So, What is the difference? It could be a Tribal thing.

…. Really?….. What is the big difference between a Secular Educator/Teacher and a Missionary Educator/Teacher? Let us Critical Think together. Using both facts and the truth, for reasoning with each other. (Acts 18:4). I believe that we should start with a very simple question. Just think about this: If an Educator/Teacher points a student towards a Philosophy or a Philosopher that is diametrically opposed to the teachings of God; then, what kind of Educator are they? What would you … call yourself? And, if it is presented with an unusual amount of glee and excitement, that someone actually displays they take great Humanistic Pride in (pointing/directing) people towards a polar opposite direction, that leads away from the teachings of God. What would you consider this to be? I ask the question, would this be considered, Righteous or Un-righteous? Holy or Unholy? Granted, this is spoken from a {Biblical} thinking perspective of the Old Ways (Tribe of Jesus). Therefore, The Bible, is a powerful Tribal Document of Great Value. Just using a combined {Biblical thinking merged also with Critical thinking}, I would have to say, that if one, is a member of the (Tribe of Jesus), and thinks from a Tribal perspective, it would be the latter! It is Un-Holy! But, to be very fair, say (you are not of this Tribe) and, you can’t even comprehend thinking with a {Biblical perspective}, …this could be a bit of a challenge for you, to form a conclusion about. But, know… this is Truth, … that the only real difference between these two groups, (two different schools-of-thought); has to be only this, It takes into account, that a Missionary Educator, is one who teaches his people (Tribal Truths). And that Truth is that only God and not man, is the author of TRUTH. And God is the one, who decrees deep moral things and not man, because man is not God. In schools there used to be some important ,”Tribal Truths” that were taught. Remember, “The golden rule”, “Treat others as you would want to be treated” … well, it came from here, (Matt 22: 37-39) & (Luke 6:31). This is not taught anymore. Why? …Does it have a dried up old fishy, Tribal morality smell? Is it somehow now bad, for someone to have personal, traditional, or hold to their own cultural: Morals, Norms, or Values? We must answer the question with simple observations. Take morals, it is evident that (in all state Schools). Morals, Norms, and Values are no longer taught, encouraged, or even expected of anyone. Is this good teaching? It almost sounds like its secular Politics, or Business. This is a very post-modernist view. Okay, so this is very much an out with the old, in with the New Ways difference. But, what are some possible common similarities that exist? There are similarities even if overlooked. All types of Educators and Missionary Educators alike teach, Literature, Music, Culture, History, Science, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Math, etc. However, for Missionary Educators, they are also the teachers of something called Wisdom of the Old Ways. Missionary Educators teach the other subjects, and still respect the identity of God as they teach other subjects, they still teach “The Golden Rule”, they direct one to take God and His ways into account; yet, they force nothing. Teaching Wisdom. Learning the Old Ways. This is for helping develop, a form of overall well balance in a student. Other cultures also teach in their Old Ways! And for Missionary Educators, they also (teach those of their Tribe, and those who wish to be adopted by their Tribe this:) – Morals, Truth, and the Wisdom of the Old Ways, they also encourage a pathway into to the presence of a loving Creator. (John 3:16). The knowledge that God is the author of truth is just a part of all Missionary Educators that will never be extinguished. Isaac Newton, Johannes Kepler, Galileo, John Maxwell, Michael Faraday, Gregor Mendel, Louis Pasteur, and even Descartes, etc. Not such bad company, I guess? Some good men that were members of (the Tribe of Jesus)!

Hear the words of Pasteur, describing multiple, good, (schools-of-thought), developed in a person …as having, and holding on to ideals.

Pasteur left this world with these words … “Happy the man who bears within him a divinity, an ideal of beauty and obeys it; and ideal of art, and ideal of science, an ideal of country, and ideal of the virtues of the Gospel.” These words are graven above his tomb in the Institut Pasteur.

