is your child going to school or indoctrination camp

Well this is a topic that many people are are talking about today, but I shall get into the details of why government controlled schooling is an actual ideology, a religion rooted in marxism. Let's dive into history, lets begin where education became a matter of principal. When I say education, I am talking about mathematics, language, writing, history, geography, and where and why we exist. The first known idea of universal education being a part of the stable civilization came in the 16th century, previous or other societal formats were not even close in inclusion. But the likes of Martin Luther and other such reformers, such as in the UK, would have been from the likes of the Puritans who believed that each person should have the ability to read the Scriptures, leading to the call for literacy for all Christians for sure.

The idea that Christians who followed the The Gospel believed in mandatory bible studies, that this would lead to ones salvation is not true, for a true believer, and a well versed person in the scripture will understand that it is not by us, but as a free gift from God (Ephesians 2:4-9). So what came of the reformation in 16th century. Well we know that the Roman Catholic Church dominated literature, in the way that all readings were done in latin. The percentage of people in the 16th century UK that spoke Latin was between 1-5% of the entire population. This continued into the Church of England for a time, but the push to have the native English language the dominant use for the church, this largely came by way of the protestant reformation that believed in the principle that worship should be "in a tongue not understanded of the people," meaning service should be held in the local language, see my blog on "tongues". So as the reformation took hold, it was not easy, as the Puritans wanted the people of the church of England to have the purest form of the scriptures, which wasn't being told to the masses by the CofE. This led to the persecution of believers in the UK, I say believers because when an entity is killing people claiming either by religion or secular religion that they are right, I would say they are not of Christ... and all things are Christ as we read in John 1

1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

So if one is not following Christ, then one is not of Christ, but of the devil. It isn't a fine line, you are either with Him or against Him. So as the CofE continued to prosecute such notable

Puritan lawyers such as William Prynne who was an English lawyer, author and political figure, who was a prominent Puritan opponent of church policy under William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury. His views were Presbyterian, but he became known in the 1640s as an Erastian, arguing for overall state control of religious matters. In these exchanges the CofE became more like a brutal Roman Catholic Church in ways they would dictate their desires by persecution, such as fining William Prynne who being fined £5000, losing his Oxford degree and then sentencing him to life in prison in 1634 for writing against the theatrical plays of the times.. seen then as a insult against the queen, in 1637 he was re arrested and ordered to have his ears cut off. He eventually was imprisoned, later released in 1640 by the Long Parliament and was later apart of the Civil War, but having the disagreement with Oliver Cromwell, in that he opposed the execution of king Charles II. Later released when king Charles II was restored to power. He was one that, in a sense, who got off lightly compared to previous notable puritans such as John Penry (1593): who was a Welsh Puritan, one of the leading figures behind the "Martin Marprelate" tracts, these were satirical,seen as radical publications attacking the hierarchy of the Church of England. He was hanged at St Thomas' Waterings in Southwark on 6 April 1593 and graduated to glory.

So as you can see above the long standing fight for education for all by the way of those who many these days call science deniers, foolish, uneducated and sadly much more. So let us talk about the educational reform, also fought for by believers who believed that all man and woman should have reading and writing par for the course. Yes, I said woman for the bible does not make woman less, in fact it highlights the oppression of women in history by those who were non believers. Ok, I'm getting off course now, we can make another blog about, Woman of the Bible.

So let us see how education transformed, we had the Puritans who believed all should be able to read in their own language the bible and any other documents. Let us head over to the other side of the pond to where many Puritans and Separatists fled from the UK. While it is an amazing history about the Mayflower and Plymouth rock, we shall talk about the moments after that. So in the year of 1620 the Pilgrims founded Plymouth Colony, while later on with a larger relocation of Puritans founding Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1630. The first Puritan schools in the US formed in the 1630s in New England, designed to teach children to read the Bible. The earliest known school was the Boston Latin School, founded in 1635. This school was shortly followed by Harvard College in 1636. By 1644, towns like Dedham, Massachusetts, authorized the first taxpayer-funded public school. This was not a centralized or federal tax but a local payment set up to help the Puritan community. Many of the earlier schools known as "dame schools" were led by women in their own homes for children ages 2-5. Harvard College which for some years I had thought it was founded by John Harvard, but this is not the case. The college was voted on by the Great and General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and first known as I know, "New College" makes sense. The college was renamed in 1638 to Harvard College to honor the first benefactor Rev. John Harvard, a Pastor who bequeathed his library and half his estate to the school. It is the oldest educational institute in the United States, and was intended to train clergy for the Puritan commonwealth, initially opening to men seeking a liberal arts education with a focus on divinity. But let me not think about what has happened to this once great beacon of light.

