Is there anything of substance, scripture, wisdom in here? Or is it the spirit of ridicule, for the sake of ridicule
I confess: I do not have a a degree in anything. Good for you. I did not apply my mind in school, when I should have. I was surfing and skiing instead. To my shame. I dropped out of college. I did not take anything serious until I found Jesus. Since then, I have tried to make amends. I have stuck with it, and not lost faith. I was a slow reader too, in the beginning, but the study of the bible changed me. I apologize for attacking you, and ask you to forgive me. You were right. I let my ego get the better of me. I did some soul searching last night and had to repent. I will not stop sharing what I believe in my heart to be true. If I'm wrong, I trust my God and savior, my Judge to correct me. I know that nobody that has studied the word for 40 years, deserves to be treated like a dog and ridiculed. I will be a better man for addressing you. I leave you with His words. "By this all men will know that you are my deciples".
Peace

That isn't the credentials that make one qualified before GOD.
You know that.
But what this man was saying to you was not to shame you.
He was clearly saying what all of us should do.
Please take a look at 1John 2 and 2John
And remember there is a difference between those who keep their feet planted firmly on THE FOUNDATION...who keep ever before them what they began in...and do not MOVE from what they began in...
From those who keep heaping upon THE FOUNDATION...additions that are just not needed.
Please review 1Corinthians 3
