Education Reformers Needed

[Jeffrey]

MTD, you're missing the point.

The whole idea of this thread supports equipping teachers. Somehow you have these competitive division that teachers somehow learn things about ancient languages, culture, the life and times of Jesus, canonology, exegesis, pastoral counseling, church history --- all by going to the library (and reading from some false doctrine crony you somehow have a hard time with).

Those dummies at Dallas Theological Seminary have offered a lifetime of theological scholarship that has been taken advantage of by every Oneness Apostolic Pentecostal Born-Again Believer in Jesus Name. So it's quite hypocritical to take advantage of the labor and scholarship of others and then say you don't support formal scholarship.

Elders should be apt to teach. The idea of formal education does not take away from that role, it reinforces it.

This is SO true. Virtually every tidbit of revelatory and applicable bible research, including every commentary and every version of the bible in print, has been handed to us by those idiot trinitarians. These boys learn all their stuff and then tell them they're going to hell. It's hilarious, really.

Don't forget every time one of those OPs quotes Strongs or some other work they are often quoting a Trinitarian who went to a place of higher learning

They also have no problems quoting Ken Ham and others of the young Earth crowd when it suits them, even though they are all trinnies. Then again Ken Ham has no issues when quoting real scientists on the very rare occasion they agree with them -the rest of the time they are just evil secular humanists.

You don't necessarily HAVE to go to a University or get a degree. It may be preferable in some cases. Certainly if teaching in one of the UPC schools you want to get that degree. My pastor is taking classes offered by another church who has staff that went to Seminary (not Oneness affiliated) and the classes he is taking and the method they are using to teach is pretty much on par with going to a university.

He isn't interested in a title. He is interested in furthering his education so he can teach the church better. He is the kind of guy that reads and expands his knowledge
