They're their creation, their rules.Perhaps you misunderstand the term as it is used in the bible. To create is to make something out of nothing. to re-create or reproduce (what parents do) is to take what has been already created and make a version of what has already been created.
So, in short to answer your question: No. Parents do not have free reign because by the standard of God they have not created anything, but just reproduced a version of what has been already created by God. 'We' are simply care takers of our children. Nothing more.
Quote:By isn't sin just what your god doesn't want?God has prepared or made plans to process and attone for sin. Sin is Choice so to say God never wanted sin is not true. Sin allows us to Chose whether or not we want to be with God, but it also disqualifies us for deserving to be with God. That is why Jesus Died for our sin.
Quote:So why does he to show what it is?So we can understand why we need to seek attonement.
Quote: Unless he's threatening us. God: "Do what I say to you, or you'll become ugly and physically impaired like those disgusting creeps"No, God is saying because of your sin you are "ugly and disgusting like those creeps, Now here is a way for you to Heal yourself."
