@zac_eki@jackykimes@HwsEleutheroi Let’s grant that option 1 is true: Education is a valuable societal good. Now how much are we on the hook for? Grade school, high school, associates degree, undergrad, graduate studies, phd, 2nd phd, nth phd? We all have a line that says enough and no more… how do you justify?
Too often we end up with a domesticated deity, a God who does what we want, when we want, how we want and to whom we want. We call him a God but really it’s the God of our own making. We look down the well and wouldn’t you know it, the reflection is our own.
@MaddKayPobo@wxyzdetroit The constitution limits government intrusion on self-evident truths that protect our rights... safety isn’t in the constitution. Government can’t guarantee your safety.
@MaryPMyers4 @JohnPiper The next verse... “all that is mine is yours.” This passage is full of hope for the wayward and the dutiful, as the acceptance offered is not of themselves, but the Fathers kindness. One son squandered it, one thought he could earn it, both were embraced by mercy, not works.
Have we reached the ultimate stage of absurdity where some people are held responsible for things that happened before they were born, while other people are not held responsible for what they themselves are doing today?
"I pray...that He would so work in you now more powerfully than ever, to make you despise all that is in the world, and to make you breathe upwards direct to Him with your whole heart...making you taste what is the worth of the hope which He reserves for us in heaven"
- J.Calvin
In the schools and colleges, the intelligentsia have changed the role of education from equipping students with the knowledge and intellectual skills to weigh issues and make up their own minds into a process of indoctrination with the conclusions already reached by the anointed.
