We have been known to mix up our children's names on occasion, I'm sure we're not the only ones lol.
When we got our dog he was a puppy, and we also had a toddler at the time. They both got into the same sort of mischief (although I will say that none of my toddlers have ever stolen a whole cooked chicken off the bench before!), and so Samuel would often be telling them off for similar things and would constantly get their names mixed up. It's very funny to see him telling off a child using the dog's name lol!

Lol I do it all the time because my terrier likes to act up, so when the kids do something wrong I call them my dogs name by mistake. It could be a mistake but also wishful thinking on my part, haven't quite figured it out yet.

Strongly disagree. They might be less of a handful but you reap way less rewards now and in the next life for raising a dog right.

Problem is you can raise people right but sadly the outcome isn't always good.

Meh... God says children are a blessing... I can’t think of anywhere where He said that about dogs.

It's under the common sense chapter in the Bible. Seriously though, I was only slightly, possibly half kidding? maybe...

I know you love dogs, but dang! I sure hope you are kidding! As a childless man (who owns a little dog that I like very much), given the opportunity, I would trade that dog for a son or daughter in an instant!

I bet even @Revoltingman (who has like fifteen kids) would trade his pups in a heartbeat for more sons and daughters!

Speaking of dogs, mine is pretty awesome. He is sleepy, lazy, quiet, and snuggly, which is surprising considering he is a little tiny dachshund terrier mix. That's just the kind of dog I like!

I was just bantering with Steve, honestly I love them equally as children, which is still not what most people want to hear but that is the truth. Some people find it offensive but I don't see it that way, there are no limits on love for me- be it an animal, an adult or a child, it's just how I am.

I can empathize with not having children so I understand why you'd feel that way, though I was blessed to help raise my niece and nephew, I wouldn't trade them for more dogs but I also wouldn't trade my dogs for anything else in the world. I think they all have a special place. The memories i've made with my niece and nephew helping me rehabilitate dogs are some of the most precious ones because it involved all of the loves of my life, both children and dogs. What better blessing to give a child than a dog, they absolutely adore dogs and vice versa. I wouldn't trade anything for anything else, I think they each have their place and I'm grateful for both.

I love dachshunds! Always wanted one, that is surprising because terriers were created by the devil, they are so bad sometimes lol I have two, they keep me active and they are full of personality, never a dull moment.

We had a little Jagd terrier we dearly loved. Though some describe the breed as being like a Jack Russell on steroids we found her to be calm and easy indoors. In the house she would just sleep on a chair or couch and in the craziest positions too! In the field she was a fearless and aggressive hunter.
She followed our big hound out one night and probably got killed by something. Still miss Tarby.

The big advantage of dogs over children is that if they repeatedly misbehave too badly you can just shoot them and you don't go to jail.

When our two pit bulls decided to break in and kill our livestock our children got a serious lesson in real responsibility. We didn't try and rehome the country dogs that commited capital crimes. Out of love and respect for other keepers of livestock hubby promptly executed them....like before the goat's blood could dry on them.
We buried them in the massive compost pile with the goat's they killed, and told our boys that wanted to call them good dogs, that they were....until they weren't.

Makes me sad, I rehabilitate/advocate for "aggressive" dogs. There are rarely dogs that can't learn or adapt to situations when given the right training, environment, stability and or boundaries. My neighbor's had a dog fighting ring and connections to the Sheriff here many years ago. They had a huge Pitbull they used as a bait dog, one day he had enough and fought back too hard, he killed my neighbor's prize Pitbull and then turned on my neighbor. I heard the commotion and ran outside, I saw him attacking my neighbor, we got him off my neighbor, I grabbed the dog to bring him to my house when I picked him up, he turned on me and started biting my arms and hands but I brought him to my house regardless because I knew they'd kill him. He bit me so many times that I had to go to the emergency room and even have some long term nerve damage.

Everyone told me to shoot this dog, that he was too damaged, that he "had tasted blood" so he'd never be the same etc. I couldn't do that, he'd been through too much not to be given a chance to change. It took me many years of training, muzzling, socialization, love and discipline to help him change. To this day he's never bit another human, he loves my niece and nephew and other kids. He has a doggy wife at my parents home now. He even lives in my home with his bunny sister, he hates her but he knows that attacking/biting is not ok now and he respects that it's my house.

Pitbulls breeds can be hyper focused on children, livestock and prey animals. This can be a really good thing or a really bad thing, depending on their temperament. They're doing nothing wrong by being dogs, they just need guidance on how to focus that energy sometimes.

He's the reason I started volunteering in animal rescue and now do courtroom monitoring and investigations on Animal Cruelty. I've seen the worst of the worst, what humans can do to dogs and how much these dogs can change despite those circumstances. I guess that's part of the reason why I love them like children, they're innocent, they are often mistreated and they can't speak for themselves. I have a soft spot for anyone or anything in that position.

From what I remember "dog" is a derogatory term for Gentiles..

I disagree. Proberbs 22:6 says "Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it."

The problem is that most people even trying to train their child well dont know how. The only way to train them right is to teach them and show them how to follow the Lord. But most people dont even know how to do that because they dont know how to follow Him themselves.

I definitely think parents should do the best they can to provide that foundation but once children become adults they do not always follow those teachings. I know some amazing people who raised their children well and who follow the Lord themselves, better people than I could ever be but sadly when their children became adults they made their own terrible decisions/mistakes. This can happen to anyone, it can happen to you, I pray it doesn't because that sort of heart ache is unimaginable. I also know people who grew up in awful situations and manage to follow the Lord and be good people without absolutely any influence from their own parents.

No. I believe His Word is true.

Duet. 12:28 says “Observe and obey all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you and your children after you forever, when you do what is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God."

The verse says that if you train up your child in the way that he SHOULD go he will not depart from it. So if you didn't train him in the way he SHOULD go then he might depart from what you taught him.

Either parents lead and teach their children to sin which leads to death or in the way that they should go which is to obey God which leads to everlasting life. The question is how do you know how to obey Him?

I put my trust in His Word.

So i'm understanding correctly, you're saying that if a child grows up and makes bad decisions, the parents didn't do something properly based on that particular verse?

If so that seems like a very heavy burden to carry for both the parents and the children with very strong penalties for mistakes, which we're all prone to making.

 

[Asforme&myhouse]

I’m confused, is this your interpretation of Deuteronomy 12:28 or is it a paraphrase of a verse from Proverbs?

Edit: oops disregard, somehow I missed your earlier post

I don't think that all individual Proverbs are necessarily meant to be absolute promises from God. I think they are more along the lines of general wisdom principles from God.

I may be wrong

That was risky to the point of irresponsibility. One of my sons is named for a boy who was torn apart by pit bulls he’d known since they were puppies.

His grandfather had to identify the body. We were in the VFW together and I knew his war record. It was as impressive as anyone’s, more so than most’s. But he was shattered by that sight. The boy was unrecognizable. He drank himself to death pretty quick after that and no one blamed him.

The instant dogs are even a fraction anthropomorphized there’s a problem. They’re not people. They shouldn’t be treated like people. It’s not healthy for dog or person. You got very lucky with that pit.