Now, it is an undisputed fact, that some Missionary Educators, in our most recent past were conscripted to do questionable things by misguided government entities. I think, government is still doing misguided stuff today, using the Secular Educators as well. It has been said, in the past by some family members, that I am a portion, Native American. If true? I hold no bitterness to Missionary Educators, only forgiveness. Oh… I got major issues with the governments unconstitutional over reach. So, why am I not bitter with educators? This is why, I know that more often, all Educators find they have little, or no voice, or choice in what and or how they are to teach materials. Especially in todays post-modernist education system; and in this system, some can only repeat what is prepared for them, and just pass along information. The point here is this. These governments that are drifting away “from God”; often seem, to have a deceptive, demanding, and bazar selective agenda. They are also, drifting away from our Old Ways values, traditions, culture, and passed down generational beliefs, and faith. Native American cultures, and other cultures, found their own faith, values, traditions, under major govt. attack. Today Christians, are now in the same boat, finding their own faith, values, traditions, and culture under attack. It was never right when generationally passed down, spirituality, values, tradition, and old ways, of any: group, tribe, or clan; is found to be “something that is to be removed from society” and in a violent manner, to be forced, by a government entity, to be made to surrender this? The Old Ways Wisdom! This is why it is important to keep government out of our culture, faiths, traditions and life. And also, religion out of Government. To be clear, with the Missionary Educators of the past; specifically, who were they? Only the Educators of that present day time. It is pretty clear that they were being used by a select agenda, designed by our own government in some anti-ethnic, social engineering state program. Joel Spring touches on this. (Joel Spring). I say this, not as it’s a political or a personal pet diatribe, this is a viable fact, and it is visibly taught in every college education track or series of classes. And it is also taught, by select Christian groups, that are returning to the Old Ways, that now see what was going on, boldly admitting, that they themselves, (Christian Educators), were used by our own government in (Social Engineering) endeavors. This is a Truth that most Christians must come to terms with. And there is a Critical Truth that all peoples, need to come to terms with as well. The “White Mans” Christian churches were founded by Jews and the adopted in ones called (gentiles)! and Not in Europe! This is common knowledge! The “White Man” Christian churches, did not pool their money up, and initiate the “Louisiana Purchase“; that displaced 14 out of 16 Native American tribes. This is also should be common knowledge! This was the Actions of the “White Man’s Government” The Executive Branch to be exact. They, “The Executive Branch“, sometimes think, of themselves as a Pharaoh sitting in a great grand place. This was governments agenda and not all “White Men” agreed. Many of the white men tried to disagree, and stand up to this. This is a Historical point. And in 1859, a Native American parable was put into print, “Speak with Fork tongue” this was good discernment back then, and is good discernment today. When describing the governments misguided deeds, and the deeds of the conscripted, New Ways Christian Educators. There exists a big difference between the Old Way teachers, and New Way educators. A Teacher, is one that shares knowledge and instructs in the Old Ways, knowledge, past traditions, Wisdom, culture, and faith. However, a teacher, that is just a “New Way educator”; only gives directions, of what government has directed them to do, and therefore, can only give directions in this New Way. This is prevalent, where only government provides, or allows for, and determines the manner, in which materials are to be instructed. A Old Ways teacher, knows in their very soul that they are teaching Wisdom, from the ancestors, and from past generations. They know what and how, to teach and create materials for this instruction. Other Tribes also know this. A New Way educator, is given approved materials from government institutions, for merely distribution. Will the government allow Native Americans to become teachers? Or must they first be tested and stamped approved? And shaped into a verifiable educator? This verification is govt. required, so that (the government) is convinced, No Old Ways are retained or will be instructed? Will government allow Christians to become teachers, or must they also, first be tested and stamped educator approved? In-order to make sure, that (the government) is convinced, No Old Ways are retained or will be instructed by them either? I find it very ironic, that Christian religious educators, once used as bad pawns by own government, are now finding out for themselves that it is all about the governments de-constructive planned agenda of ridding society, of all the Old Ways! Wake up Christians, use your Old Way discernment, your tribe is the “Tribe of Jesus“, and yes, it’s called “the Church“. Now, I can’t speak to another tribe, I have no voice there, I will speak where I have a voice within my own tribe. The Church of Jesus, Tribe of Jesus, wake up! Because, this time “fork tongue” government is at work against you. Hope you will learn something from it! Now feel the deep cuts yourself, the sting of the double edge sword. (Luke 6:31). And maybe now, you will actually learn and consider following Old