What would I really be fearing anyway? Won't God care for his children, providing a way for them, even if it means giving the life of his most beloved son as a ransom?
I got scared because Nick's over confidence is troubling ofcourse, but everyone gets somethings wrong, what matters is if he is trying to get them right. What disturbed me is when he tries to pass off his wrong ideas to the innocent minds of his children. They accept magical flying ponies, so believing him comes natural.
I thought last night was merely another flub up that needed to be corrected before a false idea crept in. Itvseemed of no lasting consequence until now. A warning that I wondered how it could be made public and not be "worked around" I am referring to the scripture that explains a method of discerning if a messenger comes from God. This must have been included for a reason, and the fact that even my husband thought he understood, though he got it wrong, was troubling. How much wiser and cunning is Satan?
I do not like him passing false ideas off as truth to the children, I type while I think of things I have said regarding Santa Claus, for instance. It solidifies to me how important it is to get them to the temple where they can learn a greater understanding of things, perhaps at the feet of God himself. Either way, there is learned the true ways to discern things where Satan cannot ever know. It is like a huge blind spot and it is actually good that my husband thinks he understands things...it honestly, does no harm, infact it reminds me of the disgust I have for those who deem themselves so mighty.
On a lesser note. It does bother me how much the children idolize and imitate Nick's behavior, like his yelling at people who he allows to offend him while driving. The kids play out such scenarios whwver they dislike another’s behavior instead of tolerance.
