GOd forbid someone ever threaten your family and you brush it off as not being important. I think God will hold you personally responsible if you allow someone to harm your family because you don't believe that protecting them is your highest calling as a husband and father.
Sister, no one here has said anything about not protecting their family. No one! The question at hand is how that is to be done and what are the limits.
Also, do you really think a man's HIGHEST call is to PROTECT his family? Is THAt what the BOOK says?
Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
Luke 14:26If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.

Pentecost is in dire straits. I can't believe that some of these people are serious.

A man that doesn't take care of his family is worse than an infidel. That's Bible too.

Evang Benincasa,
Thank you for taking your faith-filled stand! Jesus said His children would be known for the LOVE they show one for another. Thank you for standing for that undying love!

No problem here, I just don't have any siblings that are still robbers, murderers, or rapists.

No, concerning the subject at hand, the Bible does NOT say that. Please show where this is found in the Bible.

Hey did you see that? Now for pointing out they only allow this discussion to take place using the NT I am suddenly not interested in a biblical adult talk...

__________________ Let it be understood that Apostolic Friends Forum is an Apostolic Forum.
Apostolic is defined on AFF as:
There is One God. This one God reveals Himself distinctly as Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
The Son is God himself in a human form or "God manifested in the flesh" (1Tim 3:16)
Every sinner must repent of their sins.
That Jesus name baptism is the only biblical mode of water baptism.
That the Holy Ghost is for today and is received by faith with the initial evidence of speaking in tongues.
The saint will go on to strive to live a holy life, pleasing to God.
Please show where this is found in the Bible.
