That's the conclusion or claim, the argument is what follows, which establishes the truth of the claim. Do you disagree with the conclusion because the premises that are presented in the argument are faulty, or do not lead to the conclusion? Or do you disagree because you do not believe unrepented sin will cause a person to be lost? Or do you disagree because you don't like the conclusion? Or do you disagree for reasons which you cannot at this time articulate?

But that's just it, I don't believe there's truth in that claim. I don't believe that parents who send their children to public schools will burn in hell anymore than I believe a preacher is going to hell for wearing a colored shirt, wedding ring or a tie bar.

I believe the majority of the scriptures you've presented do speak of instruction of children in the home, but none are a ban on public education.

Are you also against universities or community colleges?

I must say I don't think you understand what I had posted. I realize you don't believe the claim is true, you established that fact as soon as you said "I disagree."

The scriptures I posted teach that God commands children's education be Biblical and Christian, that parents are accountable for whoever teaches their children and whatever is taught, that public schools are designed to lead children away from God, that attempting to lead children away from God is sin, and THEREFORE parents who authorize and allow such a scheme of antichristian education to be taught to their children commit sin that, if not repented of, will condemn the soul.

If you believe the scriptures do not affirm that line of reasoning, can you show where the fault lies?

"“I’m going to let you in on a dirty little secret of the evangelical pastors,” he said. “I’ve been in the ministry for 40 years, and I can tell you this is true because they tell me this when we talk privately. They are afraid to tackle this because they have so many public school addicts in their churches. If they address it strongly, they’ll lose their jobs.”"

I have several friends who attended church but went to public school and they never rebelled as I did. They're in church and serving God today. But they've told me it was hard with the peer pressure and humanistic stuff they were being taught.

I agree 100% with your statement, "How one raises their child is what matters." If we as parents do not pray, read the bible, fellowship together with believers and live the word at home, it won't matter what school they attend.
Well said n david. well said.

Re: Public school and the Christian parent

Our youngest 2 sons were home-schooled thru 8th grade. Then they attended a public High school - BIG mistake. We didn't repeat that mistake with our 3rd son & daughter.

Our 3rd son was home schooled thru high school. Scored a 30 on his ACT, tested out of nearly a semester of college and is pulling straight A's in his 1st year of college. He remarked that college is easier than being home schooled (LOL). My daughter will also complete high school thru on-line, home school programs. All of her classes are on-line - my wife just has to monitor her progress.

That being said we realize that not all families are able to homeschool for a variety of reasons. But it it's an option for a family we highly recommend it.

Re: Public school and the Christian parent

We had our kids at A.C.E. and my wife currently works at Canada's ACE hq. My grandkids go there now, and I am, so glad they're not in public school.

Re: Public school and the Christian parent

We used ACE but felt like our kids weren't being challenged at all. Now on ABeka and they are very challenged! Wild how much they expect a 5th grader to know now! Lol
