Okay So Far but Watch It, Eggheads!

[Justin G]

I like much of the content I've seen so far. One thing I am concerned about is the number of you with doctorates and other such titles.


As one of Indiana's most intensely home-schooled individuals, I am worried that many of you have played too long and too closely near the fiery, dung-fueled furnace of academia.

A fair concern. I will assure you however that there are exquisite Christian universities which teach solely that information which is consistent with the KJV1611 Bible. This is evident in the fact that the liberally biased accreditation organizations will not recognize them. Sometimes they even twist conventional science so that it will conform to doctrinal standards. Even our most educated brethren are instructed with strict adherence to scripture.

I actually went to an atheistic, God-mocking institution of higher education. Was my head filled with secular nonsense? Sure. Did I rebel against it? Heck yes!

Now that I'm an engineering academic, I'm working to make Christianity not only acceptable but central to the subject. Right now, the government is trying to make computer programming a core subject in schools here and I volunteered to lead a government-sponsored committee working to form a computing curriculum for teenagers. I introduced an initiative called Bible Intelligence Beats Liberal Education which basically aims to replace the computing part of the course with Bible study. It didn't go down well.

What I do is actually really difficult. I suffered religious persecution at the hands of my university after I left ex-gay literature on the desk of a gay colleague. I nearly lost my job. You have a very one-dimensional view of things. An unchecked academic establishment has free reign to corrupt minds and turn people away from God. Christians are needed in academia to prevent that from happening.

You think I wouldn't just love to flee to Freehold? Of course I would. I'm sick of the sniggering every time I mention my faith but I truly believe I'm doing God's work. In any small way I can, I want to stop some of the brainwashing of society by secular scientists, engineers and other academics.

Hello, dear, and :welcome-sing: to God's favorite forum!

Just in case you've missed the instructions (very inconveniently placed at the top of this page), here they are again:

The introduction forum Attention Unsaved Trash: This the ONLY subforum you can start threads in. Here is where you introduce yourself. Tell us what church you go to and what your favorite Bible verse is and how you came to find Jesus.

You're welcome.

Dear Justin,

As one of Indiana's most intensely home-schooled individuals, I am worried that many of you have played too long and too closely near the fiery, dung-fueled furnace of academia.

Please allow me to assure you that it is possible to be a Christian while also being subjected to the many aspects of our society that are clearly not in accordance with God's commandments.

If parents suspect their child to have a weak and vulnerable mind, they will do their best to shield their child from the bad influences of the modern God hating population. All this guided by their Pastor of course. They will home school the child, make sure the child obeys God's commandments, make sure the child never gets access to the Internet and they will make sure the child never learns to travel long distances. All the child will ever know is God's commandments and how to do a simple job, usually in farming, until the child dies and goes to Heaven.

If, on the other hand, the child is smart and has a strong God fearing mind, a Christian education on a Christian University becomes viable. If the child is blessed with an extremely smart mind, he might even become a Pastor.

Since your parents clearly didn't trust you enough, I have to wonder how you got on the Internet as this clearly is not a healthy activity for those with a weak mind. Did your parents perhaps die? I would strongly urge you to leave the Internet and use the Holy Bible as your only source of information.

I hope this scripture (Psalm 12:6-7) will inspire you to do the right thing: "The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever."

Yours in Christ,

Pastor J.C. Manning, M.D., Ph.D.

You think people who spend thier lives in search of the Truth(tm) ae wasting time? When you die and are at the Port of Heaven(c) do you want them to look at your record of devotion and say "Nope' and have security drag you off to a Chute to Hell(r)? Or would you rather you are welcomed with open arms, wisked through the scanners and placed on a personal transport cart to your private welcoming and orientation?
While I wasted my schooling on a Masters of Organic Chemistry and a Masters of business (I was questioning God, though I went at it from behind). I wistfully imagine where I'd be today if I had not lived my youth so frivolously and full of folly.

Poor Bob. He's a victim of society's incredulity and ignorance.

Re: Okay So Far but Watch It, Eggheads!

Welcome sir...however, I'm rather concerned at you calling us "Eggheads". These are True Christian pastors, men and women, along with forum members like myself. There's a place for everyone, and until the DoF (Department of Faith) and God sees it fit to move you to a forum member, you are still considered Unsaved. Remember Romans 13:1 "Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God." and you'll be fine!
