End Public School

Exodus From Public School Begins

Right now, the exodus from public school has begun. It may be just
a slow trickle, but it will grow. Not because people all of a
sudden have become convinced that public school is a Marxist
indoctrination camp, but because it won’t be able to compete.

It costs a lot of money for public school. They waste a ton of
money, just like any agency that has little accountability while
spending other people’s money. Alternatives enabled by the
internet are going to blow public school out of the water based on
price and quality of education.

Before I had kids I never really thought much about this topic. I
went to public school, and I assumed that was the best choice.
When they changed it so that kindergarten was going to last all
day, I started looking into homeschooling.

We completed homeschooling my oldest son through kindergarten last year, and we’re planning for 1st grade. I think he is much better
off for the one on one attention he receives. We covered all the
topics kindergarteners are supposed to cover and more in only 2-3
hours per day.

My wholehearted recommendation is that you homeschool your kids. Never mind all the biblical issues that would demand parents
homeschool their kids. It is just plain old better than public
school.

Abolish The Police

Nice Bad Cops

These cops kicked abortion protesters out of the Women Betrayed rally, contradicting their own policy.
Christians keep telling me that most cops are good, and it’s just a few bad apples that give them all a bad name. Some have even numbered it as high as 99%.
But these two cops are blindly obeying their orders. They check their conscience at the door, and obey wicked orders. Even though they were nice about it, they’re still bad cops!
Where are the 99% of good cops to stand up to these two? Wouldn’t you have to concede that these two probably bring the percentage of good cops in that precinct down a few percent?

Abolish The Police, Abortion, Conversation, Police Abuse, Power Trip, Resistance to Tyranny is Obedience to God

Poke, Poke

Ray Comfort posted on Facebook, saying it’s a good idea to meekly obey police, because they have a gun. I certainly agree that if you argue or assert your rights or defy a petty tyrant, you may not like the consequences.

There were a lot of people who responded to his post; some said good things and some said bad. I went through and commented on several people’s comments, poking them with a stick, hoping to provoke a conversation.

First of all, I don’t like Facebook for conversation. With hundreds of comments on Comfort’s post, there’s no way for me to find out whether anyone responded to me unless I just go through and search. Maybe there’s a way and I just don’t know it.

Here is one such scenario:

Jason Kauffman said:

Less than 1% of the police force are corrupt. So for those of you trying to justify police brutality and make yourself a victim, you have a 99% of nothing negative happening when you do what an officer says. That’s better odds than Vegas.

I said:

Abortionists rest easy at night knowing there are no good cops.

Molly Morris said:

None? Not one? Bill please tell me you are not that ignorant. My husband is a man of the Lord. He is a protector, a provider, a Godly husband and a devoted father. The LORD put in his heart to protect and serve the people of this nation, so he became a Marine. He was again called to protect the people of our community, so he became a police officer. for you to make blanket statements about there being no good police officers is to truly disagree with God’s own plan and design for my husband’s life. If that is honestly what you believe then I feel sorry for you sir, and I will pray for you, to bring your heart into full submission to the Lord

Bill your smarter than that, unless you’re 7. Are you 7 Bill? Cause then I would understand your lack of knowledge.

Juli Adcock said:

Bill, apparently you are not familiar with how our system of governance has been set up. The sovereign power first resided with God who gave us liberty to include choosing our leaders. When the citizens of this nation do a poor job of choosing representation, laws and court rulings such as abortion “rights” happen. If you are pointing fingers at police officers, I hope you realize that there are 3 pointing back at you.

I said:

Juli said, “When the citizens of this nation do a poor job of choosing representation, laws and court rulings such as abortion “rights” happen.” That is my point exactly. We have arrived at the point where the laws of this nation are corrupt and evil. Who should we blame? There is plenty of blame to go around. But the pagan laws of this nation are enforced by police. What do you think would happen if the “Christian” cops quit checking their conscience at the door, and quit enforcing pagan laws?