So lets fast forwarding to the 1800's we meet characters that in themselves would be called antichrists, why this name, well they truly looked to hate what Christ has truly done for the world and wanted to tear down the belief in a Holy, Righteous and Just God, to once again make their own institutions and religions based off, not truth but the impossibilities of man's views. Who might I be talking about, well it's hard not to talk about things today without hearing the names Charles Darwin and Karl Marx's, who are to blame for today's chaos of racism, feminism, socialism, fascism and the turning of bright educational institutions into ideological camps. Interesting that these men would say that christianity is controlling the minds, yet there is nothing in christianity that is or says control the minds, but to actually free the mind from enslavement. Yet these two men said the bible enslaved people... there later colleagues of the 1900's would go onto say the scriptures is like an opium that makes one feel good and they would then propagate that what man offers is the freedom of the mind... is that so, yet they bash into your head, the young people's minds the ideology of Marxism and Darwinism. Karl Marx's while propagating his socialist ideology into the world with his book "The Communist Manifesto" and Darwin's racist ideology of "Survival of the Fittest" in his book "The descent of Man" leading to the world of evolution and that we came from monkeys, with absolutely NO facts, just lies and even today pushed in schools that you have gone too, that your children are going to. Yet science says we are so far from being anything like Chimps, not even close. So if science denies it, then why would you? Why, because you've been brainwashed, that very thing they claimed the Bible did to you. It's very true, IDEOLOGIES' DO HAVE CONSEQUENCES and they are detrimental and will lead to certain death.

By the 1950's the world had been infiltrated, brainwashed into believing the Bible was enslavement and that the new religion of man called evolution was freedom of mind. All the while they were getting you into classrooms and forcing it into your brain that you are nothing but a monkey, that you came from primordial slime and that the God of the Bible was not true, validated by "science of man". Yet, the Bible says exactly where we came from, why we live in this broken world, lessons, history and the most important fact... that God had a plan to save us all from our sinful ways through the death and resurrection of the Son who is the Lord Jesus Christ. How can it be possible for a world that is full of fallen sinful man to get better, when man is broken... how can an imperfect broken sinful man make things better? That's another impossibility, wow man likes the ideology of the Impossibility. You see the Bible explains the true wonder that you truly are, for you were made in the image of the One True Living God, made for His good pleasure and for His glory. We weren't designed to be something in nothing, no we are designed for a purpose, a perfectly designed purpose to worship the Creator who gave us life. You may decide to run from this idea, to say you know man's ideology is the truth despite no proof.. in fact the proof is in favor of a Creator. But I will say to you, I can not force you and only tell you about the truth... and surely the truth will set you free.

By the 1960's the governments in the UK and the USA took full control over the one educational practice that gave a fear of God, morals and truth while prayer and bible reading were normative, the new atheist religion would break it and say we are liberating you from biblical slavery. In 1962 (Engel v. Vitale): The US Supreme Court ruled that a state-written prayer in New York public schools had violated the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, making school-organized prayer unconstitutional and by 1963 (Abington v. Schempp): The US Supreme Court ruled that school-sponsored Bible reading and the recitation of the Lord's Prayer in public schools were unconstitutional. After this schools changed and the full war on the mind began, knowing man is fallen into a sinful state, how difficult was it to corrupt those that are already born corrupt. Then we pop back over to the other side of the pond to the UK where The School Standards and Framework Act of 1998 requires state schools to hold a daily act of collective worship. Despite the law, many schools have not complied with the Framework Act for decades. It is not "taken out" legally, but in practice, daily Christian prayer and Bible reading ceased in most secular state secondary schools by the late 20th century, becoming less mandatory in practice and incredibly parents have the right to opt their children out of these sessions. So lets get this straight, the US built on a Christian foundation makes it illegal, while in the UK by way of indoctrination that we all came from nothing So by decades of evolution and communism propagated into the British society slowly corroding the mind from one being made in the image of God and wonderfully made, to you are nothing. How will this turn out in generations to come, well guess what, we live in it now and how does it look?

The 2020's have been a new all time renewal of bad behaviour from "icons" to politicians, all the way down to the regular person. What did Richard Dawkins and his elk think they would make, a society of wonderful and caring people. How could that be, how could the so called creatures from the slime, that came from nothing be anything worth being. So in my conclusion, we were blessed in the "west" because of the beginnings of the true enlightenment of Christianity, hijacked for sure by these that were truly of the synagogue of Satan. But even with this force of darkness, we have thrived in a more relatively peaceful, moralistic and caring society. But sad to say, at the very same time understanding man's love for sin of pride would once again bring itself to destruction. Oh I am not saying the world ends tomorrow, but it will not have the same level of light that it once had, and the dark will become greater before the return of Christ to reign in this earth, for He truly reigns now. Let me say, you are wonderfully made in the image of God, you are loved by God because He said so in John 3:16, so much so He gave His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to be born perfect and blameless unlike us, so that He would go to the cross on His own will to show love to the Father, by being on that cross in our place so that instead of us, He would take the wrath of God that we so deserved for our sins (Romans 3:23 & Romans 6:23).

While we still have the sun coming up in the morning, and the Son of Man has not returned as of yet... see that this is His patience and Longsuffering for us as man to cry out to Him, to tell HIm you believe in the redemption that Jesus Christ died on that cross for me, that He paid it all on that cross "It is Finished" and that you believe He has risen as the eyewitness testimonies and the empty tomb prove. Do as Christ said, repent "to turn away from" your old self and be born again (John 3) and deny yourself, and carry your cross in faith and you shall have eternal life. I pray this for all who read, for the time is short as we pass through this world which shall be gone one day, but He will remain and so will you if you believe, repent, and follow the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ today.
