Bible Question: Maybe I should have rephrased it differently. Does a formal education hold value in God's eyes in terms for everyone that's saved? I completely agree with you about how he uses education to convey his Word, but is it actually needed to serve effectively? I understand that if you want to serve God through a certain skill like engineering, you need an education in engineering. But suppose someone has no skill, only a deep love for Christ. Is any kind of education required of him to serve his Lord? |

Having a formal education,how ever much does'nt hurt though. May I refer you to Jeremiah 29:11-13 and 2 Timothy 2:15 one can and will do well.To take these scriptures to heart. God has endowed us all with some kind of talent and calls all of us to use those talents in service to Him and His people. In Him, lionheart |
