Yes, children's behavior needs correcting. But it is decidedly harmful to teach them, in addition to normal correction, that the reason they are like this is that they are born tainted sinners. That addition make all the difference.
I do appreciate you trying to make peace, CL, but teaching children they are born evil and the only thing that can erase that evil is belief in Jesus, (NOT their own behavior or other choices), is vile to me.
I've sadly had dealings with groups such as The Good New Club.
Who is teaching a two year old that they a born tainted sinners? You are blowing this way out of proportion!
Now you are pivoting to the term "evil" to make your objection appear stronger. Evil is a moral term and we have already established that a young child is not morally responsible. The point has always been that we are born knowing how to be selfish, intolerant, harmful, etc. and need to be taught these things are wrong.
