Re: Do you BELIEVE in Christians being educated?

Education is a waste of time when the Lord is coming. I also don't understand why some churches spend the money building brick buildings when metal ones or even tents should do with the amount of tiime we have left.

Besides if your kids go off to be educated they leave God and church so to protect them they should only go to a church school staffed by uneducated people for just as long as the law requires.

Then they should get married and seek whatever jobs they can get and their pastor approves of where they live.

Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

That is an excellent idea... though not for the intent you offer.
