Re: Are you Suggesting Works Salvation?
Forgive the second post to the same topic, but I've had another thought about this.
There is something that stood out as I thought on this. You are claiming that if you do these things you are going to Hell. I don't buy into that.
A man does not do something to go to Hell, per se. Yes, the wages of sin is death, however, the reason WHY we sin is because we are fallen men! Our natures are bent to sin. The sin nature is like a disease...
A disease, in a lot of cases, leads to death. However, you do not SEE the cause of the disease directly. AIDS for instance is the advanced progression of the Human Immunodeficiency Virus or HIV. You cannot see a virus under the microscope, not normally, instead HIV tests test against the body's response to the virus. You may never know a person is HIV positive by looking at them unless the disease advances to the point of full blown AIDS. At that point you'll start to see open sores form, discoloration of the skin, etc...
The sin nature of man is like HIV in that as it progresses, the body grows weaker in resisting it, and other diseases. Most people may not know they have it until it's too late. Sin leads to death, or in this case, eternal separation or eternal quarantine from God. Hell is the holding pen for those who are diseased with sin, like the leper colonies of old. The irony is, that God Himself provided the cure for the disease, yet man has this ingrained denial that he has any such disease! Oddly, homosexuals for instance refuse to be tested for HIV infection or AIDS, they either deny that they might be infected, or just as bizarrely, they embrace getting infected as if it's something to be proud of!
Similarly, there are two types of lost men, those who deny that they might be lost, they think they are "a good person" as they haven't committed any major sins that they know of; or there are those who flaunt being lost and embrace it and don't care!
Salvation though, the cure, is something that is received as an act of FAITH, first and foremost! It is not something you earn, and it is not something you can lose! You are not going to Hell because you watched the Disney channel, although doing so may open your children to the world's influence; a person is going to Hell because they have the sin disease in their heart, that can ONLY be cleansed through the shed blood of Jesus Christ!
So, although I may agree that the Disney channel may not be as innocent as it might seem to the world, it can also be used as an instruction tool to your kids about what you should NOT do in relationships and such.
Back in the day, when you wanted to control small pox outbreaks amongst the population, often times people, or children were exposed to the small pox under controlled conditions so that their bodies built up an immunity to its affects or build up an immunity to the disease for life. When you completely cut off contact with all people, for fear of disease or what have you, you actually make yourself MORE susceptible to getting sick.
I am not saying to expose them to porn or even to national pornographic, but if you shelter them absolutely and completely from the world, you do risk them being open to the temptations when they are exposed.
Limited exposure to the damaging affects of the skin will tan the skin and help protect the skin further. A lot of exposure when the skin is light and has gone a long period without sun exposure is more likely to burn...

Why do you go to hell: Disney is the ultimate evil. Why? Because it is smartly dressed up as innocent entertainment for innocent children while in reality it is run by Satan himself! It teaches our children about sex before marriage and dressing like sluts. Or, in case of Donald Duck, even to just run around naked! Not convinced yet? Did you know Steve Jobs is on the board of directors of Disney!
How to avoid: To protect your children from the ultimate evil that is Disney destroy your television set. Destroy all Disney related toys (to be on the safe side just destroy all toys) and introduce your children to the only reliably form of entertainment: studying the KJV1611 Holy Bible!
