Christians who believe the world is about it end: Do you think children should still be going through school?

If the End Times are now and Jesus' return is imminent, do you feel it's a waste of time and money for kids to be going to school and learning math, science, history, sociology etc?
It's it a waste of time to teach kids to drive? A waste of time to vote?
If you believe most of us will be dead and some of you will be taken up to Heaven within your life, what point is there in learning anything beyond how to be a good Christian?
Should you allow your child to read anything but the Bible?

You know what鈥檚 a waste of time? This question.馃槕
@Evegpt

I think it's an interesting one. But how Christian of you to enter a thread you weren't interested in responding to just to put me down馃槒

@Evegpt Why is it a waste of time when Jesus is coming in our generation?
Even if we feel he鈥檚 coming soon, no one knows the day nor the hour. It鈥檚 not the time to retreat into our homes or little groups. Our children still need to be educated even if we think it鈥檚 close to the end simply because we can鈥檛 know. We prepare them to stay or to go. Teach them about God and be prepared either way. . @Carazaa

Well i'd agree with that. But you said it would be better for children to never read anything but the bible.
...i'm getting mixed messages from you...
@Pikachu No dear heart. I said [b]You[/b]should stop all that extra stuff you were reading because it seems to confuse you and concentrate on the Bible.
@Evegpt

lol you can drop the "dear heart" bullshit because it's either deliberately patronizing or two-faced.
You can't enter my thread to call it a waste of time and then pretend to be kind馃ぃ. Surely duplicity is not the action of a good Christian? Don't be a two-faced.

Here's what you actually said:

[quote] You should stop reading everything but the Bible. It鈥檚 all you need. [/quote]

If reading the bible is all we need then why learn anything else beyond what we need to survive day to day?

I'll ask you again since you declined to answer and because it is pertinent to this "waste of time" in which you are now participating.

If you were raising a child, would you homeschool them and never give them another book or source of written information than the bible?
I said you. I didn鈥檛 bring children into it. If I homeschooled my children, they would be free to read anything that was parent approved. They couldn鈥檛 read porn for sure, Okay dear heart is out. It was just being friendly. We say that in the South along with Bless your heart. Depends on the circumstances what it means. You have called me dishonest, two faced, and a lot of rude names. We are done! @Pikachu
@Evegpt

Oh don't clutch your pearls with me, dear heart!馃ぃ
If you want to leave then leave but don't pretend it's because i have been rude to you while you have been nice to me.

I'mm fine with that clarification of your meaning. But what's the point of spending time learning all this stuff that will become totally irrelevant within the generation?
Who says it will be irrelevant within this generation? Not me. No one knows and has no way of knowing. We see the signs that鈥檚 all. That鈥檚 the whole point and why the question is meaningless. Stick it in your poke jar.. @Pikachu

[quote]Who says it will be irrelevant within this generation?[/quote]

Well i think you were just talking to a Christian who believed such.

So i think it's fair to say that while there are those to whom this question applies, you are not one of them.
I'll thank you next time to simply keep your nose out of it rather than entering the thread just to call it a waste of time.
Fair, dear heart?

[quote]Stick it in your poke jar.[/quote]

How DARE you! Poke [i]jar[/i]?! Now you're just trying to hurt my feelings lol
Fair enough. Not much going on. It takes so little to amuse me these days.@Pikachu
@Evegpt

Oh sorry to hear that. Arrested Development is on Netflix. Try that! lol
@Pikachu Why go there?
. I can watch shows about that on any of the alphabet networks.
@Evegpt
