In the old days, people used to ask which came first, the chicken or the egg. Any sane person would answer, the chicken. There is a good reason why the sane person would answer the chicken.
The egg and the child could not come first because it would have no one to train it as it grew older. it could not learn self-defense skills, how to handle emotions, relationships, and so on without the older parent chicken to help guide the young babies.
The same goes for humans. If God had not created Adam and Eve first and taught them everything they needed to know, then it is highly unlikely that humans would have survived the first generation.
Evolutionists like to remove that important step and make life a ‘miracle’ that somehow survived against the odds. But God cared about his creation and made sure that the young animals and humans had a teacher ready to handle the problems their young pones faced.
This makes parents the first line of defense in combating and protecting against evil. Sadly, not every parent is on board with God’s protective plan. Some parents fail in their duties to keep the young on the straight and narrow path exchanging right and wrong for rights.
In doing so, they teach children that it is okay to do wrong and be wrong, enabling evil to destroy more humans than it should be allowed to do. Some parents even invade the domain of other parents and work hard to ruin the latter’s children because of their evil beliefs:
I am an advocate of the LGBTQ community because I believe all Americans should have equal justice and protection under the law. That’s it. I expect and demand that LGBTQ people have the same rights as I do. And when they don’t, I advocate for change.(BG website)
The misguided people who are a part of that quoted activity do not realize that those professing to be LGBT already have equal rights. They also ignore the fact that those members are demanding special rights.
Everyone has the same rights, they also have the same freedom of choice. to accept those rights or reject them and pursue special rights. Everyone has the right to marry, to have children, to work but there are rules to access those rights.
If one does not want to follow the rules, then they have no right to have children or get married. When they advocate for entrance into these institutions, they are not demanding equal rights but special rights.
If they do not want to follow the rules, then they should be banned from entering those institutions until they decide to correctly follow the rules. As we have seen over the years, the advocates for those who want special rights do not care about the institutions or what a parent wants.
They have trampled the standards of right and wrong, etc., in order to make special rights and those who want it seem normal, correct, and part of natural life. To stop this trend, it is the parents who are the first line of defense.
Instead of going to secular counselors, etc., when a child expresses unnatural desires, they need to take a godly stand. Secular counselors will only ruin what Christian parents want for their children and keep the children away from those treatments and actions that will save them from their unnatural desires.
Of course, the parents have to handle these problems correctly and one has to know what to do and employ that knowledge with a deft touch and with the aid of God. It is the parents and grandparents who have been charged with teaching their children and grandchildren the ways of God.
If they fail to do that and provide the right support to their children, then the children are as vulnerable to the wiles of evil just like the young parentless chickens would have been if they came first.
It is the responsibility of the parent to properly teach the standards of right and wrong, morality and immorality, as well as good and evil. Without this teaching, children are vulnerable to what comes their way.
Isolation is not protection but actual teaching. Parents can take the example of Jesus and how he taught his disciples as a guide to how to teach their children. Jesus did not isolate his disciples from the real world and what went on in it. He taught them how to handle those situations correctly.
That is what parents and grandparents should be doing instead of letting secular teachers or strangers raise their children. The television shows and movies are not replacements for parents or teachers.
Parents and grandparents should be teaching their children how to handle the content of those entertainment options. That instruction should be done with proper biblical influence. We know that AIG often laments about how Christian children lose their faith when attending colleges and universities but the solution lies with the parents and grandparents.
Proper biblical training protects those young people from secular professors who love to destroy faith in their students. Proper biblical training protects the faith and actions of children when they go out to spend time with their friends or hang out at school, the mall, or wherever.
There was a professor at Dallas Theological Seminary back in the 70s whose son asked if he could hang out with his unbelieving friends. The professor said it was okay as long as he was an influence on them and they were not an influence on him.
All of his friends became Christians later. Parents are the first line of defense for their children. With the right instruction, they can protect their children even when the parent is not on site to help out.
