[TruthTalk] Education - Is it evil?

From: "David Miller" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Judy wrote: ... when I hear someone speak on that level with  understanding that can only come from God - I  listen.  But when someone tries to impress with  big words and complicated semantics.  Oh well!   To each his own.   David: I think what you said here identifies the root problem that exists when educated men speak and you are present.  It seems to me that perhaps you are insecure with your own educational level.    jt: Why is it that you, and Billt like to counsel and evaluate so much David?  Why not deal with the issues rather than the person? Are big words and semantic arguments always helpful?  Why did Jesus Creater of the Universe speak in Aramaic the common language of the people?   You surmise that when someone uses "big words" or "complicated semantics" that they are trying to impress someone.  Most of the time, that is not at all the case.   jt: Sometimes they are, in any case they are not being sensitive. I went to a PCA Church once where the pastor was like this. He was a nice fellow so people liked him but most of them didn't know what he was talking about.   Got to wind this up right now, something going on here. Will finish when I get back.  jt
