GW Bush and both sides of the congressional aisle declared war on personal liberty and the Bill of Rights via their 'homeland security' nonsense and the American people stepped right into it.

What some of you (Lincoln, Homeschooler, Dirk Yoder) are advocating are nothing short of gestapo tactics. This is America - it is absolutely none of the government's business whatsoever what goes on in my home or anyone else's home unless there is reason to believe the law is being broken or someone is in physical danger. No government entity or agent should have access without a court issued warrant. How on earth can you justify them entering otherwise? Why is it ANY of their business?

I've known hundreds if not thousands of homeschooling families thru the years and I can't ever remember any of them ever breaking the law or anyone being intentionally injured.

Where is the world do you get the horribly misguided idea that 'state officials' have any business at all coming into my house uninvited to check on ANYTHING much less to check on my (now grown and gone) children? What is the matter with you? It isd simply NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS.

We homeschooled at our house for over 20 years and I can assure you that if somebody from the 'state' had tried to come into my home without a warrant and an armed escort they would have left sorely disappointed and probably have had their feelings badly hurt.

No 'state official' has any business at all concerning themselves with what goes on in my home (or anyone elses) unless there's a REAL good reason to suspect something. When I notified the county that I would be homeschooling each year, I wasn't asking permission -I was telling them my intentions (as a courtesy).

For someone like JL who apparently considers himself to be a follower of Christ (I don't believe that) to speak or write about the inspired words of Scripture in that way is incomprehensible. You could almost expect as much from a rank infidel but for someone to claims the name of Christ and who appears to spend 99% of their time cutting and pasting links on a good Christian website is inexcusable. I'm not offended personally - I am sickened and disgusted. I am reminded of when Peter told Simon the Sorcerer, "Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee".

Here is your exact post from the thread 'Museum To Mark King James Bible's 400th' on 9/22/11 at 3:06 pm:

"Ah, the sweet sounds of Satan, eh, John? The AV is a bloated, bombastic, version of the Bible made to sound great, including it's errors. Ah, the sweet siren song of Satan. God is plain speaking, he doesn't need artifacts to get his message across."

If I'm not mistaken the statement you made was something to the effect that the words of the AV are the hiss of the serpent. I pointed it out to you at the time you posted it. That is outright blasphemy and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. God's Word is not a toy to be trifled with or something for you to play games with. To dispute a point with facts (Gil Rugh's or otherwise) is one thing. To say something like that is another and has no place among believers. Your flippant remarks regarding the Psalms of David are almost equally as childish.

Jim doesn't know anything that Gil Rugh doesn't post online and what he does think he knows is usually wrong.

I doubt if God cares one way or the other how one dresses when believers gather for corporate worship as long as they dress MODESTLY. Sadly, modest dress is rare at churches or anywhere else these days.

I don't believe the government has any business being involved in education at all but I also understand that there will always be those who will clamor for this equivalent of educational food stamps.

Government schools are little more than free day care warehouses and humanistic initiation centers turning out little Godless statists.

It can be and IS evil because it's based on a rhythmic style that originated in the dark jungles of Africa and moved to the Mississippi Delta with the slaves and called (once in the States) 'the blues'. It was a noise up until then unknown to a mostly Christian & western culture. Elvis, the Beatles and many others adopted it, prostituted it for profit and sold it to young people. Now those young people have grown up, moved it into the churches and they call it 'worship'. It's worship alright but not of a Holy God. They even 'rap' in churches now which means they've pretty much come full cicle.
