Hi Tram,
Tram law writes:
As for me, I will never support religion in schools.
I can agree with that.
I can also agree with the Continental Congress that the Bible is a good book.
In 1781 Robert Aitken presented a petition to Congress offering to print "a neat Edition of the Holy Scripture for the use of Schools.
For those who question whether congress approved the printing you can find a copy of the Journals of Congress
Here.
And
Here.
Tram law writes:
Christianity teaches that only proper Christians get to go to heaven,
As you did not define your meaning of Christianity, proper Christian and religion it is hard to follow your OP.
If you mean by Christianity as those who claim to be a christian then you are probably right in your assesment.
If you mean by proper Christian as being a person who has been born again of the Holy Spirit and are living their life like Christ lived His life, yes they will be in Heaven.
But they are not the only people who will be in Heaven.
Tram law writes:
And for me, if God exists, it is only God who gets to determine who is a proper Christian.
God did set the rules and we can not change them.
John writes:
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
3:17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
These verses says God loved mankind and provided a way mankind could be saved. Jesus did not come to condemn mankind as mankind was already condemned.
God gives the only reason mankind is condemned and that is not believeing in what took place at Calvary and accepting that by believing in Jesus for their salvation.
God set no other requirements to become a child of His.
All children of God will be in Heaven.
Tram law writes:
To that end, I have to ask, why isn't Church and the home enough?
You have those in the wrong order.
The order should be home and then Church.
Because the home is in a shambles, the Church is in a shambles and our country is in total chaos.
God Bless,
"John 5:39 (KJS) Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me."
