretty sure that Hillsong are all on the hard stuff, for a start. I mean, you'd have to be on pills to enjoy Christian rock, surely?

Nothing less than ten years in prison
And take every cent or property she owns from her
Brutal
Death is too

Jesus Christ was not a soft touch for wrong-doers. His message was forgiveness and redemption, as long people lived the right way - according to Christian teaching - and there are not too many people living that way now. The consequences of doing the wrong thing are as clear as man-made laws are: transgress, and there will be be penalties.

Too many people wrongly see Jesus Christ as some wet, socialist social worker.

runner correctly puts this misconception down to “biblical ignorance”. There is very much an 'or else' in the admonitions of Christianity. You don't have to follow the advice, but be prepared for the consequences if you don't.
