Sure there are many homeschooled kids that are above their age-similar peers. However, too often, parents that homeschool want to hide their children from knowledge. They want to control the information that their kids are exposed to. They think its to protect them, but in fact it is too keep them from being their own best versions of themselves. This is also why cults go off on their own.
Another reason is too keep their own family secrets from going out.

The problem with Home Schooling.
This is a great article;

" We have had letters about pathetic cases of good pre-school readers being forced through "Janet and John" Book One by rigid teachers. In these circumstances only the most determined parent can reach a satisfactory solution with the school."

new idea
It has taken me up until October 1,
2015 to realize that we have the same God as the Jews. Right? The
only difference is that we believe the Jesus is the savior and the
Jews do not. This makes us Jewish.
Afterall, he came to us to save us. To
teach us the way to live and to atone for original sin. Adam and Eve
betrayed God and this punishment needed to be meted out. Jesus
sacrificed himself. He opened up heaven so that we could go in.
But wait. Who is we? It cannot be
Christians because there were not Christians before Jesus. It was not
Christiansm promised heaven. It was the Jewish people. They were the
people waiting and the people he sacrificed for (as well as the
faithful since).
So then, the believers were able to go
to heaven with Jesus. But they were not Christians. Nor did they have
to follow the Bible because it was not written yet. The Torah was.
King David in says, Even though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are
with me. … and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever”
(Psalm 23:4,6).
Thus, it was his
faith that saved him. Noah, Abraham and Moses went to heaven without
being Christians. It was their good works.
Not their
acceptance of Jesus Christ into his life or strict adherence to the
Bible. Yes, they might have followed the religious teachings, but I
do not follow their Bible. Mother Theresa did not follow theirs. Yet
Jesus came to earth to open heaven for them.
Yesterday, I came
to a realization. You do not need to believe in Jesus to be saved.
We know that
Jesus was the fruition of the prophecy of a savior.
He
is the promise that original sin will be forgiven and people who will
be allowed in heaven. Who was promised this? It cannot be Christians
because there were not Christians before Jesus. It was not Christians
promised heaven. It was the Jewish people. They were the people
waiting and the people he sacrificed for (as well as the faithful
since). After Jesus, those faithful people entered heaven. Abraham,
Moses, King David. They were not Christians and they had not read the
Bible because they did not exist. The Torah did. King David says,
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil, for you are with me. … and I will dwell in the house
of the Lord forever” (Psalm 23:4,6).
Thus,
it was his faith in a higher power that saved him. Noah, Abraham and
Moses went to heaven without being Christians. It was their good
works. They had to not be evil.
Not
their acceptance of Jesus Christ into his life or strict adherence to
the Bible. Yet Jesus came to earth to open heaven for them.
So if only
Catholics go to heaven, so if only Christians go to heaven, then our
heroes in the old testament did not go to heaven. God would have
broken his promise to them. That leads me to believe that to get to
heaven, we only need to do good works, love one another, and love the
higher power as best as we can
Back to religion
We need to get back to following the word of God. How best
to do that? By coming into the arms of God’s religion. The one religion given
and sanctioned by God. The Catholic faith.
Other Christian sects are not. They were established by men who had no
authority to start churches on their own. The Catholic church, however, was given
that authority in Matthew 16:18 where Christ tells Peter that he is the rock
upon which He will build His church. Some try to interpret this to mean
something else, but let’s not interpret the words, but believe them.
The Catholic church then has kept a line of apostolic
succession that began with Peter through
all the bishops. In other words,
that line began with the first Pope, peter and continues today as they guide
the church as God intended ( Mathew 28: 19-20)
It does not even make sense. Other churches adhere to the
Bible, but then do not accept the authority of the Catholic church, the church
that produced the Bible. Perhaps instead of twisting the scripture, they should
go and create their own Bible. When you
follow the like of Martin Luther, you are following a man and not the word of
God. How can you say Catholics are wrong, but their Bible is right? That is putting too much faith in man and not
following the word of God.
And if Martin Luther can decide to manipulate God’s teaching
into what he decided was best, then why shouldn’t we do so today? If other
people did so and deemed themselves, Christian, then why cannot I do it? Because I do not have the authority given to
me by God. Only Peter had that.
The catholic church studied this and reaffirmed it in the
writing of the Second Vatican Council. Look it up. It will ltell you that This
one true religion continues to exist in the Catholic and Apostolic Church to
which the Lord Jesus entrusted us with the task of spreading it among its
people. In its Decree of Ecumenism, it
is explained. “…Christ’s catholic Church alone, which is the universal help
toward salvation, that the fullness of the means of salvation can be obtained.”
We know that when we turn away from God, we turn away from
salvation and what is right. The Presbyterian beliefs and the Lutheran beliefs
and the Unitarian beliefs are all different. So how do we know who is right and
who turns away from God’s wishes? By simply following the church that Christ
founded. It is the only church that goes back to Jesus. The rest, in relative
time, is new, a stepping away from the law established by God and guided by
those people succeeding Peter.
