Shame-spawning Parents

Christian parents can set their Christian kids up for great failure if they imply that falling into sin is virtually unpardonable (they wouldn't SAY this, but...) or that it mars you for life. Kids will hide their sin and get under so much shame, it leads to greater problems. Many parents have never faced how horrific their own flesh is in God's eyes, and so they have THEIR socially acceptable sins and YOUR socially UNacceptable sins. They can't relate to testimonies of people who escaped addictions or other wrecks, yet don't realize that 1) they could easily fall into worse and 2) their own sins in God's eyes are far worse than they could ever imagine! The end result is both kids and parents living inauthentic lives and never knowing true freedom!
