MODERN EDUCATION’S FUNDAMENTAL FLAW

If one had to identify the principle flaw of the modern system of education, it would have to be the fundamental ignorance of what education really is. According to the Law of God, education embodies God’s Law, as it relates to every and all areas of life. Yet, in our modern paganized system of “so called” education, the state has negated all Biblical influence of Truth. In essence, the state educational system has exchanged the “Truth of God for a lie.”

Noah Webster’s 1828 definition of education clearly captures what the fullness of Biblical education should be:

“The bringing up, as of a child; instruction; formation of manners. Education comprehends all that series of instruction and discipline which is intended to enlighten the understanding, correct the temper, and form the manners and habits of youth, and fit them for usefulness in their future stations. To give children a good education in manners, arts and science, is important; to give them a religious education is indispensable; and an immense responsibility rests on parents and guardians who neglect these duties.”

Rather than complementing and augmenting the True education principle, the state educational system has sought to destroy it. Anti-Christian philosophies and ideas of sinful man have replaced God’s perfect system of education. Furthermore, modern educational institutions have adulterated all aspects of absolute morality and Biblical discipline. This process, and the toleration of it by the masses, has directly led to the spoiling of our nation’s hope, the children.

The Apostle Paul, by the inspiration of God, understood that vain philosophies, and the toleration of the masses to those philosophies, would be the destruction of the people:

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 

(Colossians 2:8 AV)

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].

(2 Corinthians 11:3-4 AV)

The strategic destruction of a people is done through its future generations. This is precisely what is being done in America today. Like Hitler before, so too is our generation being taken from us, right before our very eyes. What is so dreadfully disturbing, is that while it is bad enough that we tolerate such a systematically destructive assault upon our children, many embrace, promote and defend such a system of education.

Perhaps we could understand why those who do not profess orthodox Christianity shuffle off their children to the camps of secular humanism. But when the community of the saints do as the heathen, then what? It gets worse. Like the layman, even the pastors, who ought to know how important the basic and fundamental precepts of the Christian Faith are, as it concerns the generational idea of the Covenant, have embraced and made excuses for the secular educational system of the state. This is both treason and blasphemy. While the pastors ought to be instructing and encouraging Christian parents to teach their children the principles of Scriptures via Biblically based academic instruction, they have discouraged their flock and supported the “de-christianization” of the heritage of the Lord. Thus is the Scripture fulfilled;

 “His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.”  Isa. 56:10

Concerning the toleration of evil, Edmund Burke wrote: “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.”

In 1835 Alexis de Tocqueville, the famous French statesman, historian and scholar, wrote in his two part work entitled Democracy in America:

“I do not know whether all Americans have a sincere faith in their religion– for who can search the human heart? But I am certain that they hold it to be indispensable to the maintenance of republican institutions... In the United States the Sovereign authority is religious, ...

There is no country in the world where the Christian Religion retains a greater influence over the souls of men than in America, and there can be no greater proof of its utility and of its conformity to human nature than that its influence is powerfully felt over the most enlightened and free nations of the earth.

I sought for the key to the greatness and genius of America...

Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power.

America is great because America is Good, and if America ever ceases to be good, America will cease to be great.”
