I'm familiar with the area. From the lack of certain details, I suspect you are correct.
Prayers for your family.
I've seen in many places that the Greek word that gets translated as "meek", really means "the wild horse that has become obedient to the bit and bridle." It literally is strength under control! . In other words, somebody who is the sheepdog, rather than the sheep or the wolf.
The meek person neither bullies, nor permits bullying.
Case in point, Numbers 12:3 "( Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth.)" and yet in Exodus 2:11-12 he kills an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew.
No. Visualize the response if some white kids attempted to bully some black kids. The schools CANNOT afford to be seen as imposing more disciplinary actions on black kids than on white kids, regardless of which group commits more incidents.
Yes. A tame German Shepard dog is one who will not behave aggressively towards the family which owns him. This does not mean it won't rip the face off a home invader. This is my point. The dog in the above case is "meek".
They are teaching from the postmodern philosophy that there is no absolute truth and what is real is only in your own mind. These days are the consequences of Godlessness and the pillar of our civilization, the Church, crumbling.
Yes, very true. I am glad I had fhu.com to help me or I would probably be dead by now.
