THE EDUCATION GOD

1Cor10:1-4 "For I wish not you should be ignorant brethren, that all our fathers were under the cloud and all passed through the sea,-and all immersed themselves into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all did eat the same spiritual food and all drank the same spiritual drink,-for they continued to drink of the spiritual rock that followed them, and the rock was the Christ....."

The Jews of old who did not have the Holy Spirit indwelling them, nevertheless saw with their own eyes the mighty supernatural acts of God on their behalf. Yet they, having not the said indwelling, could still not be convinced by the outward signs they saw and so, perished in the wilderness.

How is it that this generation of "jews"-christians-, who say they HAVE the Spirit indwelling them and are living in "the howling wilderness that is this world", having the greater advantage over the ancient Jews by having the Spirit, DO THE SAME THINGS?? Why is it they worship at the alter of the gods of this world, which are many, but especially the education god?

Phil. 3:3-8d "For we are the circumcision who IN THE SPIRIT OF GOD are doing divine service and are boasting in Christ Jesus AND NOT IN FLESH HAVING CONFIDENCE-although indeed I might have confidence even in the flesh. If any other thinks to have confidence in the flesh, I more: - Circumcised the eighth day, of the race of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews,-regarding law, a pharisee, regarding zeal, persecuting the assembly, regarding the righteousness that is in the law having become blameless. BUT WHATSOEVER THINGS UNTO ME WERE GAIN, THE SAME HAVE I ACCOUNTED FOR THE CHRIST'S SAKE, LOSS; YES , DOUBTLESS! AND I ACCOUNT ALL (these listed) THINGS TO BE LOSS BECAUSE OF THE EXCELLENCY OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST JESUS MY LORD......AND DO ACCOUNT THEM REFUSE, IN ORDER THAT CHRIST I MAY WIN....."

Paul had THE education of his day. He was educated in the "Harvard" religious school, BEFORE GOD APPREHENDED HIM. After his conversion he realized all his former learning in the Jews religion was BUNK, because christ wasn't in it. The end result of his education was murder. His education was before conversion, BUT HIS REAL EDUCATION CAME AFTER CONVERSION IN THE SCHOOL OF CHRIST ALONE. His real education was taught by the unseen teacher.

Thousands of men have been converted over the years and one of the first things they do is run off to school - bible school/college/seminary. The subtle lie behind this says, "If I can learn the languages of the original writings of scripture, I'll have a deeper and better understanding of the meanings and "nuances" of the original languages, and so will be better able to "expound" the scriptures". Where in the bible - which they worship - does it say that in order to learn of Christ, one must be educated in the religious form of the worlds education system? It's the same system as the world's, just with "religious/christian" names slapped over it's institutions - denominational names, names of the reformers, names of DWM's (dead white males) who have gone before, etc.

Why did Jesus say in John 14:26 "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, which the Father will send in My Name, HE - WILL - TEACH - YOU - ALL - THINGS."?? Did He say somewhere else,"he will teach you all things using the instrument of another human in schools which will be set up after I am gone"????

They who think they are called of God to "preach" and run off to be educated by other men in a classroom, have, by that very action, LOST WHATEVER CALLING THEY HAD. WHEN GOD CALLS ANYONE, HE SENDS THEM THROUGH THE SCHOOL OF CHRIST BY THEMSELVES OUT IN THE "WILDERNESS" AWAY FROM THE INFLUENCES OF OTHERS WHO ARE HINDRANCES TO CHRIST'S TEACHINGS, and not off to a cookie cutter factory to be stamped out repeating some other "more knowledgable humans words".

Having read the scripture passage at the beginning of this post, do you think Paul got that spiritual insight out of his "former life's education"??
Definitely not. Paul was a spiritual man - Spirit taught. I hear someone say, "Yes, but he was special. God needed him in the work of founding the church, that's why God showed him so many things". Ok. Then why bother giving any of us peons the Holy Spirit then and telling us what is recorded in the John 14:26 scripture above? I suppose, as Jesus was speaking to the disciples in that passage only the disciples are to have the indwelling spirit? Paul denied any kind of "specialness" about himself. He was just an instrument. If Paul is exalted and lifted because of his "special founding work", why didn't he say so. This is romanism popycock.

Is. 54:13 "And ALL your children SHALL BE INSTRUCTED OF YAHWEH, and great shall be the prosperity of your children".

The only knowledge one can get in these schools is ABOUT. The knowledge, so called, goes INTO THE HEAD of the one being taught and he in turn gives it to the pew peons and it likewise goes into their head as information ABOUT. The first individual at the top of the "knowledge chain" has it in his head, so likewise it goes on down the chain and no one's life is changed because it's just information ABOUT. They learn Greek, Hebrew and maybe Aramaic and all the various rules of grammatical application, "textual criticism", "post" this and "pre" that and dividing and parsing and contextualizing and on and on. If one of these REALLY is apprehended by Christ, he, like Paul, is going to have to throw out all this claptrap in order to obtain the LIVING-LIFE CHANGING KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST.

This is why so many so called christians are so in name only, they "have a name that they are living, but are dead"-Rev. 3:1c.

This religious education stuff is corrupt to the core. It doesn't matter how many "sincere" believers are involved in it. The adversary loves it, because he founded it in the first place.
