Yeah, he founded it, but he doesnt have much to do with the day to day runnings. I can't say that he has ever been mentioned in class. I did hear him speak at a graduation ceremony, though... He is a little off his rocker, but his vision has brought about a great work... I don't follow CBN, but he hires good teachers!

Maybe we talking apples and oranges. When I speak against Bible College my definition is this:

A place where interested Students go to learn more Bible truth. They pay the Teachers and for all their materials and of course their living quarters. They are not there to learn how to be a Doctor or a Lawyer.

If one is working his education to prepare for a secular type job there are other places they can go and learn. Or are you talking about a College where they teach secular subjects and have some Bible classes here and there?

MTD, I'm sorry, Bro., but the purpose of the Church is not be a college. I don't know where you got that idea either. Sunday school, Wednesday night Bible study, and all the preaching in the world will still not be the same as going to a college specifically for the study of the Bible. There are simply too many details involved to expect that kind of in-depth learning to take place during regular church activities. Should people be learning from what's taught at their churches? Most definitely. Does that mean churches are supposed to be set up like colleges? Of course not.

Also, Bible college doesn't just teach one about the Bible. Bible courses are mixed in with the other subjects being taught. At least I would think it's this way. Even in secular colleges you have to take English classes, things like advanced mathematics, and suchlike. This is assuming, of course, you aren't getting your degree from one of these degree mills.

Indiana Wesleyan University accepted my JCM Bible Courses. There program requires Biblical foundation as well as secular teachings. I learned a lot from my professors who were: Wesleyan, Calvanist, and Quaker. One of my professors taught in the English school in Korea and taught the Bernard children while they were on the mission field in Korea. Talk about a small world.

All young people should get a secular education so they can work their way through Bible College.

Very few employers, or even colleges, care about education received at a non-accreditted Bible College.

Secularly, I think Bible Colleges are ALMOST useless if not accredited.

Spiritually, God can use a Bible College to work out His Will in someone's life, but he can do the same without one going to Bible College.

Alas, when I think of Bible College, I think of it as a place where young folks go to get spouses because there aren't any suitable ones in their local congregations.

Gloria Gaither spoke at my graduation ceremony when I was awarded a Master of Arts in Christian Marriage & Family Counseling. She did an awesome job of describing Jesus as being Alpha, the God of beginnings, and Omega, the God of endings. One thing that stands out in my mind that I have come to know and understand: Many times what would appear to be a beginning has been and ending, and what I thought was an ending was truly a beginning.
