U.S. Classrooms Torn Between Science and Religion
Dystopian Rebel writes "A New Jersey public-school history teacher was recorded telling his students that they 'belong in Hell' if they do not accept Jesus. The teacher, who is also a Baptist Pastor, lied later when he was asked by the school principle what he said to the students. Unfortunately for this dodge, a student recorded the teacher's 'lesson'." From the article: "The student and his parents have requested that the teacher's anti-scientific remarks be corrected in open class, and that the school develop quality control procedures to ensure that future classes are not proselytized and misinformed. They have also referred the matter for disciplinary action. No apology has been forthcoming from the teacher or from the school."
My reading and study of the Bible shows this earth to be millions of years old, which does align with science.
It all depends on how you interpret what you read. I use a King James version of the Bible for studies in the English language, but go back to the original Hebrew, Chaldee, and Greek and refer to the Massorah and Septuagint in my studies.
The earth is millions of years old and a lot of Christians know that this is what the Bible teaches, but most Christians think the earth is something like 6000 years old. This particular earth AGE is only a few thousand years old. Satan was a good guy (read it in the Bible) in the last age before he got prideful and decided that he wanted to be worshipped. Now we're in the second age. You are in a filtering process now - will you migrate over to the side of light or stay in the side of darkness? The next age will see Satan extinguished as well as all people that chose to follow him. Satan is coming pretending to be Jesus and will hoodwink the entire world population after which the TRUE Christ will return to be with those that stayed as spiritual virgins when the anti-Christ was here pretending to be Jesus. The word ANTI in the Greek language means false or spurious. Satan wants you to worship him and if he has to pretend to be nice to get you to do that, well, that's what will happen. There is a group of people that will refuse to worship the anti-Christ and these people will be persecuted by all of the inhabitants of the planet that think that Satan is the real Jesus. These are the firstfruits - the TRUE Church. These will be put on trial while Satan is here pretending to be Jesus and the Holy Spirit will speak through these people and then what is said by the Holy Spirit will open the eyes of many and they will see that they are worshipping Satan.
Hey, it's all in there. Go look for yourself.
If the Bible did not align with reality, why would anyone bother to study it?
People should look for themselves, and the key is just that; LOOKING. People that have not studied to see if the Bible is true or not on their own and rely on other people's opinions or simply blow it off will be getting just what they deserve.
Open your eyes and take a look around. Yeah, this is all an accident. Get REAL.
Particularly bad are those of the Atheist religion. Like I always say....
"I don't have near enough faith to be an atheist".
Marx was on opiates.
Well sorry you are so misinformed. The teacher is correct but not in lying about it which is where he bore false witness so he deserves to be punished somehow. Jesus said that "I am the way, the truth and the light, no one gets to the Father except through me." So there you have it. Hell is not a warm place to relax nor is it on the map - it is eternal damnation. The devil has his way with most of us and we are all sinners. His domain is only here on earth. The Father has the power over all. We must repent and turn from our sins and follow Jesus Christ, God's only Son, if we are to be redeemed. Jesus took away all of our sin BUT we must believe in Him and do our part to expect Heaven. I'm not talking about good works, etc. I'm talking about faith in the Lord. Check out the Bible if you have any doubt; it's God's Word for us to read and study.
