They don't teach verbs or modifiers in Sunday School.\n\nIf it's a joke, what about it is supposed to be funny, exactly?\n\nI have a sense of humor, and I don't get it.\n\nAt least, I don't get how it could be considered funny without it being derogatory.  In which case, it's just funny to the other side.\n\nWhich means you have to pick a side and defend it.\n\nWhich is what I thought you detested.\n\nSunday school is not where you learn about verbs and modifiers.  Secular education is supposed to do that, and apparently, they're not doing a very good job of it.\n\nAlso not humorous.\n\nHumor:\n\nQ: Why did the chicken cross the road?\nA: To prove to the squirrel and the armadillo that it could be done.

Is that how you will teach your students how to spell?

If it modifies a noun

You could try http://www.englishpage.com/modals/modalintro.html\n\nor \nhttp://www.englishclub.com/grammar/verbs-modals.htm\n\nTalking as a native english speaker, they seem pretty informative, without being too technical

They can be used as both nouns and verbs.

You are right!\n\nAnd do you know that they are teaching that languages were not created at the Tower of Bable but that they "evolve" as well?\n\nWe need to get the Bible back into the schools!\n\nGod bless

It would actually be the other way around.  The new testament is where Christianity draws its teachings from. The old testament is escentially a good place to draw lessons from, but for the most part it is agreed upon that it shouldn't be taken literally.

Even as an atheist I have to support this idea, especially when it comes to English tutoring. Anyone spending five minutes on this site realizes that we are experiencing a language crisis in this country. Spelling and grammar have become passe, leading to one incomprehensible post after another. So please, please, please speak to your pastor or whomever you need to in order to implement such a program.\n\nAnd, in the name of whatever you consider holy, take the time to explain the difference between "there," "their," and "they're."

You are correct doctrine = teaching.\n\nG1322\nδιδαχή\ndidachē\ndid-akh-ay'\nFrom G1321; instruction (the act or the matter): - doctrine, hath been taught.\n\nYes baptism is a teaching, not a doctrine necessarily.\n\nBut don't miss what Paul (God) is telling us.\n\nMove on, get into the meat of the Word. There are 80 year Christian babies, still sucking milk.

I totally agree with you about this.  Unfortunately (or not, depending on your stance) for me I was taught in a Grammar school in the early sixties.  We had the most wonderful English teacher who taught us, with great enthusiasm for the subject, the whole gamut of English Grammar.  One of her favourite sayings was, "There's no such thing as nice!! Nice doesn't mean anything, do not use the word."\n\nShe also objected to the phrase 'All of a sudden' because there is no such thing as a sudden!  Little things like that, from a teacher one likes, tend to stick and, having reached 'A' Grade in my English Language 'O' Level (the only 'A' I got!) I have found that I have become pedantic and niggly about the way English is now spoken and spelt.\n\nI am afraid I also have the unfortunate habit of labelling people who cannot spell as merely lazy!  I know this is probably a bit extreme and does not apply in some cases, but I can't help feeling this way.\n\nI correct announcers on television and radio, and sometimes find myself correcting people with whom I am having a conversation.  I have corrected and sent back Mail shots received, and please don't start me off on the aberrant apostrophe!!!\n\nI am sure the English language is fading away and in time all so-called English speaking people will be speaking a sort of mid-Atlantic shorthand. I find it sad that people cannot be bothered to try to speak and write correctly, particularly when small, ancient languages, such as Welsh and Gaelic, are bouyant and well practised through the genuine love of their people for their language.\n\nSorry to go on but this is rather a flag-waver for me and I find it difficult to stop, once started.

NO! The Bible makes it clear and give specific guidelines for the qualifications of preachers, deacons, etc. as well as the woman's role in the church

I've noticed they don't teach logic classes or ever use the word "fallacy" any time during Sunday School.\n\nThough I did pick up a tract today "disproving" the Da Vinci Code.  It was actually very convincing, but it was sort of like a book explaining why Santa Claus's sleigh has to be red and why he can only use flying reindeer as opposed to flying horses.

Them refers to unbelievers or those who are not Christians. There is great misuse of tongues in the church. If everyone in the local church speaks the same language, say english, there is no need to speak in a tongue that not everyone is going to understand. God doesn't want confusion in the church. Also if you have the gift of tongues, you will not have to learn to speak it, you will speak naturally although you may not understand it. Either the person who speaks in a tongue is to interpet what is being said or someone else who knows the interpetation. If nobody can interpet the tongue than no one should be talking in that language.  Not everyone has the gift of tongues either.

I think a bigger question or a different approach is " does it hurt the student's actions. And what religion are you talking about? If it's Christianity then how can the teaching of love, morals, respect, and humility hurt? Religious classes shouldn't be forced in school but it could be an elective.

Perhaps in an english language course.

I think the style of the language throws them.  If you are teaching, I recommend the Heaney translation.
