01/29/14 POST AND DISCUSSION CONCERNING CHRISTIAN HOMESCHOOLING

I find it interesting that people who say they are not capable of homeschooling their own children, but they are ready to argue with people who successfully home school their own children. They judge themselves incompetent and then argue with those who are proving themselves competent. There is a little disconnect here. Maybe the homeschooling parent has discovered something that the self proclaimed "incompetent" parent needs to learn.

Of course, parents are capable, because God planned it that way. They may need training, encouragement, support and materials, but they can do what God intended for them to do. As mjg pointed out, the incompetence might stem from the fact that the public school system has robbed most parents of the tools, education and the confidence to teach their own children. Along with that, I would add that a Statist society and culture inundated with Secular Humanistic philosophy wants to commandeer the children and scuttle the work of God in order to force anti-Christian Government Education and undermine family values and Bible training provided by Christian education.

Don't misread this as an attack on all public school teachers. I am addressing the problem of education that is based on the philosophy and teaching inherent to modern education and government schooling, and the propaganda that cripples parents. I am sorry that Christians have bought into a system that rapes and robs the morals and minds of our children. But it is wrong to torpedo home schooling in order to promote government schools.

Do what you want, but don't attack the parent's right and responsibility to raise up a child in the way he/she should go.

believe what you want, i respect you the same. however i feel that this post was directed toward myself. i do not consider this arguing. there is nothing wrong with homeschooling children and yes that is the way kids should be taught. especially with the things that are going on in our public schools for example bullying, sex, drugs, murders, rapes and a number of other things that educators and teachers are presenting to our children. the curiculim that the school system uses in many cases is also wrong. what i mean by that is some of the things they teach in science classes such as the theory of evolution and so forth. i am sorry if anyone was offended. our kids have never been homeschooled because, us as parents have not been well educated or had the time to teach our kids so therefore they attend public schools. they know the truth and are still taken to church and understand the messege of the cross. in no way did i mean any harm by anything that i posted. i still love you the same pastor.

I run into this argument all the time, from lots of people. I do not use facebook for personal attacks. If you were the only person who ever said this, I would address it differently. However, you are proving my point with your comment. I support home schooling and church schools because I see major problems with government schools, and believe parents need to do the right thing for their children, no matter how difficult it is. The greatest gift, next to salvation, that God has given us, is our children.

John Dewey, the Father of Modern Education, was an atheist who built the modern school system on anti-Bible philosophy and practices. Parents need to heed my warnings and find a way to protect their children, rather than ignore and reject my warnings. The present political system and moral climate in America is the product of the modem public school. So, if people want more of what America has become, reject what I say. By the way, this is exactly the America that Dewey invisioned and designed.

for me and my family i believe its a little to late to homeschool because i believe they needed to start from a really young age. they are entering high school next year.

Nope. Eight years of misleading does not justify four more years of misleading and corruption. In fact, it can be said, "It is too late when there is no more opportunity." We will do what we can to snatch valuables from a fire, but we just surrender our children to the fires of Moloch because we don't really care about the final dangers to our children's lives and eternal destinies that come from sacrificing them to the Statist idol of Progressive Education (better known as anti-Christian, anti-Bible, anti-American brain washing).

Let me add this. People are in the dark and helpless in the face of Secular Humanism because they have pastors that don't know or don't care about the children, or because they go to a church that has locked arms with the godless State and Christ-less agenda of atheistic socialism.

I have a comment that will give a little more info, which I will post after this one.

Another thought. The so-called, "Progressive Movement," in America (which is actually the anti-Christian, anti-Bible and anti-America movement, better known as Socialism and Democratic Socialism), has been gaining ground in America for about 150 years. This anti-Bible movement encompasses education, government, religion, medicine and economics. Pastors have allowed this monster to grow and devour our young because they did not have enough desire to shepherd the sheep of God. This is why so many people in so many churches are proponents.

And if I may add, I have read countless stories of people who pull their children from public school at different ages, different grade levels, different learning abilities and have successfully homeschooled them. The parents themselves come from all walks of life, some are college professors while others didn't even finish high school. There are sources that are available today (even free ones) that were not available 10-20 years ago, yet even then parents were able to do what most think is unthinkable, and that is homeschool their own children.

we are not in a situation to homeschool our children. for 1 we do not have the time and 2 we are not well educated. myself and my wife both work, without working we would not be able to pay our bills.

this brings up a good point. Life is tough today, for most of us. In fact, it is so tough that the Christian life cannot be lived without the grace and miraculous power of God. Some people are always talking about the power of God and His miracles, but then they live like the world lives or they live in subjection to the powers of darkness. Now that is a disconnect.

Those who put God first and live by faith are able to do the impossible, because it is no longer them, but Christ in them. Living By Faith is a great song, but it is more than a song. It is Christ in us, the hope of glory. I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me. The Christian life is lived in the power of the Spirit of God, not in the power of the flesh. I am not talking about the miracle of making money, I am talking about the miracle of God providing a way, where there is no way.

i trust that God will provide and fill the need but we still have to work to keep what we have. im not saying that my wifes job is more important than the kids but i think the man in the relationship should not pull all of the weight. the woman should work too. now if the man has a good enough job to where the woman does not have to work, great. but that is not the case in most american families, including mine. we could not survive if she did not work. being able to work is a God given ability. we cant just sit back and expect God to give us what we need without working. if we did that then we would not surrvive.

dlg said...

Well XX, I think you are probably more representative of the average Christian than I am.
