"Gagging on a Knat, and Then Swallowing a Camel."

From Chalcedon Blog. Wine drinking is not fobidden in scripture. But every aspect of government schooling violates multiple commandments and directives from the Lord. There is nothing the government schools even try to do, let alone do well by the standard of God's Word. We don't understand that humanism is "THE" false god of the day to rise up against the Lordship of Jesus Christ. That we don't understand that the Kids are taught to serve this foreign God and are trained to look at every aspect of life in a manner that is in direct opposition to Our Lord speaks of judgement on us. I actually think I am not being strong enough.

Southern Baptists Still Mulling Over Public Schools by Chris Ortiz

The Raleigh News & Observer featured an article in its Lifestyles section entitled "Baptists turn from public schools." I really wish people would get the story straight. The Southern Baptist Convention is slow in turning on the public school issue. In fact, they're still quicker to vote on whether an elder can drink alcohol. In June of last year, USA Today reported...

Southern Baptists won't back public school pullout
Leaders of the Southern Baptist Convention refused Wednesday to support a resolution urging the denomination to form a strategy for removing children from public schools in favor of home schooling or education at private schools.... Also Wednesday, the SBC unofficially barred members who drink alcohol from serving as trustees or members of any SBC entity. The ban, part of a larger anti-alcohol resolution that was easily approved by delegates, was proposed by Jim Richards, executive director of the Southern Baptists of Texas Convention. While stopping short of officially preventing drinkers from serving, it "urges" that no one be elected or appointed to
SBC offices if they are "a user of alcohol."

There you have it. They'll make a decision on whether a church leader can drink a beer, but they won't even allow a vote on whether Southern Baptist children should attend a godless public school. This is what our Lord refers to as "gagging on a knat, and then swallowing a camel." It's the height of phariseeism...

...It's politics folks--plain and simple. This is why I always sneer when I hear critics refer to Southern Baptists as "fundamentalists," i.e., stalwarts of Biblical teaching. If the Bible clearly condones the moderate use of alcohol[1], and yet you condemn it; and the Bible clearly instructs parents to provide their children with a Scriptural education[2], and you do nothing; then you are guilty of the most heinous of sins. You are "adding to" and "taking away" from the eternal Word of God that you claim to believe!
