You shall teach them diligently to your children
Deut 10:12-14 And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the commandments of the LORD and His statutes which I command you today for your good? Indeed heaven and the highest heavens belong to the LORD your God, also the earth with all that is in it.
Deut. 6:1-2,6-9 Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments which the LORD your God has commanded to teach you, that you may observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, that you may fear the LORD your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I command you, you and your son and your grandson, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
No man should bring children into the world who is unwilling to persevere to the end in their nature and education. Plato
“Educating the mind without educating the heart is no education at all.” Aristotle
There is one kind of education that is far more important in raising a child than any other. It is moral education: education on what is right and what is wrong. That is the most important thing for anyone to know in life. Right versus Wrong. It is fundamental in a person’s character.
For many years now, under the guise of “diversity training”, schools in America have been teaching children that homosexuality is morally OK — that homosexuals should be accepted and that discrimination and bias against them is wrong. In contrast, the Bible teaches that homosexuality is sin of the highest order. Both cannot be right. If one is right, the other is wrong. If the Bible is right, homosexuality is high sin. If homosexuality is morally OK then the Bible and Christianity are frauds. This is all about Secular Humanism and Modern Psychiatry versus the Bible and Christianity. The religion of the modern West is Secular Humanism.
If I teach my child one thing on moral matters and his teacher teaches him the opposite it is going to cause confusion for the child on moral matters. Suppose a teacher taught children that murder was OK? Do you think that doing that would affect the character of the child? I think it would. Children are easily influenced and easily deceived. On moral matters children need to hear one voice, not two opposing voices.
The parents of America place their children in the hands of a government run school system. (You can surely trust the government, can’t you?) The system is so very convenient. It babysits them, provides them with a meal, and doesn’t charge a penny. How very nice! Mostly it doesn’t do especially well at teaching reading, writing, arithmetic and the basics of history and geography but it does teach them other things. Like modern liberal Leftist outlook with all of its political correctness, diversity training, sex education, and anti-Capitalist / pro-Marxist leanings.
Due to the very strongly liberal, Humanistic, Marxist bias of the vast majority of our teachers and professors, the school systems of America have, for the last forty of fifty years, been indoctrinating American children in moral, spiritual, economic, and political lie. Christians have generally just allowed them to do this to their children with essentially no protest. They don’t want to make trouble or get into a big fight. They just turn their backs and don’t ask questions.
Very conveniently for the liberals, one is not legally allowed to teach Christianity in our schools while the Liberals are allowed to teach their atheistic, Marxist outlooks.
The parents do love their children of course. But what is right and what is wrong morally, spiritually, and politically anyway? And does it really matter? They don’t know exactly just what the school is teaching their children but they trust the teachers.
Actually it is Satan who is doing the teaching but don’t tell them that! He is capturing souls for himself! That is the delight of his life!
Anyone with any sense knows that indoctrinating the children of a country in some outlook and ideology will have repercussions for the future of the country. The children of today become the America of tomorrow. (The America of today is the last two or three generations of government indoctrinated children). We have taught our children that Wrong is Right and indoctrinated them in the ideologies of Marxism. Now half of the people in our country don’t know Wrong from Right, are believers in a false, foolish, atheistic Marxist ideology, and follow all of the “politically correct” positions of this ideology. Is that any surprise? Half of the people of the country are mindless fanatics of a false, foolish religion. A religion whose end is Hell. Their minds and souls were formed by their school system.
When I went to school I was taught reading, writing, and arithmetic and was not taught moral values or indoctrinated in political outlooks. I was allowed to just think for myself. My mind was formed by reading the Bible.
Our modern Western society is sick! Very sick! America will pay the price! The West will pay the price! There is a price for wickedness and foolishness!
