Reply #3: i didnt read it but i truly think, maybe... it might be the, we are all sinners.

they start preaching this to the children, from the beginning of understanding words. it is said often. drilled into the people. over and over and over and over. in cult like manner. at a certain point, our spirit, lite, subconscious, however you believe, have got to prove that we are all sinners. ergo, they set up traps in life to make this their reality.

my two kids went to a christian private school for a time. prek, they started learning bible quotes, and this was the first one. had no problem at all teaching to oldest son. my lesson for him, that none of us are perfect, and yet.... we love ourselves. we are all perfectly imperfect.

with my youngest son three years later, i am teaching from the we are all sinners card and i stop in mid sentence. look at this little devil child. totally change my tone of drilling for memorization to... lite and laughing and snarky .... look baby, they say you are a sinner. my beautiful little angle of perfection in all your lite. how precious you are. no sinner. i dont see a sinner.

why?

if he learns he is a sinner, then he is going to do wrong and then say.... hey, it says i am a sinner. and at 4 i did NOT want to feed him this crap, because of who he is. he would take it and run with it.

just a story.
