1Cr 6:9-10 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, [fn] nor sodomites, (10) nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.

1Ti 1:10 for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine,

HOMESCHOOLING FAMILIES CAN'T TEACH HOMOSEXUAL ACTS AS SINFUL IN CLASS, SAYS ALBERT GOVERNMENT [Excerpts] courtesy of The Berean Call

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 Defense 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."

Section 16 of the new legislation restates the current School Act's requirement that schools "reflect the diverse nature" of Alberta in their curriculum, but it adds that they must also "honour and respect" the controversial Alberta Human Rights Act that has been used to target Christians with traditional beliefs on homosexuality. "School" is defined to include homeschoolers and private schools in addition to publicly funded school boards.

McColl emphasized that homeschoolers were already included in the current definition of "school" in the School Act, going back to 1988 or longer. And Section 16, she said, "is specifically with regards to programs, courses, and instructional materials."

According to McColl, Christian homeschooling families can continue to impart Biblical teachings on homosexuality in their homes, "as long as it's not part of their academic program of studies and instructional materials."

PRIDES GOES BEFORE DESTRUCTION DVD
DVD by Mark CahillPrideGoesBeforeDVD

Want to come witnessing with me? Many have asked to tag along with me when I go out to tell people about Jesus. Now's your chance!

A friend and I hit the streets of Atlanta during one of the city's big festivals. We took a video camera and interviewed people on the streets about their spiritual beliefs.

The footage is fascinating: Conversations with people who did not believe there was evidence for a God; people who were not sure what was out there when they died; people very open about the sins they were struggling with.

One guy said he's wanted to ask a Christian these questions for a long, long time. Well, he finally got his chance!

Almost THREE HOURS of "You Are There" conversation!
So join me on this journey. See first-hand how to better engage our culture.