Ways footsteps once again. (Jeremiah 6:16-20). Remember Jabez from our Old Ways? (1 Chronicles 4:10) Why do you continue to cause other people so much pain? This is against the Old Ways! Question, is it because you fail yourself, to walk in the Old Ways? That you behave so badly? And yes, at the reformation, the tribe of Jesus, the “Church” tried to create a separation of Church and State. However, …dudes … look at the Native American tribes. See the past suffering? Look at Europe, and what unbridled Pharaoh government did to the Jews. Look at what is being done Today! And around the world! Clearly … you failed miserably at keeping Church and State separate. Government has always wanted to do away with everyones Old Ways. I don’t know why? … When, the Old Ways point to God, our Great Spirit. John 4:24. Wait a minute? … the Jews had 12 tribes, the Cherokee have seven clans. Ex: Paint, Wolf, Bird, Blue, etc. Explain yourself Christian? If you are a clan, (extended family). What is your clan name and your clan responsibility? This should be Easy, … we became part of the (Tribe of Judah) adopted in by the clan of (The Lion of Judah). Our responsibility is to be Hunter/Gatherers, of the Lost Tribes people. Including myself, ALL in this Tribe, have been found by this Tribe, welcomed with love, and adopted into this Tribe. Anyone without a Tribe, Lost, Persecuted, Ostracized, or feeling Abandoned, may they find rest and home here. This is the Way! Matt 8:10-14. We have been the clan of The Lion of Judah for 2000+ years, and even before that, if you account for ancient prophecies. This is based on The Old Ways, observations, History, and also Scriptural facts. Government is today, still waring against the Church and the Free peoples. Anyone that carries and instructs in the Old Ways, are a serious threat against governments control over society. The Old Ways teach this … that government, and also man’s established institutions, is not our provider. Thats right, Nope, they are Not your “Alma Mater”, The meaning here, is this, an institution is Not your sustaining “mothers milk”. It is time for the Warriors of the tribe of Jesus to Stand up in the Old Ways! Remember who sustains you! El Shaddai – The All-Sufficient One! Shake off the Master. The Bad School Master, because it is a clearly, a bad school-of -thought. Matt 6:24. The reason I am standing is because, I will not belong to any portion of the Tribe of Jesus that has forgotten about the Old Ways. And hides in fear among people and become wolves! Jude 1:4, Jude 1:11-13. The Old Ways should be written on our hearts anyway to prevent our stumbling. (Romans 2:28-29). Go check out what Van faith is about! Now, this is not new to Critical Thinkers, that government does this kind of social engineering. I still have my college history and educational books that validate this is taking place. This level of social engineering is designed to destroy the Old Ways . They did it to the brother Native Americans, our brother African Americans, to the Irish Americans, to the Chinese, against the Jews, and many other groups, including Japanese American citizens during WWII. Most governments all around the world do this stuff. They have ways of using “select political tactics” to get what they want. Today, the Chinese Government is doing ethnocide on the (Tibetans, a video) and the (Uyghurs), a Muslim predominate ethnicity. Do we still believe it really was the simple (Educators) that put the Native Americans on the “Trail of Tears” or do we have what it takes, to admit that it was actually the Executive branch of our own government? Do the research (Click Andrew Jackson, Trail of Tears). Again not all “White Men” did this stuff. Some still walked in the Old Ways like David Crocket. They knew better. This was evil Greek/Roman based Merconian thievery of land and possessions, This was just un-righteous greedy, grab, take system. Wanting more, it is an, introduced love of Materialism. It was not the Old Ways Teachings, of the Tribe of Jesus. John Passmore, argued with Lynn White over his “White thesis”; Passmore, an atheist, stated the teachings of Christianity was not the sub-verbal evil religion. Instead, the sub-verbal, evil religion (School-of-thought that brings destruction on people, appears to be of Greek Philosophical origin.) This only confirms the writings of St. Irenaeus some 2000 years ago. This kind of humanistic horror happens in countries where faith in God and yes, other faiths are being de-constructed and personal freedoms are waning. Where an ordinary man is permitted to act like a Pharaoh, these social engineering agendas, have their ways of pressuring people including (Educators) into delivering forth the results, that they are trying to engineer! There is actually a real term for this, when religion uses government as a tool. It is called (Sacralism). But, what is the term when government uses religion as a tool? I don’t think the term is allowed to exist, other than just governmental over reach! And these words don’t exist on wikipedia! Wow, that is telling right there, not even allowed on wikipedia. What someone trying to hide? There was a time in Church History, when an attempt was made during the actual reformation, to fix this, this was an attempt to separate the govt. from our cultural beliefs. In order to prevent power grabs and pressure; from their insatiable desire, for unbridled social control. Thomas Jefferson coined, “Separation”, phrase in 1802. In an effort to keep government out, of our many cultural and personal beliefs; but, apparently it mattered little, it has really not happened as of yet, government is still at work in this area today, by attacking all the Old Ways of many cultures and peoples!

