Under Alberta’s new Education Act, homeschoolers and faith-based schools will not be permitted to teach that homosexual acts are sinful as part of their academic program, says the spokesperson for Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk.
“Whatever the nature of schooling – homeschool, private school, Catholic school – we do not tolerate disrespect for differences,” Donna McColl, Lukaszuk’s assistant director of communications, told LifeSiteNews on Wednesday evening.
“You can affirm the family’s ideology in your family life, you just can’t do it as part of your educational study and instruction,” she added.
Reacting to the remarks, Paul Faris of the Home School Legal Defence Association said the Ministry of Education is “clearly signaling that they are in fact planning to violate the private conversations families have in their own homes.”...
I have one question for my Canadian brethren! Where have we read in the news that Canadian Christians are in an uproar over this? Dear silent Canadian Christians, will you wait for your government to command you that it is also unlawful to tell your children about Jesus Christ? I fear that too is coming. What a beautiful hymn, "Am I a soldier of the cross, a follower of the Lamb, and shall I fear to own His cause, or blush to speak His Name? Must I be carried to the skies on flowery beds of ease, while others fought to win the prize, and sailed through bloody seas?"
One can't get to the bottom of Freemasonry and secret societies, (these are the footmen of the New Agers' New World Order), unless you study it to get a feel of where the info comes from and each sources modus operandi. There is just too much disinformation out there to intentionally throw off the casual reader. Chris Pinto's videos would give one a good starting point. We are not to be ignorant of Satan's devises. The RCC, Mormons, JWs, Muslims, Atheists, etc. are already deceived. "Secret Societies" are Satan's deception of choice aimed right at the church. Therefore it is crucial, in this earmark year for the "New Agers", for Christians and Pastors to get informed on what these people are up to.
My daughter came home last year with an assignment from state school to write up about homosexuality. The teacher made it very clear that nothing negative was to be said about it.
I told her that the teacher said nothing about having to write anything positive about it either.
Apparently she had the option of not doing the assignment if she so wished. My reaction was that she should do it to demonstrate that it was possible to state "just the facts ma'am". I felt that it would be a useful exercise in writing factual reports given the field of study she will be taking later on.
Anyhow she did the assignment and scored a very high mark on it. So it is possible to meet the assessment criteria without supporting or denigrating the views of others when doing assignments on homosexuality.
That may be a bit harder if part of the assessment involves value judgements on the subject but in this case it did not.
John, I don't know what you are talking about. You have me wrong on this.
I was trying to be ironic. I am sorry if I was confusing.
We had no right to steal and enslave the blacks, that was a high crime.
But true as well is that a "higher light" than scripture was needed to fuel the so-called civil rights movement.
What I saw was a opportunity to point this out when the person "Don't Lie" made the connection and tried to apply the need for a "higher light" than scripture to "free" the sodomites.
What I see is that by buying into the civil rights movement, Christians have opened up the door for this kind of argument.
Civil Rights is a sacred cow, one that is going to usher in a world of hurt very soon. Sodomites are tiring to play this card, and if they succeed, persecution will follow. I think it is time to challenge these ideas and think more Biblicaly on the subject.
Civil Rights is more about Communism than the rights of people. It is about government control.

Seeing that you don't think scripture is enough, you probably won't bother to prove your view is scripturally correct. Do you watch the news and point to a black man getting arrested as your proof? Meanwhile ignoring all the good black citizens. When you look at all the problems in America that God could judge us for do you think to yourself, no, God's really mad that we freed the slaves?!
John for Jesus wrote: Ooh, I see where this is going! Many of the prisoners, but not all of them. Who are those prisoners who's ancestors used to be under a system of slavery? YOU RACIST!

I really have a hard time fathoming the connections between Jesuits and Free Masons, The Romish Church has had a long going feud with Free Masonry, see ("Christianity" and Freemasonry, a Wikipedia article that may very well have been written by a Freemason, Oh, here in Lincoln? "96, Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz of the Lincoln Roman Catholic Diocese gained national attention when he said local Catholics would be excommunicated if they joined any of a dozen prohibited organizations, including the Masons and Masonic-affiliated organizations. That prohibition still stands, said father Mark Huber, chancellor for the Diocese. Nevertheless, Brown said he knows a number of Catholics who are Masons and apparently sees no conflict." excerpt from, Masonry in Nebr. etc..
What the Wikipedia article doesn't point out that there is active condemnation in SBC circles on Masonry, and it also doesn't point out and is plainly visible to anyone who attended a Masonic funeral, Masons believe in--Salvation by Works!!!!!! You can add them to this list,RCC'ers,Mormons,JWs.

That's a big but alright, but governments tend to be run by big but heads.

The authorities might have hard time stopping the reading the Bible at home, which states:
I Corinthians 6 9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, 10 nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and in the Spirit of our God.---NASB
Higher lite to a degree you are right about indentured servitude. God's laws on indentured servants and the moral treatment of slaves where like night and day to the whole rest of the world. The truth is though, we still have millions and millions of indentured servants- you make yourself one every time you go into debt with a credit card or to the bank.

The difference in the two issues is this: while we may harbor sin and act in a manner that is not worthy of our calling, ie slavery, the issue of homosexuality has nothing to do with what we think. The scriptures are clear, homosexuality is an abomination and what man may think about it is irrelevant.
