Most decent people in our world today take seriously the physical threats to our children and grandchildren. Abuse, terror, bullying, sex trafficking, abduction, and so forth are so prevalent in our world today. I have a friend who was so passionate about this that she became a prosecutor just to put away the "bad guys" who threatened our children.
There's another type of threat that we often think about, and that is what our children are being taught in school. This type of threat poses different kinds of risks to our children, the risk that their mind is polluted and contaminated in ways that deceive them and steal their joy.
I recently learned that a prominent education course on "The Theory of Knowledge" teaches that knowledge comes in 8 ways: language, sense perception, emotion, reason, imagination, faith, intuition and memory. These look reasonable and the students learn them because the teacher requires it. BUT, do these line up with Kingdom principles of knowledge? What happened to "revelation"? "conscience"? Is emotion a way to know or a response to knowing? Regardless of how benign a threat like this course appears to be, if its wrong, then the kids are at risk.
Many parents and students may not know whether this is true or not. So how do kids and their parents KNOW the truth about KNOWING? Does it matter? Is there an alternative available for parents and kids to find out?
