Brief Summary on Rebuttal

             How much is too much when it comes to protecting your kids from Sexual Predators. Whether it’s through the phone, or the web, technology has become a major source of communication for predators to interact with children. Therefore we must take extra precaution when dealing with kids who are constantly open to this technology. There are some “parents” like Lenore Skenazy that think that if parents try to prevent every possible danger in a child’s life, then that child never get a chance to grow up. She also believes that if we don’t give our kids freedom then we are taking away any sense of self-confidence or pride in them. I’m in total disagreement with her, I think that letting your kids do as they please is not a sign good parenting skills. Parents need to become more involve in a child life, like educating them about the dangers of online predators, and the dangers of giving their number away to  strangers. In 2009 the Online Victimization of Youth reported that %8 of the youth in their survey have actually met with someone met online. With this alarming number how can one not be worried about our children’s safety. Lenore Skenazy is the same women that lets her 9 year old child ride the subway alone, therefore I wouldn’t find any credibility in her opinion.

KJV or NIV? ~ (Extra Credit)

^"Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite"... Huh?? That’s the first thing I thought when I read this verse. Talk about being confused, the more I tried to switch form a Spanish Bible to an English one the more I became to see how hard it was to understand the English interpretation of it. I attend a Spanish church, but on the Fridays its English service so I decided to buy myself an English bible I came across 2 but deciding lead me to a research. Will it be KJV (King James Version) or NIV (New International Version)? I once thought that the only difference between both of them was that one (the NIV) was a newer version of the original KJV. But I was extremely wrong, as I did my research I began to see the many defects that the NIV version had There are literally 40 whole verses deleted, and 300 verses that have been changed leading to 6 thousand changes in this version alone. I was completely shock to hear this although NIV provides readers an easier way to read the bible, it has shown to bring false doctrine. I would recommend some to purchase the New King James Version to help those who find the original version too hard to read. As the last chapter of the Bible says in Revelation 22 verse 18 and 19…. well just look at it for yourself and you’ll see!!!
