Attention prayer warriors! Our brothers and sisters in CHRIST need our help!
One teenager is dead, and his brother is in critical condition, after their church applied whole Biblical discipline to them.
The practice of confessing sins to one another and the practice of beating children are both Biblically sound and only a secular totalitarian thug would arrest a family for practicing their religious freedoms.
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. - James 5:16
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. - Proverbs 22:15
Christian values are the cornerstone of American society, and as any good Christian who has studied the Bible can tell you, beating a child about the stomach is a wholly acceptable form of discipline.
The blueness of a wound cleanseth away evil: so do stripes the inward parts of the belly. - Proverbs 20:30
Really, I'd say the punishment was very light, considering the Bible permits parents to outright stone their children to death for being rebellious.
And here is where the insidious agenda of the secular agenda comes into view. The state plans to make nearly half a million dollars on the bails for which they're now holding these innocent Christians.
It is not enough for Big Secularism to take away our rights and freedoms as Christians, but they hold us for ransom now, too.
Here is the reason:
One teenager is dead, and his brother is in critical condition, after their church applied whole Biblical discipline to them.
New Hartford Police Chief Michael Inserra told reporters that following a church service on Sunday night, 19-year-old Lucas Leonard and his brother, 17-year-old Christopher Leonard, were forced to sit through what parishioners called a “counseling session” that turned violent. For hours, the teens were physically punished “in hopes that each would confess to prior sins and ask for forgiveness,” Inserra said.

Lucas Leonard was pronounced dead Monday at a nearby hospital, after sustaining blows to his abdomen, back, genitals and thighs, police said. Inserra said autopsy results showed contusions to his torso and extremities.

Their parents, Bruce Leonard, 65, and Deborah Leonard, 59, from Clayville, were charged with first-degree manslaughter, Inserra said at a news conference Wednesday. The two are being held in Oneida County Jail on $100,000 bail. Four fellow church members were charged with second-degree assault and are being held on $50,000 bail.

Police have not given a possible motive for the attack.
