Christian Education – A Religious Education Method

Christian Education – A Religious Education Method

First let’s start with; what exactly is a good Christian education? Would this involve only learning religious text that supports the beliefs that Jesus is God? It seems like everyone coming out of Christian high schools and colleges support Christianity with a very limited education of the Bible and worse yet humanity.

I have had the pleasure to meet quite a few adults who consider themselves to be good Christians and are the products of a Christian education. Some of these people do things that are in direct violation of their Christian upbringing and worse than that violate simple laws of the Bible like the 10 Commandments. It seems like the better Christians can justify their wrongdoings somehow through religious text.

It’s almost like they were taught that that they’re better than other people, somehow they have beliefs that were instilled in them, quite possibly from the religious education, that they need to help people, even though most of them can hardly take care of themselves.

They seem to always be looking for an opportunity to help someone in a very small way. Learn to take care of yourself and then you will be able to do a better job, teaching others to take care of themselves, instead of making your religious views, their religious views.

A Christian education almost guarantees the survival of Christianity. More and more Christians are sending their children to this Christian high school in the hopes of a better life. Following Jesus will also guarantee them a spot in heaven, what a relief. With this thinking, society has to deal with other problems like abortion, starvation, and of course the worst one of all, an illusion of the truth. Most Christians believe they are right and others aren’t in this doesn’t allow much room for negotiating.

This is a way of thinking and keeps their minds closed as fears from false prophets enter their minds. If non-Christians are talking about their religion in a negative way, it’s almost an automatic reaction from their Christian education that these people could be corrupted or influenced by demons. Has it ever entered a Christian’s mind that may be; just maybe it’s their religious leaders who are evil and its people like me who are teaching the truth. Think about this last statement before you put me in a box, with the rest of the evil Christian hatemonger.

The Christian impact on our society in the United States is getting worse as more Christian leaders are elected into the United States government. Believing that you are right and others are wrong doesn’t make you right. Hitler during World War II convinced a country that he was right and it leads them to destruction.

The Future of Education – Self-Education

The Future of Education – Self-Education

The graduate of 2020, will face a very different world to the graduate of 2009. Just like graduates in history faced new challenges, and new boundaries.

How can our current education encourage graduates that face the future, adjust to it and thrive from it?. 1. Self- Education

Thomas Edison was home schooled, his Teacher thought he was “Stupid,” so he dropped out of traditional education, and his mother taught him. This did not stop Thomas Edison from inventing the Light bulb or the Telephone. Self-Education is imperative in today’s age. An age where the internet is a cheap, and innovative option to a printed school book and examinations based on theory.

Traditional education often covers the basics, but to go beyond the basics, we have to self-educate ourselves. Something far easier now, then in the days Thomas Edison went to school, or before we went online.

We can learn “additional” skills from our own sources, that give us a plus which can allow us to excel in our work, seek opportunities and expand these opportunities. Something in an age of global competition, and less secure employment, could be the difference between earning a living, and barely surviving.

Sources are readily available for self-educators. Joining a Library, gives you access to free books, free ebooks are readily available on the internet. Languages could be learnt from friends whose main language is different to ours. Clubs, voluntary organizations and even just plain observing, educate us in ways a school book cannot. Ways that will not cost a fortune, but can like Thomas Edison, help us achieve the impossible and move forward in a World, were many people stop educating themselves.

Life is a journey into knowledge, and learning to apply this knowledge could be the difference between thriving and surviving in tomorrow’s new economy.
