Protestant Christian Locks Son in Box for 2 Months!
This is actually quite sad to hear about this. However, once again why are we not shocked? We are not shocked because Christians and in particular Protestants are in the news because of their rejection of central leadership that can guide them in their interpretation of the Bible.
Because Protestant Christianity is the ultimate Pandora's box. The thousands of Protestant Christian sects are free to use individual hermeneutic, interpretation, and understanding of the scriptures to understand the Bible.
You see because they believe that the Holy Spirit will guide them into all truth (not necessarily the Bible). To some degree even though the Protestants claim to rely upon the Bible the problem is in the fact that many things in the Bible are nuanced or subject to a great range and deal of interpretation.
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. (John 16:13)
So as we can see if you believe that you have the Holy Spirit (and there is no way to really tell) and Christians such as John MacArthur have failed to give legitimate litmus test. So Protestant Christianity contains with in it the seeds of it's own destruction.
This of course is the sovereign will of the Creator. They have rejected truth and the Creator has let them to wallow in their own darkness. The thousands of Protestant sects will eventually wear one another down.
So this brings us to this particular Mennonite Christian sect which goes back to the Protestant Reformation.
So here you have it a man who no doubt believes that the world outside has no business to tell him what he believes would be a Biblical and justified punishment for his 21 year old son goes and locks his son in a box for 2 months!
Of course the Bible says it's o.k to beat your children (male and female) with a rod!
The lord of that servant will come in a day when he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him in sunder, and will appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. And that servant, which knew his lord's will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. (Luke 12:46-48)
If thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast them from thee: it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire (Matthew 18:8-9) Of course our Christian friends who under the influence of more benign liberal influence will say this means spiritual hands and spiritual feet!
Sure I bet Jesus is saying cut off one of your spiritual feet and one of your spiritual hands, because it's better to go through life with one spiritual hand or one spiritual foot than two! When will these people come clean!
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die. Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell. (Proverbs 23:13-14) Ever heard the saying, "I'll beat the hell out of you" So now you got it!
He that spareth his rod hates his son: but he that loves him chasteneth him betimes.(Proverbs 13:24)
So here you have yet another Protestant Christian (Holy Spirit filled nonetheless) dishing out extreme punishment to his son!
Johan Knelsen, 21, was forced to live in the homemade wooden prison at his home in Santa Cruz, eastern Bolivia, as punishment for stealing three chickens.
Speaking from inside the wooden cage, Johan showed police the bottles he used to collect his urine during almost two months of incarceration.
David Knelsen, his Canadian father, told authorities that his son was mentally ill and had stolen livestock, while local media reported that the young man was punished for using a phone.
The family are Christian Mennonites, a denomination that follows a very strict interpretion the Bible and shuns the use of technology.
There are dozens of close-knit Mennonite communities in the lowlands of eastern Bolivia.
