Just another item to drop in the file labeled "Things That Make You Go Hmmmm."

Coonskinner,
I'm new here, so I haven't read the posts you refer to.
So, I previously wrote:
A humble grandmother who reads and believes her Bible with a clear God-given understanding can accomplish more than a misguided, puffed-up suit in crocodile shoes with a degree in exegetical theology. On the other hand, there is most definitely nothing wrong with furthering ones knowledge by attending seminary; I just want to be clear that some are easily swayed by simple verbal wordsmithing.
I wholeheartedly support the idea of extensive theological study. My comments were directed toward the idea that just because someone is a smooth talker doesn't mean they are speaking truth. The key word present in my diatribe is "misguided." This was not specifically directed toward the T-6, but a general observation in regard to pure motives versus a misguided agenda.
Shalom.
