Which of these scriptures is more important for your children to read and learn?

Question

Genesis 38:9, Judges 11: 38-39, Numbers 31: 17-18, 2Kings 2: 22-23, Song of Solomon 2: 3, Ezekiel 23: 29, Mathew 2:3

Answer 1

I am a catholic, and I say absolutely none of the above, I do not believe anyone including parents have the right to brainwash our children with religious scripture that is so questionable today.

Answer 2

Actually my first choice was to teach my daughter Genesis 1:1. Followed by John 3:16 and John 1:1. My personal favorite is Proverbs 26:4-5 (which I am violating at the moment)

As I asked earlier is there a website www.dumbYAR&Squestions.com somewhere. Cuz I just can’t believe people think this crap up by themselves.

Answer 3

In all, all verses are important for your children to eventually learn. Depending on the age, different verses should be introduced at different times. To really get a good answer would be to talk to a minister, or any preacher. Genesis 38:9 is a good one, when talking about sinning; but I do believe there are better verses for that. I do not like Numbers 31, at a young age, it is scary; but as they get older (teen) you could explain the purity until marriage. Personally, I absolutely love the chapter of Matthew. I just started reading the new testament, but it is amazing to me. It really opened my eyes to how to live for our Lord. A great great bible for pre-teens and teens is Revolve2 (girls) or Refuel (boys) Thomas Nelson. www.thomasnelson.com My sunday school teacher passed one out to everyone, and they can be about 16$, but she believed it was worth it, and I believe that too.

So I hope i helped you out somewhat. Like I said, you can consult someone of higher knowledge.
Good Luck with your children!!

Answer 4

Psalm 23
John 3:16-17
1 Corinthians 13

Answer 5

All of the above, starting with the first chapter of Genesis!
Both or one of the parent's should sit down with the child and read the Bible all the way thru at some point in your child's life!
To pick and choose scripture, taking it out of context, to scare a child is discusting, and would be a good way to scare a child from wanting to hear "GOD'S WORD"...
It is apparent that this has happened to you, so before you try to influence any child, You need to get your facts straight and know the entire text...
There are Bible Story books for kids that will introduce Jesus, GOD's ONLY SON to you and your child...
I wish you well, and if your intention is to harm a child YOU had better read this scripture first!
Mark 9.42 states: But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.
WISE-UP, WISE-GUY!

Answer 9

How about these instead.

Answer 10

It's good to start young, reading the bible so you understand more and not get so caught up with the worldly desires that the bible talks about, OT history is for our learning and our example of what not to do with our life it doesn't mean that were suppose to follow OT laws, that 's just how God deals with the people of that time.
