Bro. Mark:

Something you ate must not have agreed with you when you were writing this.
The state has used believers' children throughout the centuries to pressure
them to compromise.

>From threats of jail terms because they would not offer incense to Caesar,
to actual torture and violation of "heretics'" wives and children because
they would not recant, Satan has always used those most dear to a saint as
a temptation to turn from God's will.

There are as many references to corporal discipline in the word as the
Jewellry references in our last discussion. Discipline is no less important
in the mind of God than apparel.

BTW, you might even get Gotti saved sitting there in the cell next to him,
and maybe he'll give his money for missions :-)

Just a thought,
