The Resolution Says...

Whereas, the government schools are by their own confession humanistic and secular in their instruction...

Analysis

It is likely that in most days of Jesus' youth, he began his day with the Sh'MaH,

HEAR Oh Israel...
The Lord Our God, the Lord is ONE.

And you shall LOVE the Lord your God
with all your heart
and with all your soul
and with all your might.

And these Words, which I command you this day,
shall be in your heart:

And you shall teach them diligently unto you children;
And shall talk of them when you sit in your house,
And when you walk by the Way,
And when you lie down,
And when you rise up. (Deuteronomy 6:4-7)

He probably attended a Hebrew school taught at his synagogue. This was the philosophy of His education.

The idea of attending a Roman school would have been abhorrent to serious followers of Jehovah.

It wasn't that the Romans were an intolerant lot; quite the contrary. Their beef with Christians was that they weren't very tolerant. Every god was allowed to be worshiped, so long as that worship included Caesar.

When Christians didn't bow the knee, they were tossed to the lions.

And that is exactly what our public schools demand—bow the knee to all the gods, starting with Mankind himself.

Secular humanism says,

• When humans get together and form collective organizations for social welfare and civic salvation, there is no limit to the good they can accomplish.
• This is because mankind is essentially good and well-intentioned.
• God is not necessary.

The Bible tells us the error of collectivism in the Tower of Babel story. Scripture says, All have sinned, The heart is deceitful and desperately wicked, and all our righteousness is like filthy rags. And there is no salvation without a Savior.

This is essential Christian doctrine, and on these points compromise is toxic to the soul.

So we ask, If the Apostles and the Early Church Fathers were willing to face death rather than bow the knee to Caesar or accept the pantheon of gods, is it too much to ask that we stop supporting government schools by placing our children in them?