It is bad science, if you forcibly choose to use only the experiment data you like; because, you inherently will then manufacture the desired results you want. And this might statistically produce the results …that you were wanting to see. (But seriously, I don’t call that science) and forcing Educators to do govt. bidding and only teach govt. agenda? (I don’t call that teaching).

See, many things that were directed by our own government, for the (Missionary Educators) to do, for the same govt., were in strong opposition to Christs teachings, against Biblical teachings, and also against the foundational teachings of both Old and New testament. Against the Old Ways! This is also evident to anyone that reads/researches the teachings of Jesus. So, why did (Educators) fall for these “deceptions” I think it was by listening and trusting in the “Fork Tongue“, or what government is saying that it wants, instead of listening to ones own personal internal convictions? Start Listening, once again to the Old Ways! Because, I think governments know just how to manipulate people. Using things like, loss of govt. aid, mandates, tactics, resources, funding, intimidation, etc. To push their own agendas. This pushes the really good people, (Educators of all types), into doing things they would not normally do. Going against the Old Ways! Today it is, just the {You do as we say, or we cut out (X-amount) from the school funding that is needed} See it, for what it is! It is just a continuation of the grand game, a chess move. This is just a sign, that same Old government tactics are still at work; only working on a Newer generation of Educators now. I ask, is it is this New generation, that are the ones doing the questionable stuff? Pointing us away from the Old Ways? Consider this, by asking the questions: have I myself, seen government involvement? Have I been conscripted by the government? Are Educators being directed by an agenda? Ask yourself, can I really say No to stuff, or object to some things that I fundamentally disagree with teaching? Do I have a voice within my own discipline/field that includes the Old Ways? If I have a concern, can I express it? Would there be any consequences if I were to speak up? Or, am I simply just picking up, where history left off? {Just more Jesus Tribe Biblical think} Really, what are we doing, … swaying in the wind? (Matthew 11:7) Is the state religion of Secular-Humanism/Post Modernism, now the New Agenda, that exists as a New Ways school-of-thought against the Old Ways? I believe that Descartes would possibly say, if you only give students an incomplete data set, how will they be able to come to any reasonable conclusion? Therefore, without allowing for any of the Old Ways to be shown or mentioned, young minds are only being steered or left to drift down a flowing river(without a paddle) that in-turn allows for governments desired conclusion to be the result. Every culture has a form of some type of faith. Every culture has traditions to be preserved. To deny any culture its faith, and to allow only, a (State Approved) anthropogenic Secular-Humanist faith, denies all cultures of their freedoms to a faith, traditions, and culture. Return to The Old Ways.

Now, we should not teach what we ourselves don’t believe to be true. Before entering my home state. There is some un-documented stories, or passed down hearsay in my lineage, on my Great, Great Grandmothers side, supposedly, there is Native Creek American blood. On my Great, Great Grandfathers side is, a small bit of documented, Irish blood. (I know that he came over here sometime just before the great potato famine. Some of this can be substantiated by fact). Here is where it gets blurry. Before entering our state around 1791. Presumably another ancestor met up with the on going typical and Irish Persecution? The O’ was deliberately dropped from our last name. This was an attempt to disguise the Irish connection. He was a trapper who fell in love with someone who was also persecuted, but a “experienced survivalist” a Creek Native American? For survival, persecuted people and groups, find/cling to each other for love and support! Everyone human seeks out love and a solid relationship. Presume-ably, they were married, and she became a valuable life partner? As stated, presumably they did life! Historical Archeology, however, is based on finding Historical documentation. There is far more evidence, “Historical Documentation” to support Jesus than there is tangible facts in my own genealogy beyond 1791. (See this evidence of Jesus if you like). And regardless of faint genealogical evidence, The plausibility and teachings of this passed down story holds value to me. I believe that those people with strong differences can still partner together, extend grace, extend acceptance towards one another, show patience, show kindness, do life, and make a difference in community. How?… By finding humility, compassion and showing grace towards one another. This means all people. (Jesus taught His disciples this (1 Cor 13: 4-8) This was radical teaching at the time and Jesus suffered because of it, was persecuted for it. Irregardless, of our many differences in appearances, races, upbringings, cultures, and even traditions. We can Do life!… Likewise, I believe that all of the people who have lost Tribes, been abandoned, the children, men and the women, have a “right” … to do life. Lean in and listen, as the Hunter/Gathers share the hope of the Old Ways Wisdom, to hear the life words of Jesus! (John 13:34-35) Who was “No Fork Tongue“.) He walked in the Old Ways. hmmmm…. this was radical. It still is! Jesus was a Radical,….who was Persecuted for loving all, …not hating, ….Then, only to be put to Death! So that we lost people, all of us, can…….receive life, be adopted into a Tribe, and Do life together!

