Perhaps you could think carefully about what the Bible tells us about how children are to be trained up. Since you appear to be a government school welfare addict, perhaps you could pay to educate your children yourself. In any event, education is not a proper function of the government.

You “get” it. Few conservatives do.

Nearly every teacher in this nation was trained by godless Marxists in Marxist run colleges and universities. This is true for both private and government schools from Pre-K through university graduate school.

Where is the alarm, urgency or even awareness of the **serious** threat coming from conservatives? I don't see it.

And...most of all, it is important for the Spirit to testify to your heart that it is true.

They turned out just fine **in spite** of their education at the University of Babylon. We don't get to read about those who didn't do so well.

Fundamentally, a child or youth in a godless classroom **WILL** learn to think and reason godlessly. They must just to cooperate in the godless classroom. How could it be otherwise?

I agree that this is true for adults or older teens who are solid in their faith.

No Christian should ever send an immature child into the clutches of the godless Marxists who run and control public schooling and nearly all universities ( even Christian colleges and universities.)

When it comes to the declining percentages of Christians in our nation it has **everything** to do with godless and Marxist run government K-12 schooling.

I wonder how many ministers have spouses working in the godless government school indoctrination camps?

And....In my county the government school district is the biggest single employer with the largest payroll. A lot of people sitting in the pews earn a living from the godless indoctrination camps either directly or indirectly. Few ministers will preach against this or bite the hand that feeds them.

The Barna research proves the opposite.

quote-The pastor of The Church of the Mega Mall was trained in those fine Christiaan schools you speak of

That wouldn’t surprise me, nifster.
He was probably taught a different 1st importance of the gospel than the one Paul taught the Corinthians.

It starts there.. and one may need to unlearn what they always ‘knew’ before they can learn what they never knew or thought..

new eyes to see and new ears to hear. may change this pastor’s complete outlook on the Word..and how only the Word can be trusted.
It was so subtle I didn’t see it. but He can open the eyes of the blind! willingness or unwillingness to unlearn may hold lots of people back from seeing...

Exactly! This actually trumps any access one may have to the bible or lexicons!

Until July of this summer, when we moved to NC, we lived for 23 years in Alpharetta, GA. Where Andy Stanley’s church is located. Though I belonged to a PCA church, I often visited Andy’s North Point Christian where many of my friends belonged. About three years ago, I realized that something was just not right there. Andy began to sound like Rick Warren and fitting the description of what we generally called the “emerging church”. He seemed to be focusing more on what he thought would draw people in and make them feel good, rather than what the scriptures teach. The worship service became more and more a big show that focused on theatrics rather than Jesus and I felt so uncomfortable there that I never visited again.

Rood is a fraud, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, wanting to put people back under bondage to the Law.

A quick google search of his name and teachings will expose that.
