Society is brainwashing our children in relativistic,
anti-Christian presuppositions. From school, TV, literature and friends, they
hear truth is relative to the individual, belief in God is unprovable, morality
is a question of personal taste and it does not matter what we believe as long
as we believe in something.
Nonsense like this will become part of
the very fabric of a childŐs being if not refuted early.
Most catechisms were written before relativism
became the politically correct religion of the culture. Our children need to be
taught to counter these ungodly thought forms with rational and biblical
presuppositions.
Below are sample questions based on
Romans Chapters One and Two. Young children can learn these biblical defenses.
