Re: Should negligent parents be punished by the law?

I’m okay in principle to having laws that punish negligent parents and protect children. But I would idealize them as having a pretty high bar for prosecution. The laws we have currently are prone to at least occasional abuse by over zealous prosecutors and DHS. But on the other hand, I’m not sure i...

Re: Were they Christians? John 15:13

“It isn’t works that save us. It is faith alone in Jesus Christ.”
