[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Thank you for your compassion. It really upset me to see my child hurting.

I’m ok with people having their beliefs. All I want is for them to be ok with mine. Children are sponges and repeat what they hear. I’d love for them to hear a message of kindness, not of intolerance, no matter the belief system.[/quote]

Agree with the prior poster that the world will tell us that it is an act of “kindness” to say nothing as a sign of respect.
But GOD tells us that the ultimate act of Godly kindness is to share the news of the Gospel so that whomever hears and receives it will have everlasting life and be saved.

For me and for many, it’s hard to go against the conventional secular wisdom that kindness = MYOB, but The Bible is pretty clear that Satan wants us to MYOB and not bring any more followers to Christ.[/quote]

What if Satan has tricked YOU, and this is the opposite of what God wants?[/quote]

Satan is always always attempting to trick believers so in theory this is possible—and in practice, depending on the approach, it can definitely backfire in the way that it HELPS Satan (which it sounds like it probably will/has in OP’s case and for others who are in OPs position)….so like another poster said, a lot depends on the approach because you can easily end up running people off by what is said rather than encouraging people toward discipleship.
Either way, I rely on scripture and prayer to guide and on repentance and grace when I misstep—which is daily, just like everyone else who are sinners. And I encourage everyone else to do the same.[/quote]
