DIVIDING LINE
From: "Lance Muir" <

No formal
education whatsoever......................Triple Phd?Unable to
read
.........................Facility in numerous languages including
Hebrew & Gree
(oh, Arimaic for Mel's sake). Do we wish to feed the
sometimes justifiable
charicature of Christians? (How many Cns does it
take to change a lightbulb?
Make your own joke). I thank God for those
who've taken the time, spent the
money and laboured at great personal cost
to understand the Nature of God
and the Nature of God's Gospel.

jt: The problem is Lance that this is NOT how one
comes to KNOW God and
the nature of his Word. You can learn some historical
background that way
but you will never have understanding because that
can only come through Him
and His condition is that first we must DO and then
we will KNOW. In our
culture we have been
taught to fall at the feet of Academic because you can't
make it in this life without a degree with Caesar's
stamp of approval on it.
Education is a 20th century idol. God's will
prevails with or without it. judyt
