Thanks @nextgen622. You seem like a very rational and understanding person. Rules and boundaries are absolutely necessary. It is how we handle those who break the rules that shows who we are.

There are many people who try very hard to follow God's ways, yet are still lumped in with those who do not and in some instances suffer more than those who reject God's ways. This is not right. Infants who are still innocent are also suffering through no fault of their own. Generations of people should not pay for something done by others.

Love is not something that once earned cannot be revoked. Love is like a living thing. It requires constant feeding and nurturing. At least that is how I define love. Would you still love your parents if they brought you into a wonderful world and then deliberately abandoned you in the middle of the jungle when you were just 8 years old?

I'm good with waiting for the appropriate video to discuss this further. I'm a seeker of the truth and always open to compelling evidence.

Thanks for the opportunity to have this discussion.
