    Shelia, do you believe the words you read in your bible? God condemns same gender sexual relationships. This is not His design. Understand that order and relationship and its purpose were created by God. Sin is simply not following Gods design. Lying, not his design. Stealing, not his design. Murder, not his design. And so it is with relationships, like honor thy father and thy mother. That is his design and will lead to health and stability and peace. Things like homosexuality ect. tend to disorder and unhealthy relationships. God has forgiven our sin but he still wants us to pursue a life worthy of having his spirit dwell in us while we wait for our ultimate home in a new body.

    I hope this helps you approve things that are excellent.

    I was trying to get information to teach a lesson against this to the children that are being exposed to this in public schools. It makes me sick that this has just become an acceptable way of life. We must love the sinner but hate the sin and it is so hard for these kids to understand this when they are being taught it by people they are suppose to respect and believe.
  • The Bible vs Public Education - In Reply on James 1 - 2 years ago
    Basically the Bible teaches us to love God, and HATE sin.

    There is no fuzziness in what the Bible teaches in Romans 1, Leviticus 20:13, Deuteronomy 22:22

    My kid came home from school upset because he had to take a test the next day: and agree that man evolved from apes. He knew it was blasphemy because I quizzed him. I told him that he had MY PERMISSION and SUPPORT to FLUNK THAT TEST!! We would make extra credits some other way.

    If we don't agree with what public education is teaching our kids: instead of warming a church pew, teach in children's church what the truth is.

    What did King David do as a young shepherd boy when he heard his God being cursed by the Philistines? He went down to the battlefield and took off Goliaths head!!

    If a kid flunks a test find out how much it reduces the grade point average for the course.

    Our children need to know they do not have to conform to something they do not believe in, MORALLY. Do your kids know what morals are? They aren't being taught that in school. Colleges beat in your brains with godless information till you cave in and say what they want on a test. Choose a Christian College!

    In 1962, the Lords Prayer, the Ten Commandments and the Pledge of Allegiance to our National Flag was removed from schools. That was bad... but now they are forcing our kids to be gay, so they can belong. Even 6 year old kids who don't even know what sexual acts are. Do they know what sexual diseases are? That they are itchy, ooze, and cause irreparable harm to the body, so they can't have children later?

    It takes guts to stand up for your kids and say NO to the gay education reformers. You'd fight back if someone tried to muscle you out of a parking place.

    Teach your children & grandchildren about God. One day we will give an account to Gods Face, what we personally did about His Word - the Bible! There's no reward for cowardice or APATHY!

    Speak up before it's TOO LATE.

    I know it is not possible for everyone but we drive 180 miles a day, five days a week so that our son can go to a self-funded Christian school (fortunately for our son he only has to travel half the weekly distance). We have also home schooled in the past with all three children.

    I don't think we live in a choice society anymore. It takes extreme love and sacrifice to raise children these days. I admire your commitment very much.
