My Brother -
11-11-2006, 05:58 AM
My 16 year old brother is being corrupted by my parents, his school, and his friends!
For years my hippy liberal parents have been slowly polluting his mind with their "make your own choices" balony. His school teaches evilution, and not one of the science teachers ever mentions creationism or the Bible.
But now he is really hanging out with the wrong crowd! I was in his room while visiting my parents, and I found a wiccan book! Not only that, there were strange candles and pentacles and who knows what else around there. I could barely stand to be in such a den of sin. And there wasn't a single Bible in the house!
What can I do to make John a man, and not some limp wristed tree hugger? How do I make him realise the Truth of God, and turn him into a True Christian?

It's simple. You don't. Your parents are right. He can make his own choices in life. And besides: Deut. 5:16 "Honor thy father and thy mother."
Anyone can recite bible quotes.
"I do not go where the path leads. I instead create my own path ... and leave a snail trail."

I'm afraid that it may be too late. Does your brother have any savings? Is he worth something to your hippy parents? If so, see if you can make a love offering to Jesus.
Otherwise, the scriptures are quite clear on this point.
Exodus 22:18 -- Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)
