Could you say that again using the words in the right order.

RB, the website says that "lack of consequences" is one of the five leading causes of death. What exactly does that mean?

Also, it features a "real crack house"?!?

Yes the love that God and his son has for mankind is so much more then we could ever imagine and probably never show ourselves.

The deaths that 99 people die a day in the US from ages 12-24 can be preventable.

It is a mock crack house it smells like one. And i can't believe people live like that, so sad.

It is in Brownsville Tx. if you dare to go there.

I would have thought that death was itself a consequence... and a pretty severe one too.

Consequences are the result of things, not the cause of things.

Thus blaming a 'lack of consequences' for causing anything is nonsensical.


EDIT:
".... The “99” is a statistic based off the Center of Disease Control, stating there are 99
young people between the ages of 12-24 that die every day from preventable causes…
31 in auto related accidents
16 homicide or domestic violence
12 will commit suicide
The remainder will die of drug overdose, lack of consequences, disease, or natural causes
The reality theater depicts the 5 leading causes of death: drunk driving, drug overdose,
gang violence, suicide, and lack of consequences. ...."

Nope, it makes no more sense in context than out of it.

To me the lack of consequences means that when a young person does
something wrong, he has received no spankings, restictions, or other
type of consequences for his actions for so long that he continues doing
worse and worse things until he does something so stupid it causes his
death.

Are you suggesting that young people who commit suicide may do so - to some degree, or in part - because they haven't been physically assaulted enough by adults?

I am talking about that they have not received proper discipline. 😏

I never said anything about physically assaulting young people.
I was talking about proper discipline so the child continually
learns correct behavior that would keep him safe instead of
running after a ball into the street and getting hit by a car or
some other dumb action that he might do because of lack of
proper discipline.

And yet you advocate "spankings".

Do you mean the lack of people who knew or the lack of people who did not know ?

The latter seems a double negative. It means many people knew John 3:16.

Am I right ?
