I just need a like-minded place to vent for a moment, in order to clear my head. Our family participates in a "Christian" Homeschool Co-op on Thursdays. I love teaching and expressed an interest in teaching, which was initially well-received until it came up that our family participates in Home Worship, rather than 'belonging to a church'. It was then explained that, following my application to teach, I would have to meet with a pastor at the host church to discuss doctrine and there was discussion about having to agree with "The Apostles Creed". I'm a bit bothered by this, as not only is The Apostles Creed Catholic and not in Scripture but, it's also requiring a person to agree with the Catholic (Satanic) church. Why is belonging to a church or agreeing to man-made doctrine a requirement to teach, rather than obeying Scripture and agreeing not to teach anything that contradicts Scripture?!
Moments after finding out about this, I was summoned to the classroom my 7 year old was in because he was being disrespectful and argued when, as he reported, "the teacher lied to the kids" by telling them that Christmas is "Jesus'" birthday. So, it's okay to teach kids a bald-face lie that even most of Christianity admits isn't truth but, I can't teach because I don't follow man-made doctrine? UGH!

I know that it's the world we live in and the price we pay for participating in a "Christian" group but, I'm merely frustrated and wanted to take a moment to vent while dinner finishes cooking. Thanks for being my outlet and prayers are greatly appreciated. I miss teaching but, I absolutely will not comprimise my beliefs in YHWH's word in order to be a resource for others!!!
