"But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty (1 Cor 1:27)"

This article is bizarre...That's your own private interpretation...

We KNOW that the people God calls to spread His word must have at least 8 years of formal education plus a seminary education...And most importantly, they must be trained in philosophy...They also need a working knowledge of Greek and Latin...

2Co 1:12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.

2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Praise God that He chose simple, uneducated people like John, and Peter and millions upon millions of folks like myself to reveal Himself thru His words...

And God warns us that we can educate ourselves right out of knowing Him...

Holy Spirit trumps worldly education any day.
I’ve noticed though the more I learn about God and his word, the more I feel inspired to know more , so Greek and Latin will be in my future....
But it has nothing to do with knowing God. He can speak ad reveal to whomever he likes in whatever language or communication mode they need....

If that post is bizarre...then you miss it my friend.. It good to know the Greek and Hebrew...it better to believe the Bible's simple message. As an ex Catholic...they know niether... The elite class and religious rulers of that day called these men ignorant
