PURPOSE OF EDUCATION

Encyclopedia Britannica of 1952 says the purpose of education is to raise up children to follow in their parents traditions with good success.

Parents in all societies want their children to have the same values as themselves.

What happens when people with different beliefs teach the children?
If the king of England could control the teaching in Russia, wouldn't he try to have subtle teachings to change the children?
The Russians clearly stated they wanted to change the way children in America were taught, even before World War II.
Clearly, each power wants to teach children according to their ways of thinking.
The great question is who will be in control of teaching children, the parents or the central government ?

Notice in all changes of power, the new conqueror tends to purge (murder or imprison) the previous leading thinkers of the conquered society.

Consider the man who saw his child grow up to have totally different values than his own. It alienates members of the family.

By 1998 The World Book encyclopedia said some of the main purpose of schools today was to replace what parents were no longer doing for their children, to give them guidance and values. The new system of federal government schools did not begin until 1948 when the foolish Supreme Court removed Bible classes from school campus. Centralized control of our schools was further strengthened when LBJ established the U.S. Dept. of Education. Remember, from 1620 till 1960, there was no provision for centralized control over schools. The federal government was not originally intended to teach our children.

If the king of England could have controlled what schools taught, the Magna Charter would never have been gained by the people of England.
Instead, the king would have taught all the children to be totally submissive to the king and all his wishes.

Early American settlers well knew the importance of training up their children, and the effects of outside influences contrary to their own beliefs.
That's why they left England for Holland, and Holland for America.

TRADITIONAL UNDERSTANDING OF A GOOD SCHOOL
Whatever the ways of living are, each society wants its children to fit into the society of the parents. The children are expected to carry on the values and ideas of their parents.
Schools are expected to give children the tools they need to earn a living.
That has been the traditional understanding of a good education.

The American Indians wanted their children to learn to hunt and ride a horse and worship the great spirit. They failed in their raising of children according to their culture and their culture is evaporated away. The Moslems want their children to believe like they do, so they teach them their way. The atheists want their children to believe like they do, so they teach them their way; not only their own children, but they try to teach everyone else's children too!

Atheists are effectually doing a more active job of evangelism to their way of thinking than are the Christians.

Consider the schools and what is taught and what is omitted.

Scripture says, It is an abomination for the righteous to fall down before those who do not believe, but that is what has happened in the public schools of this land. Proverbs 25:26
Prov 29:2 ...when the unbelievers rule the schools, the people mourn for the fruit in their off-spring

HUMANISM is just another word for atheism. It began in the garden of Eden when the serpent deceived Eve into ignoring God and believing that her own knowledge of good and evil would make her like her own god.

The humanists have a written agenda, nationally published, for many years, to destroy the traditional Christian faith from children in school. They claim to be winning the battle in the classrooms. The humanists have gained so much control over what is being taught and how it is being taught that the children are being won over to their philosophies at a greater and greater rate. That rate is rapidly accelerating.

The people in political and economic power who are willing to invest their time and efforts and resources to raising up a generation of children to fit their own society are mostly the humanists. Look at how the local Lutheran school had to close its doors because of lack of support. Look at how the children of Christian parents don't know even the Ten Commandments, but they do know many tenets of Humanism as a way of belief. Then ask who is working harder to mold the minds of children?

Remember the purpose of education is to train up children in the way that you want them to be. Training is a process over time. What training is your child getting five days a week that fit with the way God has commanded all who believe in Him to raise up their children?

I'll name a few omissions:
The child is not being taught to keep God in all his thoughts, but what makes him happy..

The child is not being taught to base his decisions on the word of God, but on how he feels.

The child is not being taught right and wrong so much as he is being taught to choose what he likes.

The child is not being taught that his parents respect the commandments of God enough to have them posted in the child's school, but he is being taught that Sunday is a time for going to church and the rest of the week is for doing what makes you feel good about yourself.

He is not being taught to make any comparisons or references to the Bible for his essays in school.
He is being taught to depend entirely upon the world, himself, and the like for all his choices.
He is being taught that even though the Bible says one thing, his parents and most other parents, and even the preachers are content to let the schools do something else with their children.

How can the child take scripture seriously when the libraries paid for by his parents are filled with Goosebump books of horror, occult books, humanism books, and philosophies of men take priority over the Bible?
The child is being trained to think for himself, without reference to God, in all he does at school.

