John MacArthur on shunning one's sinful kids

[Haruo]

Wikipedia says MacArthur is a Baptist but doesn't seem to document it. Is he? What sort? Maybe Wichita Synod?

[Mrs Haruo]

Oh yeah. Great way to witness. Wonderful way to keep your confused, rebelling, (aren't kids supposed to question the parent's teachings in SOME way when they are teens? I thought that was part of growing up and becoming a person with your own thoughts and not just parroting like a little sheep whatever you have been told) youngster coming back home and to church with you. Kick them out of the house. Send them out into the streets where they will be swept up by the first pimp that offers them something shiny and a warm bed.

Isn't it ironic that after statements like this, the folks who made them are put to the test by life. The results are often different from those who merely speak to theoretical situations.

I find the idea that you treat the "child" differently depending on their status as a Christian. I find that particularly odd. In one case you actively shun the child in the other you drive them away.
