Comments on: Well known Christian figures often speak out of their hind end. They do not speak for Christianity. http://www.thepropheticyears.com/wordpress/2008/07/25/well-known-christian-figures-often-speak-out-of-thier-hind-end-they-do-not-speak-for-christianity.html Trends in the world and the Church in these last days Tue, 02 Dec 2008 14:22:12 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Don http://www.thepropheticyears.com/wordpress/2008/07/25/well-known-christian-figures-often-speak-out-of-thier-hind-end-they-do-not-speak-for-christianity.html#comment-885 Don Fri, 25 Jul 2008 23:26:12 +0000 http://www.thepropheticyears.com/wordpress/2008/07/25/well-known-christian-figures-often-speak-out-of-thier-hind-end-they-do-not-speak-for-christianity.html#comment-885 I do not know where Christians got the idea that going to seminary or bible college makes a mature Christian worth following. Basically you come out of school with the beliefs of your teachers. It is like saying that a pre-med education makes one qualified to be a brain surgeon. One of the problems in Christianity today is that we put unproven Christians in leadership roles right out of school. Also those with PhD's in religion and some of the most popular pastors are the same ones that are doing the most today to hinder true biblical Christianity. I don't recall Jesus asking his disciples what their qualification were. He said to follow Him and HE would make them fishers of men.

You're not a Christian leader; you never went to seminary. I will believe what the leader says because no one wrong would be in that position. Who made YOU the expert anyway? You just sit in the pew like me! No! I don't have time to read the bible -- besides you can make it say anything you want!" The apostates in power have simply made the wide road to destruction that much wider. Then there are the many ordinary “Christian” people who say to us:
