Have you read the OT story of Hosea and Gomer by chance???Truthman: If you wouldn't do that, then why would you let them do missionary schooling?????
Mmmm...sorry, but that sounds like the 'real world' to me EM.Erinmarie: Not the 'real world', but the world manufactured by the teachers, principals, aides, bus drivers, school nurses etc...etc...
OK, so, just because somebody in the Bible did something, that makes it OK for everyone? If that's the case, then I'm off to build an ark.julie21 said:Have you read the OT story of Hosea and Gomer by chance???
I know of couples who were unevenly yoked and their partners have been saved...thankyou Jesus!
Perhaps a better point, but certainly not more relevant. It's completely irrelevant, actually.Redfin said:No, I'm implying that your question misses a more relevant point.
And that is your choice. Of course, the events that you outlined above are not everyday events that happen in every Public school.karenincolorado said:I grew up and attended all my schooling in a nice little suburb. I wasn't exposed to the evils of an inner-city school.
Before I entered high school I had: witnessed 2 drug raids, a girl escorted by ambulance from a school sponsored chaperoned dance because of alcohol poisoning, and walked in on a guy and gal having sex.
In high school I learned how to "safely"" have oral sex by a school sponsored sex-ed assembly.
Years later, my sister was locked in a classroom for hours while her co-workers and friends ran for their lives at the neighboring Columbine high school.
I choose not to expose my children to that.
BTW, missionaries are trained before ever going out amongst the natives.
If that's what you want to do, then go ahead. Should be fun!truthman said:If that's the case, then I'm off to build an ark.
