    DS> 1) P: What must we do to obtain forgiveness of sin??   
    DS>    C: First, we have to sin.   
      
    AA> That's pretty good. But it fails the knowledge test. Apparently   
    AA> we are all BORN into sin.  And.. no seemingly innocent child is   
    AA> devoid of sin very early in their life.   
      
     Romans 3:23 and Romans 3:10 prove that out. Besides, the child will   
   cry and scream, but when Momma and Daddy show up, he's happy again. It   
   may be separation anxiety (pets, especially puppies, get that), but it's   
   as if he's lying already.   
      
    DS> 2) P: Do you ask the blessing before you eat??   
    DS>    C: We don't have to...our Mom is such a good cook!!   
      
    AA> Ha... pretty good too. But isn't the conventional term "grace"?   
      
     Yep. There was a story of this Christian missionary in south America,   
   eating the same food as the tribal members. Yet, while they were dealing   
   with numerous digestive tract issues, the missionary was not. Finally,   
   the chief asked what the deal was, and the missionary said "He thanked   
   The Good Lord for what He so graciously provided...and for Him to bless   
   the food, and protect him from illness". As a result, he got to witness   
   to them, and share the Gospel.   
      
     In the play "You Can't Take It With You", by George Kaufman and Moss   
   Hart (I played in that in high school 45 years ago), Grandpa Vanderhof   
   starts the blessing to The Good Lord with "Well, Sir...here we are   
   again"...and finishes up with "As far as for the rest of things, we'll   
   leave it up to you. Thank You". In another movie, the blessing was   
   short and sweet..."Much Obliged".   
      
    DS> 3) P: Does anyone know what a resurrection is??   
    DS>    C: If you have one for more than 4 hours, you have call an ambulance!!   
      
    AA>       
      
     The kids hear this all the time, and they think it's OK. But, as the   
   saying goes..."Out of the mouths of babes..." .