I desire that the children be trained to look to God for wisdom in understanding all things.
I believe early Christians understood that. May we return to our first love.
I want a school for my kids, that teaches them the way I believe. That's exactly the same definition that the atheists give. They too want a school for their kids that teaches them the way they believe.

How do you want your child trained five days a week? To consider God and the truth of God, or to ignore the TRUTH except on Sunday? Do not think that one day a week for one hour on that day can make up for ignoring the truth on the other six days.

Reading, writing, arithmetic, and history are the tools we give our children to carry on the values we have established for them.

Please notice that I did say, the values we have established for them! Some background scripture refers to the blind leading the blind with inference that it is not good. And another says, a child left to his own devices will come to no good. So I say, it is good for the parents to teach the children and not leave the children to derive their own values. My child has some liberty to choose his own desire in some things, but not in the foundational truths which are recorded in holy scripture. My child is not free to decide for himself whether or not he wants to obey me. He will learn to obey me or he will be punished. That is how I teach him to obey me. Punishment has a broad latitude for being light or severe, depending on the disobedience. My point is, the child learns the basics from me. The father and mother are the root of what the child learns.

A good school system for Christian parents is one that does nothing contrary to the Christian values of those parents. In 1997 it is evident that too often schools are giving the children ideas that are contrary to traditional Christian values. Such brain washing begins as early as Kindergarten.

Where the school has gone astray from traditional values, the school must be returned to the values of the parents, or else the parents and the children will suffer the consequences.

Early American schools taught values of the parents in the local neighborhood. In 1997 we have schools teaching the values of ivory tower psychologists thousands of miles away. Many Christian parents have pulled their children out of public schools for these reasons of incompatibility. How can two walk together unless they be agreed. The schools are not acting in agreement with the values of Christian parents.

Wake up to the impact that five days a week presentations of information void of God has on your children. Five days a week of godless references to humanistic ideas that are contrary to the Truth.

WHAT PARENTS NEED TO KNOW ABOUT EDUCATION SYSTEMS

1. "Education" is a work that molds a child. They are being molded to rely on 'higher critical thinking' instead of any hope in God. The help of His Spirit is being ignored consistently five days a week in the school training given to your children. His divine Providence as referred to in the Declaration of Independence is omitted. Your children are being conditioned to trust in the world system. Can you ignore this?

2. The goal of education is usually to produce results that are friendly to those doing the teaching. A system that denies God is shaping the teaching of your child. Guess what the goals of that system are!

3. The first essential for successful education is that the whole community have a true understanding of the nature and goal of education.

4. Plato said the aim of education is "to develop in body and soul all the beauty and perfection of which they are capable.

Individual beauty and perfection are shown in living in your circumstances of time, place, culture, religion, national or community aspirations, and MASTERY OVER MATERIAL CONDITIONS. Or as the Bible puts it, Faith without works is dead. Let ours who have believed also learn to maintain good works that they be not unfruitful.

The beliefs and outlooks of a community will affect the character of the education it gives to its children. Our children are learning by example that the Bible and what it says is very insignificant, only to be mentioned sometimes on Sunday or carried to Sunday school for extra credits.

Spencer said, that if we give children the knowledge which is "of most worth" ---that is the knowledge which has indispensable practical value in regulating the affairs of life--- we shall at the same time be giving them the best possible mental training; for it is incredible that the pursuit of the best kind of knowledge should not also afford the best mental discipline

WORST ENEMY OF CHRISTIAN CHILDREN Is not dope or pornography

The worst enemy of Christian parents is the one that is fighting against the faith of their children and they don't even know how it is happening. It is happening through the schools and the mass media. It's not the schools, they're just government entities. It's what's being taught through and in the schools by experience every day. The lack of Christian parent awareness makes it easy for the enemy of our soul to bite children in public places. Places such as McDonnalds put demonic eyed dragons to look at children while they eat breakfast, lunch, and supper. This conditions children to acceptance of evil eyed looks and even associates it with good feelings of food and family togetherness. And which pastor spoke up against this to warn his flock? From pre-school through graduation, children are bombarded with pictures of ape-men teaching against God's creation. Compromise is taught as the great democratic value for Americans to hold instead of faith toward God and standing for His truth. We are not fighting a battle for worldly things, but we are fighting a battle for the eternal soul of our children and the rise or continued decline of America.

