Posted by Matt Markins in I was reading a blog post yesterday from Answers in Genesis on Proverbs 22:6. This passage says “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” Obviously this passage is a strong D6 passage. These are some interesting thoughts below from Answers in Genesis. If you would like to go to the original post, click here. Check it out:
Proverbs 22:6
It’s so important for believers to pay attention to this verse. Christian parents must give their children a firm foundation on the Bible and its practical truths.
But evolutionists also understand what this verse means. They want to teach children that we’re just animals who evolved through millions of years of death and suffering. Just think of the morality that goes with that!
Yet the U.S. government gives evolutionists millions of dollars to “train up children” in their anti-Christian worldview.
Some Christian parents think that as long as they take their children to church on Sunday morning, they’ll learn a worldview based on the Bible. But think about it: one or two hours in church—once a week—simply isn’t a match for five days in a public school . . . plus secular TV, evolutionary science museums, and so on.
So, evolutionists are trying to “train up a child”—your child! We must teach young people to stand on God’s Word—from the very first verse.
