Bible College is Un-scriptural and wrong

More than issues...this guy's a bona-fide nut case.

Thankfully, his baptistboard stint was brief. We were too "leeeeee-brl" for him.

 

That there's funny. I bet even Sanderson (his BB screenname) would laugh at that one.




OK, scratch that...dude hasn't laughed since the Carter administration. But he might smile, ever so slightly...

 

Most churches are not started by Bible Colleges. I have no idea where he got that bit is absolutely wrong information.

 

Since I'm privileged to be chairman of the trustees of Mid-Continent University in Mayfield, Kentucky, I have read this thread with interest. MCU was originally named Mid-Continent Baptist Bible College.

The late President of MCBBC, Dr.O. C. Markham, loved to tell the story about his periodic visits to churches in the area. One Sunday, he arrived at a rural church to find that the pastor was away, and someone else was filling the pulpit. He knew this fella, knew that he had little use for religious education, and even less use for educated preachers. He felt that being educated just made one liberal. And he also knew that the fell would take a shot at him.

Sure enough, when the man stood up to preach, he said, "Before I get started, I want to say that I'm ignorant; I thank God that I'm ignorant (pronounced ig-nurnt) and I pray that God'll make me ignurnter and ignurnter."

"Now," turn in your Bibles to the book of Daniel. I'm gonna preach on old King Nee-buck-had-a-razor."

Dr. Markham said, "I knew he meant King Nebuchadnezzar. I also knew that God had answered his prayer. He was getting ignoranter and ignoranter."

 

And what kind of formal education did Spurgeon have? NONE.

Spurgeon missed being admitted to college because a servant girl inadvertently showed him into a different room than that of the principal who was waiting to interview him. (Later, he determined not to reapply for admission when he believed God spoke to him, “Seekest thou great things for thyself? Seek them not!”)

 

Charles Spurgeon, "The Whole Machinery of Salvation", August 18, 1889:

"I learned my theology, from which I have never swerved, from an old woman who was a cook in the house where I was an usher. She could talk about the deep things of God and as I sat and heard what she had to say, as an aged Christian, of what the Lord had done for her, I learned more from her instruction than from anybody I have ever met with since! It does not require a college training to enable you to tell about Christ—some of the best workers in this Church have little enough of education, but they bring many to Christ."
