Well you can be taught precepts and principles, then you can choose to live by them or not.<br><br>My memory of Sunday School is the attempt by flawed humans trying to pass along in their own clumsy way the precepts given to them by the author of a book of writings which as Christians we hold sacred.<br><br>Here are some of the precepts you will find in the stories of the Bible:<br><br>Cain and Abel: <b>Precept - it is more important what comes from your heart then from your hands.</b> Cains first sin was jealousy and murder was the symptom.<br><br>King David and Bathsheba - <b>Precept - regardless of our station in life, we are all flawed humans who make mistakes, but we can still be used for great things, or maybe in more modern terms "Failure is an event, not a title"</b> King David committed adultery and tried to cover it up by having her husband murdered, when exposed he repented. From the lineage of King David our Christ was born.<br><br>Joseph - <b>Precept - regardless of our situations in life, we control our integrity and God can still use us</b> Joseph was sold into slavery by his jealous brothers. For 18 years he endured slavery, wrongful imprisonment, false accusations, but his integrity never failed and he always performed his best, and in the end God used him to help save his people in a time of great famine.<br><br>There are just to many to go through, you'd need a lifetime of Sunday School to have them all told to you. 8)<br><br>Hope that helps.Tim Ruebhttp://roihunters.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1681763163737650186.post-4922424759195424752011-01-14T12:29:28.000-05:002011-01-14T12:29:28.000-05:00ok, I see what you're saying. Yeah, I underst...ok, I see what you're saying. Yeah, I understand the concept of teaching precepts, and that makes sense to me. However, I'm saying that sometimes I think the precepts are flawed. Some of them sound a bit dogmatic to me, like they're assuming faith (of a particular variety) almost as a precept by itself. In the same breath, I'm still struggling with how I think we should treat education in matters of faith and religion. Since children are fairly malleable, is it ethical to introduce a strong faith (such as Christianity)? Letting them choose would lead to all children being of the same religion as their parents (I don't know a kid who doesn't want to live up to Mommy and/or Daddy). Is this even an issue? A person can decide in adulthood (or earlier) not to follow the path of their parents; many of my own [pagan] persuasion are good examples.argent wolfwinghttp://argentwolfwing.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
