We impart this to our young, and think it's cute, that they judge someone a Christian or not, by the length of a sleeve or the lack of a wedding ring. Or whether your watch as a leather or metal band.

Have you taken your meds today?

[Sister Alvear]

She is scheduled to preach for Sherri soon...

Isn´t it terrible to have this terrible UC here on AFF? Love you folks...

Wish she was more like me and preached against some of the things I preach against!

I glanced over this post really fast and thought you said "Sheri Moon" and thought "How does she know Rob Zombies wife??". Then saw what you really said a few seconds later.

(You don't need to know who Rob Zombies wife is.... but I suspect a few here besides me do. LOL)

Dear one if you really knew us you would know we are not judgmental at all...

I learned about mercy a long time ago...

I did NOT start this thread to bash Sis. Alvear's beautiful grandaughter I just posted what I thought was cute and funny from a child. Some of you folks have so much hate it is hard to contain it. It is sad to hate the womb that gave you birth.

A little one going around looking at Gods people and separating them by how they look, what they wear.

I agree with this. I realize she is just a child, but isn't she displaying a judgmental attitude?

Now, if she was pulling on their neckties and telling them that it is just a cloth necklace, it would be OK.

There's nothing wrong with teaching children what you believe, even if it ends up accidentally maligning another person. Such as if I tell my girls to dress modestly, because God wants us to be modest. Children will draw conclusions from that, such as, "If someone isn't modest, they aren't doing what God wants them to do."

Fine with me.

If a child's parents believe that jewelry is a sin, then they should teach the child that belief. Not only is it their obligation, it's their right as parents. If the child then sees someone wearing jewelry, and thinks they are sinning, that's a natural conclusion--and children are blunt. LOL!!! It doesn't mean the parents are wrong for teaching the child what they believe.

My children have been taught that it's a sin to fornicate and shack up before you're married. So if they meet a couple who is living together, they immediately assume they aren't Christians.

Again--fine with me.

You're really making a mountain out of a molehill. Jeff was in the grocery store with Jeffrey one day, when Jeffrey was about 3. A man was checking out, covered with tattoos, even on his bald head. Jeffrey pointed, and loudly told his Daddy, "Daddy! There's a BAD MAN!!!!"

Who knows how he made that connection, but he did. It was awkward for Jeff at the time, but funny to all of us later. *shrug* Kids say silly things. It doesn't mean their parents are teaching them to be judgmental or mean.

Sis. Alvear I apologize this was NOT my intention but I should have known this forum is filled with those 'who are haters of those who are good'(and a little child at that). Good grief.
