But really, how relevant is education in matters of faith? Consider all the agnostic and atheist scholars. The Holy Spirit will teach you all truth. What more do you need?
Entirely relevant. Are you serious?
The Holy Spirit is a way we "hear" the truth. Uncovering the Story of God, taking the history element of the Story, understanding what the words of Jesus first meant mean much to how we should understand them today.
You are right that the Holy Spirit takes a huge role when it comes to the heart issue of "hearing the truth" as Jesus often referred.
Mr. Anderson,
You stated that you apologized here and on AMF- I teach my children that apologizing and repenting are not going and doing that again and yet YOU stated that you would do that again.
You misrepresented yourself as a friend in order to gain personal information from Baron (while you were exposing his personal information to a lying con man). He was completely honest with you all the way around- so you may say he should not go digging around in other people's credentials (i.e., looking them up online), but you should stop pretending to be something you are not, and consider what you have done and who you are in league with.
Show me who your friends are and I will show you who you are.

... What I see are men that have taken a dive into Study, not set on being "this camp versus this camp." That's, afterall, not a scholarly attitude at all.
I can't remember who said it, but some wizen old sage I heard in a lecture once said, "There is no such thing as 'conservative scholarship' or 'liberal scholarship.' There is only good scholarship and bad scholarship."

I can say one thing, and that is that someone is making a BIG mistake when they come on here and try to feign something they are not. There are enough people here with enough means, and love for truth, to uncover just about anything questionable, false or even downright deceptive. Many have been betrayed by their Org. and their brethren and are no longer content to "drink" whatever is put before them. I love the words Ronald Reagan used, "Trust but verify." That will continue to happen here over and over and over. May God and His truth prevail!

John, I am not tying to "pretend" anything. I don't need too for you or anyone else. You need to let this sink in slowly. You were poking into alot of people's business. It is only right, given you are crucifying them here, that they know who their detractors are and be able to contact them. What happened from there with the DC bar call had nothing to do with me.

Character assasination.(sic) Some posters have made it their business to dig into credentials, backgrounds, etc and offer their findings on a forum. Some of it is true and some of it is not. The main thing is that I think the wrong people are upset now. I know 2 lawyers are investigating it and pursuing it now.

Interesting. The above is a case in point! Nothing passes the scrutiny AFF's members.
