Children

Here is just a sampling of the lies about God, that are taught in most schools:

The universe was not created.

Radiocarbon dating that dated a live mud turtle in Arizona in 1961 to be 15,000 years old, is what they base many of the dates of living things on this earth and facts about evolution on.

If our founding father’s believed in God, it was not relevant to their decision making when they put together our constitution. If it were relevant, it would be taught.

That you can have morals without Jesus Christ.

You don’t need prayer for help, just smarter people, better rules and stronger good guys.

No one needs to fear God, just the bullies of the world.

Christianity is just a religion just like all the other religions.

Biblical history is not relevant, therefore it does not need to be taught.



The problem that I have with this, is that the only source that I have to base all truths on, is the Bible. I believe that the Bible is the one book that we can count on for truth.

Let me give you one tiny example:

For many years, mankind taught that the earth was flat. This was common knowledge and it was the truth for that time. What people of that time did not know was that the truth of the round earth was in the Bible all along.

Isaiah40
21Have you not known?
Have you not heard?
Has it not been told you from the beginning?
Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?
22It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in.

From the heavens, the only way for the earth to appear as a circle, would be if it were a sphere. Otherwise you would have to be at an exact location, which God is not. The earth would have many shapes and appearances if it were flat or any other shape.

So what they are teaching in some schools is; that it is better to learn about truths that are ever changing as new information comes in, and the one place where the truth can be validated should not be taught at all. Our children spend most of their days with these ever changing truths and when we spend those few hours a week teaching them the truth, how can we expect them to believe us?

Or is it another case of Santa Claus and the tooth fairy? We teach our children that they are real and when they find out that we have lied to them, are they ready to believe us any longer?

When my children were in the public school, they believed everything their teachers told them. If I told them something different, then they would have a hard time knowing whom to trust, especially because by sending them to school to learn, I was also giving them the message to listen to their teachers and trust them. It becomes very confusing for a child when they are getting so many mixed messages.

And now when I ask God, “Lord are You sure You want me to homeschool?” I know why He says yes every time. He wanted me to get unbrainwashed from all the public schooling lies I had received and make sure that His children in my care, were getting the truth.

Now I teach from textbooks like, World History From A Christian Perspective. One of the opening paragraphs from this book states,"For the beginning of history, the Bible is our only reliable record. It tells us that the world history began with God's creation of the first man and woman. Man is special to God because he alone was created in the image of God."

That is what I want my child's education to be based on. The truths taught by God through His Holy Word.

P.S. I know many who are unable to homeschool, but there are many Christian textbooks out there that you can supplement your child's education with. I get many from used bookstores and other homeschooling families. The Bible is not the only book that proclaims God's Word as the Truth and it is good for children to see this. You might be surprised at what you learn also. I am becoming more and more aware of all the wonderful things that the Bible has to tell us.
