My other point is my own family history I have many highly educated members all who studied (and taught) latin and greek lanugages and literature in fact most of their generation learnt greek/roman languages and thought, and they are the ones who laid the foundation for our present society (all dead now born in late1800′s early 1900′s)(none had a real relationship with Christ although all grew up in the established church) so if this is the fruit of the exultation of greek/roman thought surely we don’t want to raise anymore generations to think this way.

I find most people don’t know how to think anymore (ie.1+1 =2 we don’t want 2 so we have to do away with the cause not the fruit) you learn to think by submitting to Christ (My thoughts are NOT your thoughts) humbling yourself and receiving the mind of Christ not by studying fallen ungodly nations (although if you study their fruit rather than their thought you will be horrified and already clearly see the same fruit in our own society).

Two thoughts to finish with you spot a counterfeit by being so familiar with the real (know christ and His word) and fish is really good for you but if you don’t eat carefully and remove the bones it has the potential to kill you (don’t just hoe into things that seem or other say are good, look carefully/prayerfully there could be bones).

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE continue to get the warning out as so many are deceived by this.

I have noticed this as well and it saddens my heart to see my sisters in Christ immersed in this.

Thank you

“All of these accomplishments came from a group of small city-states in ancient Greece. And yet Greek civilization also contains an element of tragedy. For all of their brilliant accomplishments, the Greeks were unable to rise above the divisions and rivalries that caused them to fight each other and undermine their own civilization.” (Western Civilization, Volume I: To 1715, Jackson J. Spielvogel)

Rome ultimately conquered Greece, but not before trying to fix them. In 196 B.C. Rome brokered the freedom of the Greeks from Macedonian rule and spent the next fifty years trying to broker a peace between the warring factions without taking direct control of their lands. This was because Rome loved everything Greek, even importing Greek tutors for their children. Rome’s love for everything Greek, and adoption of so much Greek culture was to such an extent that some historians have even stated that Rome was, in large measure, a continuation of Greek culture. Unable to fix the Greeks, Rome conquered them. Greece simply “fell” to an overwhelming military might.

I actually agree with Robin that the study of the Bible should take pre-eminence over classical education. People who have HAD that “Classical Greek education” are the very ones who most need to hear Robin’s message.
