I dont think college students should be forced to take philosophy. They should have a choice between theology and philosophy.

Send them to a private school. Public schools aren't going to budge.

Today, unless a child is thoroughly prepared to accept that many people live as if the world is run by humans and think God has no power, they get caught up in the idea that humans are capable enough without any of God's help.

Reed College in Portland, Or, is famous for this. Their students are the cream of the world's intellectual crop. One man who went there for a year called them educated monkeys. They preen and strut over their IQ's, while most have absolutely no knowledge of the Holy Spirit.

Many courses in religion are useless for learning to know God better. They manage to teach religion as a secular idea, taking the power of God completely out of it.

Technically all colleges are private schools...
No, there is no technicality about it.

There are public schools, and there are private schools. Private schools do not receive regular government funding. Students can get gov. loans in some private schools, but not all.

They should go hand in hand...

Philo-love of...sophy-wisdom.

Theo-God...logy-study of.

It's the secular world that has separated the two.

Not possible, you cannot separate the two. Philosophy is an integral part of proper theology. Theology is also a part of philosophy, a small part but still.

The same people behind the main stream media bilderberg reporters and the ones behind these attempts to make the "educated" world atheists.

I don't think I would be comfortable with the Public Education System teaching The Word of God...........just saying......

Let me also say that the PRIMARY responsibility for teaching young people about God LIES with their PARENTS. Parents need to step up and DO THEIR DUTY to God and to their children.

(my thoughts)

I agree with this BUT...

that is the current school systems, if it was like in the times of Samuyl where we had righteous judges and the land was goverened by Yahweh's Instructions, (AS IT SHOUD BE!) than all would be great, they could study Scripture in school, may the kingdom of Yahweh come sooner than later!
