I was raised by a servant to be a servant and these people will never be understood by me. I am very proud to note that all my close friends are and were servants, so named slaves in the scriptures.

The Bible commands us to do a good job, as loyal servants. We work for the Lord, who gets the glory.

The postal worker should have done a good job.

We don't even know if the postal worker was saved or not. Now I know that my close friend Russell who had mail in his Oldsmobile was not saved. Now the guy in the article I don't know. But people who are not saved you can't expect them to follow Biblical principles.

Train up a child in the way he should go,
And when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6 NKJV

That's what happens when the nations children are trained up by unbelievers. Each subsequent generation moves further and further from the Lord.

so we should have Christian bubbles. tv will influence ya to, Christian only jobs. atheist cant serve in government. nor teach at all. uhm where is that in the bible that says if I train my child he will be saved? they can reject the cross and die and be lost. teaching doesn't make on saved. it tells you to get saved but you can reject that.

trust me. any Christian child, that joins the army and isn't strong in the lord or really ready, will see and be heavily influence to sin.

 

[Michael74]

Train them while they are children. When they are full grown men, they can interact with unbelievers then. Their training will serve them well.

uhm so you will isolate them from lost family? lost friends? no tv? no news. that is the problem. you can only do what you can. that is why I asked you if you ever had kids. I know kids raised by parents that loved the lord and taught them better and all of them either used pot as teens, do still, had unplanned pregnancies. is it the parents fault? without further information about that I will not say. but I don't think they are based on what I know. and I know them well.

Out of curiosity, how do you interpret the above verse? Do you believe it?

I guess the workday goes much faster if you skip a lot of those mailboxes.

Yeah and they put Russell in his own neighborhood which was mine also at that time. And people would invite him in for drinks constantly

Why would that postman throw his career away over mail, really it is sad.

Yes, it is and it is also sad that so many people cannot see it.

Not saying the guy was saved, but God's big thing is being grateful for what you do have. What you have is kept by the value you put on it. That is spiritual law. Even what you do have will be taken, so we don't take job's for granted, family, our pastor. Things are so brief here, and we need to value the things we do have.

If have seen it not work and also work.those kids I mentioned two died saved but lived like hellions and had drug abuse issue and jailed, one was dying she confess christ in final seconds.I see Jesus coming for me.the other died in a fire. I have heard but not as detailed as the other he believed but he was known to smoke pot and use.it makes it more likely you won't be lost but it's not a guarantee.I knew both the parents.that isn't the only story I can share.when we fall into sin and arent willing to repent,we play with hell.tommorow isn't promised.I know of alot of others.that do live holy as I can tell and have broken hearts for their sons,and daughters.tommorow is promised to no one.the famous ones I know of Katy perry,raised in church and now supports gay rights,fornicator.I have fallen into that sin.you will deny god sooner or later.I had to make the choice when I was confronted with that sin.

How can you know for sure whether any of those people properly trained their children up in the way they should go? Many things may have gone on behind the scenes that you knew nothing of. Did those parents really obey the Lord's direction every hour of the day, or did they sometimes try to substitute human reasoning?

I base my theology on the Bible. If the Bible says it, I believe it, and that's that.

For I know abraham, he will teach my statues and ordinance to his children. Written centuries and told even before that too the hebrews children.yet Ishmael circumcised had to believe at first.if you didn't believe God would have your pens cut ? Yet he was rejected. Abraham wasn't perfect, yet well you get what I'm saying.no man is.we all carry habits that most in the church dont know unless revealed.are you perfect? Meaning you always listen to god.so if God who told two of his kids don't sin,whose fault was it for their rebellion?
