 Quote From: jb7ctx Whew!! That post just hit a sore spot with me. I had to vent. ( sorry ). It just infuriates me that the kids cant have nothing to do with using Gods name in school ( pledge, prayer) but yet, this one state ( probably others too ) is having those types of materials there for the kids to read. I feel that if they are gonna have those books there then they ought to have "The Book of Leviticus" there also for the kids to read as well. But what I really dont understand is , these teachers have so much to teach already, so why are they making them teach "king and king?" I feel that , that is the parents job to do on if they want to teach their kids about "king and king" or the Bible. What a parent may be teaching at home about the Bible, the school is going against their wishes by teaching something that the family may not believe in or want their kids exposed too. That is confusing to the child when the parent says it is wrong, and the school says it is ok. Another thing, my 6 y/o son came home from school last week telling us that he learned at school that if we were to ever spank him, he can call the police. We dont spank, we do time outs anyway, but right here , this example, is one reason why kids are like they are now a days. Kids can over power their parents.
What I mean by " take God out and the devil moves in", is I also feel that is why there "is" so much violence in schools and not just schools but everywhere. I know "some" can deny God if they choose and "some" can believe in homosexuality if they choose. To each their own. Times were so much easier and safer back in the good ole days. What happened?? Something happened. I must admit that I am clueless about the material "king and king" but whatever the case I do not think a kid should be ridiculed for taking a Bible to school to read at his own leisure like at lunch time which is what I used to do but kids have gotten in trouble for it now days. I wonder if kids are aloud to use the book of Psalms as poetry in the public school system. I took a poetry class in school and some of us did an assignemnt on Psalm 23 which was no big deal, any way, I chose the route I did to provide my kids a better education as well as avoid some of the chaios going on in the public school system. I am sure that if there has been any tragic stories in the Christian schools, it would hit the media so fast that you wouldn't have time to blink and the truth of the matter is, there isn't the vilolence and nonsense going on in the private schools as they are in the public system and to me that says a whole lot. God can be taken out of our lives and denied all we want, but it doesn't change the fact that He still exists and my faith and life has proven so much to that, My life has been a changed for the better since becoming a Christian, I could go on and on about things that happened in my life and for those who want proof, well, I am positive they will get thier proof one way or the other, they can reject or accept it now but in the end, I believe God is gonna make Himself known and in the meantime I choose to believe and to teach my kids about God and the fact that they do not have to be politically correct, it isn't gonna get much better, but seems that sometimes things have to get workse before the positive outcome and according tot he Bible,t hat is exactly what is gonna happen and I for one believe it and will continie to believe it regardless of what others say and I will make sure my kids have the opportunity to make that choice, to receive it or reject but as for my household, we believe and I will send my kids to a system that believes and encourages them to love and respect thier parents as well as God. |

Something happened. I just googled the king and king and I guarentee that if my children brought that book home to read, I would make clear that this was not in God's plan to live as homosexuals, it is my right as a parent to teach my children the truths of the Bible. marriage was created for man and woman, this is why God created man and woman as we are, man and woman are to come together as one, they have the parts to do that LOL. Again, we can deny this stuff all we want but the "proof" that so many people are wanting will be revealed. And my life as many other lives are proof enough of the powerful works of God, some call it an opinion and that's ok but this mother has absolutely no problem in teaching my kids this opinion for it is real. They will also learn that some popel deny this truth for whatever reason and it is a choice that they are gonna have to figure out for themselves and they will be accountable for their own choices, i intend on teaching my kids int he way they should go and because I beleive in the prmises of God, they will not depart from it meaning they will always have God to turn to, they do not have to turn to the ways of the world.................gotta go get oldest form school, have a great day/week everyone. |