I have a special fondness for Educators in general. I have a Physical Science/Physics background, a Teaching background, and a Biology background; but eventually, I decided to simmer down and focus on the land. I specialized in an Ecological/Biological direction and I became a Wetlands Biologist. I am still a teacher at heart. Yes, very much…. I went to a School of Education, took history of education, childhood development, Sped 2000, etc. I did my student teaching in two local public schools. I worked in the public school system, and I worked for five years in a Special State School. I was given a small building to transform, seven classrooms. With more classes located elsewhere on campus plus two more classrooms at another State school. That was eleven classrooms total. I had 35-40 minutes to commute between the two state schools, We had to prepare all the classrooms. (I shared all of this work with a Co-Teacher, a pure blessing). We had to prepare approx. twenty five days of lesson plans in advance each month, these were due a week before any classes were to be held. I am quite comfortable teaching. That is what we both did, not educate/instruct what we were told based on government requirements. We followed minimal guidelines that kept us from trouble. Lol. We taught alongside, the Old Ways, and we witnessed amazing results. I will never call my self an educator, I prefer to be called a teacher. And I know this: any Missionary Educator/Teacher will partner with, any other (Educator/Teacher) right here in this….. Where there exists common ground, and it has to be found in this one statement: “That men and women of this world, are in No way the gods of this world or, that a persons simple Egotistical opinions/ideas are also in No way, a divine knowledge”, it’s only just plain knowledge or thought. – But for a the Missionary Educator, it is clear, that both children, teens, and even adults should be instructed, that “only God is God, the author of Truth” and not any man. a Missionary educator, has to know and believe this, and teach this. Or guess what will happen, a humanistic wild, deranged, spastic, mad little creature will arise. And, of all the false gods, that have ever been accused of being just that, a false god; This will be one little pop up god, that will walk around, unlike stone, brick, or wood…. he will be verbal and mobile, he will walk, and talk, and step forth. And you will see that a Pharaoh, has risen again among you, and he will enter back into the god equation with glee. Possibly to take up position in the Executive Branch, or maybe even worse. But, only this time, possibly, doing just a bit more harm, including some real unrepairable societal damage? Society doesn’t need a deluded, immoral, wisdom-less, person in power destroying more Old Ways. It is a peculiar thing we do. It is a peculiar thing to me, that it took an (Atheist) Friedrich Nietzsche to warn us about what will inevitably happen, by removing and replacing God, with just a man. When men think they have replaced God? What will they do? Now believing of themselves, that they are a little god! …If we (Educators of all types) simply ignore this possibility, in some sad, mad, rush to teach the in the now, New Way. We should at least ask ourselves, what are we actually inviting to happen to ourselves here? If some choose to ignore this, and teach that No real Truth exists, and Morality is just a relative concept, then someone will step up (just like a little god). It has happened before. They may start believing that they themselves have the mandated right to dismiss all morality, remove all freedoms, remove and relocate lives, just like you know who …Andrew Tri-star Jackson! What have we learned? Because, again they will just act as the moral decisions maker? that believes morals don’t exist? What if they, with out any morals enter the Executive branch? again. Think it has happened before it can easy happen again if we teach this as a personal right, to just do as will towards others . I wonder then, what am I thinking? I just might be right, when I consider the protective & corrective Old Ways…..which asks us, to stand up, …because, are we no more …. than swaying reeds in the wind? (Matthew 11:7). Therefore, my hope is this, that the Missionary Educators and the (Educators of all types) can find a Common Ground here and start standing, teaching together, and considering. …. The very corrective power found in the Old Ways!
