Greetings Wilma! Thanks for the response! It is certainly true that some believers do not study the Bible as they should do. :-( However, your former post seemed to be saying that you have knowledge about the Bible that theologians and ministers do not have. What is it that is 'wrong' with theologians or ministers? Scripture commands us to 'study' and to 'search' the Scriptures. Theologians or ministers are just like anyone else. There are some good ones and there are some bad ones. The good ones study God's Word and apply it faithfully. But, they must study it. Not everyone can devote a lifetime to studying the Bible, but we ought to be thankful for those who have done so. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim: Theology is "the study of the nature of God and religious truth; an organized, often formalized body of opinions concerning God and man's relationship to God." Theologians have made the study of God's word akin to philosophy. Jesus said his disciples would know the truth and it would set them free. It seems most if not all theologians make a living off the sale of their endless line of books and tapes. Jesus said "You received free, give free." This is the kind of self-righteous, self-promoting garbage that gives Christianity a bad name. As for ministers, I am one. So, naturally, I don't object to all of such. But those that belong to a "clergy" class, and dress up in costume (even the cute collars) are reminiscent of the religious leaders in Jesus days, you know, that want the front row at all the big affairs. I do admire people that devote their life to studying, and more importantly, to applying God's word. I have benefitted everlastingly from some that have, without charge. Of course, I gladly support such a ministry financially and other otherwise. Hope that clarifies my view. Wilma |
