If I was a theologian, what has more credibility: Mickey Mouse University or Yale Divinity School? Why do you think so? Just brand?
No soup for you. Until you read all of my comments on the LS thread, you are not worthy of my keystrokes.

Re: Get your Degree Today

If I keep wasting time here, I am going to have to transfer to Southern Eastern just to graduate.

Spare me. I may not remember your specific remarks, but I've read the entire thread. So drop the elitist "i'm not worthy" comments. That's what you're a crusader against after all!

So you came to LS's defense? I just don't recall seeing your name on the thread. Blame it on my memory. I was too busy tearing down Oneness Pentecostalism.

Well, you at least have that option.

As in the case of LS (and other names that came up in that thread), there is a similarity in the educational ranks that we hope to see broken. Why are so many ministers rushing to get degrees added to their name, but few doing it, though capable, through institutions of academic rigor? Why is this a problem? What does it say?

Bump for Char.

Re: Get your Degree Today

Why is questioning always considered "tearing down?"

It's not always and by everyone.

But I certainly spy out trends.
