New set of Commandments

My sister had shingles in the early part of last year, and the sight in one of her eyes is still very dodgy! It looks as if it might be permanently impaired

Doubt there is much of an issue with using shocking images or similsr methods in order to ensure people understand facts about the risks they need to make decisions on.

However this is different to raising the fear level in order to push people to choose one way or the otherlon political issues.. as we have been seeing on EU membership, responses to immigation and so on. Or even intimidation or socisl disapproval to force people to vacinate "for the common good" rather than their own, or not to vacinate for political/religious reasons.

Looking at some of the replies in this thread I can see why some humans abandon their children and partners.
It is because they have no natural empathy and ability to love someone and understand what love really is.

Agape love is a love not earned and freely given. Whether our life partner or our children. A natural love which we nurture and we don't require telling to do. But for some it appears they think their children have to earn the love from their parent. God is our parent he created us. He created all the good things we have.


It is stupid and ignorant to think that a person cannot love God naturally when everything we have he has given us, even our earthly parents and our own children.

I suppose awkward children who rebel and go there own way cannot relate to the harm or hurt they do unto others.
Why should it be any different on this thread for adult children still doing it.

Boundaries and fear.

We warn our children of dangers the reality of life. We teach them how and where to cross a road.
We set boundaries and sometimes they carry a fear, a fear of what can happen if they cross those boundaries.
We do not create the things to be afraid about. Roads are useful and transport necessary. Not evil of themselves but deadly if people drink drive and do not obey light systems etc.

So whilst we can try and drive perfectly there are many reasons accidents can occur.

God teaches us to fear the things that will be and those that can be now without him.
He tells us the truth of that which is and that which will be.

No threat, a warning.... we are not scaremongering when we warn our children about real dangers and neither is God.
But we can be two-faced and double standards. By saying our way as parents is because we care but not allow God the same understanding and reality.

At the end of the day is deliberate misrepresentation about of God for the ignorant selfish purpose of humans who cannot bear to admit that they believe they care more for their Children than God cares for his.
