Rude?
Please point out what I said that was rude and I'll stop. I think you know that I don't intend on being rude at all. I'm telling you the truth. I'm not treating anyone like they are less intelligent. What you're probably sensing is the same thing a person would sense if they came up to you and said the sky is mauve and there is no such thing as night and you responded to them—trying to be kind but seeing the blatent error in their conclusions.
It is your feelings that are not being honest with you.
About degrees...
They mean very little to me except in certain fields.
Doctors are the obedient dispensers of pharmaceuticals, which have never cured a thing.
Dentists are installing mercury like it's going out of style and defending it all the way.
80% of computer programmer graduates are helpless unless they have the initiative to teach themselves.
English teachers learn more about touchy-feely psycology and the failed word-recognition reading techniques then they do about language.
I wouldn't let a computer tech with a degree touch my computer without first proving to me that he/she has personal initiative.
The impassioned and disciplined are much more learned than the schooled for they are students for life and driven to truth.
About reading a modern translation...
As I mentioned in a previous post, most modern translations have been deliberately preverted and are horrible, such as the NIV, ASV, and others. They are craftily designed to mislead people. In fact (and this is important), they lend themselves to and lead people to the kinds of conclusions that you've come to. For this reason, I would have guessed you use one of these modern versions. I would guess your teachers do as well.
The most accurate translations are the KJ and the New KJ, which is now hard to find. It's the one I use most often. The 1611 KJ is helpful too.
The same thing has happened to new editions of Strong's. I have an old edition and in seeing some of the new printings, they have actually changed the definitions and meanings of words to obfuscate the truth.
The world is headed in the wrong direction, silently guided by the brilliant passion of evil. The Shepherds lead, singing the song of the soul, believing that God is before them. The sheep follow, knowing not where else to go.
Do not be insluted by my words Demi, for I only tell you the truth.
"Mar 6:3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at Him."
"Luk 7:23 And blessed is he who shall not be offended in Me."
