Re: Scriptural view of parental education
It's not the schools causing the problems, it is the "churches". They have departed from teaching "The Full Counsel of God" and make priorities out of programs and gifts, and what little is taught from God's Word it is always "smooth words" There is no message of The Cross anymore. Everything is about cleaning up the flesh "in Jesus' Name". Christian television is all about eating from the good side of the tree, and most radio programs also. We have to get back to "The Cross and The Finished Work of Christ". This is a good reason to homeschool, kids will not learn about Christ in schools. dp9 posted some excellent Scriptures on the parents responsibility to teach their children. Where else will they find out Who Christ is, what He has done, what His present ministry is, who they are in Christ and how to see things with a Divine Viewpoint instead of a humanistic/socialistic viewpoint from the pit of hell. They tell children "there's a little good in everybody" but The Word of God says "there is none good no not one". If they hear the former through 12 years of school, plus Collage and hear the latter at home, their soul's will be in such a state of confusion they will eventually seek medication. Believers should be begging their Pastors to lift up Christ instead of all the works programs that passes as "Chrisianity". Truth is the only combat against humanistic and Satanic philosophy, and they can't be mixed. We, as parents, have to "build on the Foundation that has already been laid", which is Christ Jesus.
