Great stuff! Why am I only now reading this? I think a strong stand is very appropriate, especially since most denominations have taken such a weak approach to the issue. When it gets down to it, protecting our children is not just a spiritual issue, its a legal issue as well. The church has been weak on this and some denominations are just now seeing this. You are welcome to guest blog at my site anytime, Daisy!

David, I was going for a little tongue in cheek. Yeah, he wrapped his truth in a brick and tossed it. But like I said, his biblical viewpoint matches mine pre-fall. I still believe my viewpoint now is biblical, just that I step back a little to see the trees.

David, You have seen the crux of the issue I think. I agree with you friend. But don't be too hard on our friend Andrew. He has a lot of energy and love for God. Reminds me of me back in the day. Great insights by everyone. Everyone is welcome to their opinion.

Andrew, Thank you for stopping by. I always appreciate a reasoned response. You raise good points. Take care and God bless. Ray

Hey Steve, Thanks for the comment. That's a great point about ego. I suppose there comes a point too where someone just invests so much that they can't give it up or it is hard to alter their world view. For that matter, I guess that's true of most of us. Good to hear from a fellow Arkansan.
