Greetings Katebote! We must be careful as to how we apply Acts 4:13! :-) Acts 4:13 is not a pronouncement from God that it is better to be illiterate than to be literate, or that it is better to be uneducated than to be educated. Rather, Acts 4:13 is a description of how the Jewish leaders viewed Peter and John. They would have considered anyone who had not had the same training as they had received to be illiterate. :-) Remember, these are the same people who called Jesus a drunkard. :-) With that in mind though, God does not expect us all to be geniuses. However, He does expect us to 'rightly' divide His word. He does expect us to search the Scriptures. So, we should take advantage of the scholarship of those who are geniuses. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thanks Tim your comments are being pondered. it is just The way I've seen is that some will try to intiminate with there genius rather than address the comment. In Order to get to who is right we have to prove something to them the best we can with Scripture and with facts and in a spirit of mildness, Hebrews 12: 14. | ||||||

Brother Tim: What? No geniuses on the Forum? I'm disappointed. Someone once said that a genius is a fruitcake with brains. I'll have you know that I at least meet the first part of the definition :-) And you certainly have brains. If we pooled our assets... --Hank | ||||||
