my thanks to JGR and Peter for encouragement.   
My Bible gives all the answers I really need - and it explains all those 
other books so well.
When you raise children, you find all too quickly that they are not innocent! 
  Children do not have to be taught the evil things of life - but the good 
fruit must be cultivated and nourished.   Love your enemies is not easy - but it 
is a command from Christ.   things like lying and stealing, and temper 
tantrums seem to come naturally and must be punished.....parents are also commanded 
to discipline children raising them in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. 
  The children are not innocent, but by God's mercy and grace, infants/small 
children MAY be covered by Christ's sacrifice.    We are all in God's hands - 
and can trust Him.