Who will teach your children's children? Will you give the training of your children over to a teacher who reads MURDER IN THE DOLLHOUSE to third graders instead of something that gives life? You, dear parent, are responsible for what you allow to be fed to your child's mind and heart. A single seed planted can become a rotten harvest a few years later. Guard the garden of your child's heart and mind. Guard it well for God has promoted you, the father and mother, to protect and nurture your child. You are responsible for whom you give authority to train your child.

Children of Christian parents know how to reject the enticements of dope and vice. But children don't know enough to reject ideas taught to them in public school when those ideas sound good on the surface but are founded on ideas contrary to Christian faith.

You, dear parent, give your authority to the school to train up your child. That child knows the school has been approved by most parents. Therefore what ever the school says is the way things are. The school takes on an authority bigger than the parent to some children. And when school feeds ideas contrary to parent's values, that family is in for conflicts.

The worst enemy of Christian children is not dope or pornography. Christian parents have taught their children to reject those things which are obvious. Their worst enemy is attacking them with subtle poisons of humanism. Like the serpent in the garden telling Eve she didn't need God because she could do it herself.

Subtle deceptions are even sneakier today. Library books, short one day courses, assignments outside of the text book, special projects and many more ways are used to teach things other than reading writing and arithmetic. Massive support is given by colorful posters on school hallways and classroom walls to many values contrary to godliness. Teachings that are not listed in the curriculum guides, but teachings that are increasingly happening in schools because of the increasing disregard for Truth.

The school is being used to feed poisonous ideas contrary to Christianity. The Bible was not just taken out of school, it was replaced with another religion called Humanism. Why don't more parents know this?

School is being used to condition them to shallow thinking instead of deep thinking.

School is teaching the answers instead of leading them to understand.

School is being used to train them that all kinds of evil can be acceptable.

Schools are teaching philosophies of men and ignoring the scripture of life. and teaches them that evil is good.that which they can't see as attacking them. Their worst enemy is the one who feeds them daily with a meal of information authorized by their own parents but the cook has put some arsenic in the meal. And the parents don't know it, and the children think its great stuff. Public schools are now training up children in the religion of humanism. Approved by the silence of parents and pastors alike, the school system is winning the battle for the minds of children being indoctrinated with philosophies of men contrary to God's word.

If any man sees a sin and bewrays it not, he is partaker thereof. All those people who have kept their silence must repent. All those who see the evil and will not tell others for fear of their job or their pension must now tell it like it is. It is a sin not to warn Christian parents how children are being fed contrary values through public schools.

Christian training of children is part of the purpose of this site. Understanding for parents and pastors can be found here. This site also opens many doors to similar places around the country.

Atheists are laughing at Christian parents behind a mask of humanism, as the atheists train up children the way they want them in public schools. Christianity has not just been taken out of school, but it was also replaced with the values called Humanism. Differences between humanist values and Christian training of children are listed here.

Parents and pastors must study to know the problem, to recognize the serpent that is biting their children. John 3:14.Then steps can be taken to remove the poison and heal the children. There is help in Christ for those who will know the truth. Otherwise, the children will continue getting stronger doses of philosophies of men contrary to Godly teaching, that can cost their eternal soul.

Scripture says God's own people are destroyed for their lack of knowledge, and the war colleges agree by teaching that your worst enemy is the one you don't recognize, the one who fakes you out.

Dopers and gangs are not the worst enemy of your children because children can see them coming. The worst enemy of children today is in the public school where lifestyles contrary to Christianity are trained into the children. Parents give their authority to schools when they send children to school. So the children accept everything taught to them at school as from an authority even higher than their own parents! There is a clear contrast between Humanist values trained in our schools and the values of Christian parents, but few pastors have taught the people about those differences. Even fewer parents know enough to recognize those differences. Yet those differences are the downfall of America, and the increase of crime. Special short courses taught by visiting people, unlisted on the curriculum guide, have been terribly offensive to Christian values.

When parents send children to school, a transfer and approval of authority happens. Christian parents don't realize that atheists are laughing behind a mask of humanistic teaching. Atheists, also called humanists, say the battle for hearts of children is being won in the public school classroom over the rotting corpse of Christianity.
