If a child doesn't fear mom and dad, then they won't fear the law nor God and will likely spend eternity in Hell as we read in Proverbs 23:14...
Proverbs 23:14: “Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.”
Salvation begins with the fear of the Lord. If a person doesn't believe in a literal God, nor a literal Hell that burns with fire, nor a literal coming judgment day... then they're not going to come to Jesus Christ to be forgiven of their sins via the cross upon which Christ died. The Gospel teaches that the Lord Jesus Christ died, was buried and rose up three days later. If you accept that by faith as payment for your sins, then you are saved eternally.
Increasingly, as America turns her back on God, more people are coming to religion and NOT Christianity. We are living in the most undisciplined, spoiled, bratty generation in the history of humanity. Brats!
Walt Disney teaches children and teens to sass their parents, mouth back and have an attitude. Back in the old times you'd be wondering what hit you if you talked to your parents like that. You'd get slapped up side the head. I'm not saying that's the right way, but that's the way it was back then. The fear of God begins with the fear of parents. Nowadays parents are wrongfully prosecuted for disciplining their children.
I'm not talking about a drunken father who beats his kids in rage, God forbid. I'm talking about kids behaving because they know that if they don't, dad's belt is coming off and you're in for a whipping!!! That fear in the old days made America strong, when Americans obeyed the Bible's command to spare not the rod upon a child. Today kids are turning into Godless homosexuals (and they're ALL Godless, every last one). Homosexuality is a Godless practice, rooted in lust and rebellion against God. To the same degree that Americans accept homosexuals, to that same degree a fearful Police State is going up around us. If men won't fear God, then they will fear men.
Would to God that the Bible were brought back into our schools to drive the MADNESS from children's hearts, so that they won't continue growing up to become INSANE adults!
