Ed, This might sound strange, but I find people who have the wrong belief in something in the bible is the most reliable sorse for me to find out the Truth, it gets you thinking and digging into the word. I think you nailed it on the head with this statement. "We don't want to be taught then why do we think we should teach others." The main problem I have with Schooling are these points. 1) Most churches will not Ordain anyone unless they spend thousands of Dollars in Education from a School of their chosing and courses. 2) People who spend years in Seminary (for the most part) End up being closed minded or prideful and will not listen to any teaching that goes against any false belief he may have especally the truth is given to him by a layman. It causes two problems 1 is pride the other is An unteachable will lead others astray hince some of the Cults out there today was started by an educated in the bible field men/woman. I have a very good learning circle around me. So I am very teachable. But I am also very careful in what I am being tought as well. If there is one small problem in what they are saying no matter how mute it seems to be I will always bring it up and work from there. You cannot do that at a college. I also don't mind being rebuked on a false belief I may have. As long as I am shown where I am wrong and why I am wrong and what is the correct thing. 2 out of those 3 will teach me. Another problem with colleges is if you know some belief is a little off on their part And then the exam or test comes up do you lie on the paper and tell them what they want to hear or do you mention the truth and fail? |

DarcyA I find just the opposite of you, most close minds that I run into come from people with little or no education in area they are so closed about. I think this forum is a perfect example. Many have reasoned it out in the their minds using faulty information and are sure they have the right answer and no amount of proof will convince them otherwise. As I said most of my education has taught me how little I really know. Each class I would take would leave me more questions than I had before I walked into the class. Yet when I first started my formal education I thought I had things pretty well figured out. It wasn't until I started to listen to the professors, the points they made, the questions they raised that I understood how little I really did know. Sure there were classes that that I learned little or nothing from, some that bored me to tears yet each played a part in my education. If nothing else I learned what makes a really boring class. :-) Did I always agree with all positions taught absolutely not. In fact I still chuckle over my one professor that marked my answer wrong because I presented and defended a position in opposition to his. Even though I had other professors and even the Dean of the college on my side it cost me a grade point and effected my whole graduation position. You know what? I laugh about it now. And it taught me to listen even more to others position. EdB |

EdB, Well said, brother. I think education is only the beginning of learning process. Indeed the more I "learn" the more I realize how much I don't know. Proverbs 9:9 speaks volumes: "Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
