Parents Fuming as Texas Schools Let Gideons Provide Bibles to Students

Before you read the artical below by Fox News, let me tell you why they allowed the bible to be put into the school.

In the KJV (King James Version) of Romans 13:1-3 it says, " 1: Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2: Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3: For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same."

In the Gideon Bible the words of verse one ( higher powers} are replaced with the word Government.

This is a letter to the Church of Rome being established by Paul, formerly Saul of Tarsus. Paul in this statment is not talking about the government, but the elders of the church that are Ordained of God. Today this is not so.

You have to go back to Romans 12: 1-2 to get the context of this verse. 1: I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2: And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

And then go down a little further to see what he is talking about.
4: For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office:
5: So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

The Church that Paul started no longer remains. It was taken over by the rulers of darkness of this world. You will be hard pressed to find a church that is preaching the truth. I am a ex Baptist Ordained Minister who has not found a place that preaches truth.

If you would like more info, and Biblical Proof on this matter, watch my video's on the subject. On my page their are two on the subject. Watch video 4 and then 7 for the true interpertation of this verse.

I can assure if this was a KJV it would not have been allowed.

This artical is from FOX NEWS.

Some parents in Frisco, Texas, are fuming because their public school district allowed Christian evangelists to provide Bibles to students on school grounds, which administrators say was done to stop even more proselytizing outside the schools.

Frisco Independent Schools allowed Gideons International to display Bibles on tabletops in all 13 of the district's middle and high schools last week. Officials say it didn't violate the law, but some parents say school is not the place to be offering the Good Book.

"I was never notified by the schools that they were going to allow this. I was a little shocked," said Debbie Lutz, a mother with three children who attend schools in Frisco, about 20 miles north of Dallas.

Michael Baier, who has a son at Frisco's Lakeland High School, said that religious groups should not be allowed to offer their teachings on campus.

"If they're God-fearing Christians ... they should be giving those items wherever they worship. School is a place to learn, not a place to worship," Baier told FOXNews.com.

Lutz said she wants the freedom to raise her children as she sees fit — and without the interference of religious groups. She told FOXNews.com she worried that allowing one group to offer Bibles in the school would open the floodgates to any groups who want to reach students on school grounds.

"It does open the door for other people to have the right to hand out other stuff. And I think that's not a good door to open."

School administrators say that door was opened because the Gideons used to stand on public sidewalks near the schools and distribute Bibles to students as they went home.

That raised some alarms for parents, some of whom even contacted the police about their children's safety. And it stymied the school system, which says it has "no control over what takes place on the public sidewalks."

The Gideons are now taking advantage of a school policy that allows them to leave Bibles on a tabletop in the schools' front offices, though they're barred from interacting with students or remaining there during school hours.

A spokeswoman for the school district said that a number of materials are made available to students this way, including newspapers, camp brochures and tutoring pamphlets. College and military recruitment information is available all year long. The Gideon Bibles were made available for just one day.

"We have to handle this request in the same manner as other requests to distribute non-school literature — in a viewpoint neutral manner," Shana Wortham, director of communications for the district, wrote in an e-mail to FOXNews.com.

Wortham said that the schools did not solicit or invite the Gideons in, and when one of the evangelists tried to speak to students, administrators quickly stepped in to address the violation.

Gideons International had no comment on their in-school offerings when contacted by phone Tuesday.

Adult representatives for the Gideons have been barred by federal circuit courts from offering Bibles inside classrooms, but they continue to offer to provide them at many schools in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and elsewhere. The group, founded in 1907, has distributed about 1.5 billion Bibles in the last century, mostly in hotel rooms.

Some parents weren't troubled by the presence of the Gideons or their Bibles.

Holly McCall, president of the parent-teacher association at Roach Middle School in Frisco, said she was at the school when the Gideons dropped the books off, and they didn't disturb anyone.

"I didn't feel like [the Bible] was being pushed upon" students at the school, she told FOXNews.com. She said she didn't expect to be notified every time books or pamphlets are on offer in the office at Roach Middle. That would be like an advertisement for the Bible, she said.

School officials told FOXNews.com they would continue to review their policies, but they stressed that they had followed the letter of the law.

But for some parents looking for a neutral education in the public school system, that wasn't enough.

Lutz, whose children go to schools in the district, said she wants the freedom to raise her children as she sees fit — and without the interference of other religious groups.

"I am not atheist — I believe in God," she told FOXNews.com. "But I just don't want any religion forced on my child at school. That's why my child goes to a public school."

What paul is saying here you find in verse 14, "More bold to speak the WORD without fear" the key word being "word." To preach the word is one thing, to do so with the knowledge of missinformation is another.

This bible is intentionally geared to bring people to a certian viewpoint, as are other's. This is a tool of inslavement. The word pretence in the last verse is taken out of context in english. The greek explains it in this way;
4392. prophasis prof'-as-is from a compound of 4253 and 5316; an outward showing, i.e. pretext:--cloke, colour, pretence, show.

He is talking about men and a outward showing of the gospel for personal gain, or their own vainity.

This is a big difference from actually changing the gospel, wich in fact was not available untill long after his death, the New Testament that is.

May the Lord Bless You,

Philippians 1 (King James Version) Vs 15-18

15Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:

16The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:

17But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.

18What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.

I am sure not, as it already exist in all schools. In college around here their are classes for just those things.

I have not checked out those sites yet, but I will make it a point to do so. I believe you are right when you say their heart is in the right place. They have been sent strong delusion. The very elect will be fooled by this. My prayers are with you.

Bless you,

You are entitled to your opion, as are all of us. The shriners and the masons do alot of good works but are they correct in their worship of a worshipfull master. This man happens to be appointed from within. The gideon bible has alot of miss translations. This tool has been used fro many years to defend the gov's policy in the church. This is one of the miss translations. Good english makes bad greek, and even worse hebrew. The KJV is the closest to the greek and hebrew you can get. Even then you have to refer to the concordence and other sources to understand what you are reading.

May the Lord Bless You,

Dan

Don't throw the whole Bible out for 1 verse. Gideons are non political Christian business people who place bibles in hotels and other public places do a little research before you claim to know the motives of this group as being minions of the government.

I wish they would hand out more Bibles. Did you see how the US Army is burning bibles in Afghanistan. Maybe you want them to burn these Gideon Bibles too.

'I may not approve of what you say but I will defend to the death your right to say it'?
