Re: Public school and the Christian parent

Because I agreed with your thesis; but disagreed with your conclusion, I was being considerate. Like most ministers; who deem their voice as Bodhi, only total submission and compliance to your views are acceptable. My wife's witness of serving and loving these children is far superior to your criticisms on the ineptness of public schools. I wanted to avoid the obvious flaw of your scriptural conclusion because of the truths in your premise. But dismissing others as biased ergo disqualifying their views is pretentious.

Proverbs 16:18 (KJV) Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Since you have done so a great job with all the negatives of public school; which most all of us here have agreed, let's look at the positives of Christian children going to public schools. If you train your children to love people and value souls they will let their witness shine forth before their peers. How many souls have been won by Apostolic children reaching for the lost in public schools? Your focus is on the negative influences in public schools pose on Christian Children. Are you saying that wickedness of the world is greater than the anointing in Christian children's lives? If all Apostolics removed their children from schools would there be any hope for the children of the Lost? Was it not the Pharisees who criticized our Lord ministering to the poor.

Matthew 9:11(KJV) And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto his disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?

Our whole country is a construct of the Oligarchs manipulating its citizens into a hive mindset. Trying to control every facet of our lives with their lustful needs of power and wealth. We have been conditioned by schools, media, workplace and even churches. Churches today follow a business model that incorporates 501c3 tax advantages within that model. That is part of the beast system, so are those pastors and saints going to hell? I had someone tell me that they did not go to church because of the hypocrites. I asked them if they went grocery shopping, to the bank, to school or on vacations and they acknowledge they did. I asked why would they since there are hypocrites in grocery stores, banks, schools and everywhere you vacation. There are saints and sinners everywhere from the church to the community. But we cannot lose site that we are called to seek and to save the lost.

Luke 5:32 (KJV) I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

Lastly, we choose to be fearless or failures. It easy to be a holy man on top of a mountain out of the reach of the world. But how are you going to impact the world if you do not face corruptness head on? Ministries prepare the children of God to go out into the world with the whole armor of God to fight the good fight. Parents should live that example in front of their children to prepare them for the battles they will face. You can shield your children all their lives; but sooner or later, they must step on the battle field.

Ephesians 6:11(KJV) Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Selah