Molly, Your husband is not a good cop or a good man. He enforces our evil laws by threatening people with violence. He may be saved, but he only continues in his wicked job because Christians like you all don’t know the Bible. I hope your husband doesn’t enforce laws that are contradictory to God’s law. He won’t stand before God and say he was just following orders. http://AbolishThePolice.com

Good cops don’t remain cops for very long. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3ij0e_mfWs

I messaged Molly and Juli to notify them of my comment, but I never heard anything else from them.

Abolish The Police, Power Trip

Unconstitutional Policing

The video below is an example of what I’ve been talking about vis a vis police being unconstitutional and there being no good cops. The cop in the video would almost certainly be considered a good cop by most upstanding Americans.

But he goes on a spree of ruining people’s day, and collecting fines for victimless and arbitrary crimes. Biblically, fines don’t go to the state. They go to the party that was harmed by the crime. Of course, no one was harmed in any of these instances.

Every time something bad happens, legislators are pressured to pass a new law. That is idolatry, and has made this an unfree country. If it was up to me, there would be teaching from the pulpit that this cop’s behavior is sinful, and Christians should not participate in that profession. Any member of a church who does such a thing would be under church discipline.

Is it just me or are all motorcycle cops really dorky?

Good Cops Don’t Remain Cops for Long

Good cops can’t blindly follow orders to enforce wicked laws. Most of the laws in this nation at this point are wicked laws. When a cop acts righteously, he won’t remain a cop for long, because to be a cop, you must act unrighteously.

Here’s an example of a good cop in this video. You can see how the wicked cops responded. They were embarrassed. They arrested him and fired him.

So much for good cops. How many times has a good cop stepped up since Chet Gallagher did? I seriously doubt there’s more than 10, and sadly I’d be willing to bet that most of them weren’t Christians. Many of the remaining wicked cops think they’re Christians. They must start acting righteously, which will lead to their immediate firing or face church discipline for shirking their duty to stand for God’s law.

Reject Socialism

Inconsistent Christianity

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how Christians can’t expect the culture to change without first living consistently with what we say, and with what the Bible teaches.

How can we begrudge anyone a government subsidized Obamacare plan while we receive government money for our kids’ schooling, Social Security, etc.? If we all rejected the old socialistic programs we benefit from, maybe the Lord would see fit to end Obamacare.

There’s a free summer lunch program at the public high school. I know people who take their kids there. I wouldn’t say they’re rich, but they’re upper middle class or middle class, and they are conservative Republican types. Why do they accept a government handout? I don’t get it.

Bojidar’s quote I posted ‎was a good example. Christians don’t stand up to a tyrannical pastor. How in the world are they going to stand up to a tyrannical magistrate who has much more power over us?

One aspect of God’s judgment on this country seems to be that there are few manly Christian men. They don’t go out to do evangelism. They don’t do anything of consequence. They just warm pews, and suffer through a feminine sermon on marriage advice. I pray that I would be a manly, Godly man.

In fact, I came up with a corny rhyme, but it’s just to sad to use much: “There are no men to resist like there were in ’76.”

Great Quote

Wisdom From Bojidar

bm

Referring to a Facebook conversation where someone said their pastor was saying public school is just as good for Christians as homeschooling, Bojidar said:

My rule of thumb is this: If he pulls the “pastor” card, Biblically, he is under greater judgment, and therefore the standards of logic and Biblical faithfulness are stricter for him. He can and MUST be judged harsher than those who are not pastors, and therefore dealt with mercilessly in a discussion where he shows unreasonableness and makes heretical statements. I have zero compassion for pastors who use their position to earn themselves a higher ground in a discussion.

Pastors in this country have been a little too comfortable for far too long, because the ordinary church members have not applied Luke 12:48 [But the one who did not know, and did what deserved a beating, will receive a light beating.Everyone to whom much was given, of him much will be required, and from him to whom they entrusted much, they will demand the more.] to them.

No wonder we don’t have lesser magistrates protecting us in the civil realm. We have neglected applying the same principles in the church. We need men who will step in the breach and make interposition between the congregations and their evil, tyrannical, heretical, or incompetent pastors and elders. Before we lead the way in the church in raising lesser magistrates, we won’t have them in the civil government.
