Have you ever noticed how "so called" men of God today love to post and write about their various theological degrees? Is this of God or is it sinful, prideful and all of man? In truth, it is of pride and man alone since God never commanded His men to do it. It is the fallen way men lord over others and rule from the pulpit over those in the pews afraid to test or even question their false ways. Man has created a clergy / lay person class separation, NOT God.
I have written on mans false seminaries before and you can see that article at the end of this post. I have never found a seminary that is biblical as they build on mans religious systems NOT God's Word in full. The fact is God did not ordain the systems that men follow today for so called higher training God.
All we need to do is look at Jesus Christ our High Holy example per 1 Corinthians 11:
1 ) Was Jesus Christ highly educated in religious training?
Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.
NO...
2) Did He pick 12 men who were highly educated in religious training?
NO...
3) Did Christ send them off to special religious training?
NO....
In fact the one man Christ did call who was highly educated ( Saul who became Paul was trained in Jewish religion ) laterhad to be RE-TRAINED by Christ in Arabia for years and Paul himself called all he knew and learned before was DUNG, compared to knowing Christ. See Galatians 1 and Philippians 3
All of that is NOT a ringing endorsement for religious man made training is it?
Also we know that God's Word says this in 1 John 2:27
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Then Apostle Paul warned about the very things that men learn in seminaries these days ( the ways of man )
in Colossians 2:8 he said:
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
it.
All you need is God's Word and His spirit. Oh if you have true godly biblical men indeed learned from them but that is shown to be a FAMINE in the land today as most are of man made religion NOT God's full truth.
Here is one such famous so called Christian college / seminary ministry yet it is full of pagan ways, worldliness, false doctrine and carnality and biblical nakedness. It is that of John MacArthur:

Please do not be deceived or intimidated by these men who brag about their various sheep skins yet I can tell you from experience that when a man (who does NOT have a theological degree but has the discernment and he clings to the knowledge of God's Word) they run and hide in the dark in their false ways and sin just as Jesus warned of in John 3:19-21.
The bible warns all over of false men who are in the so called body that are wolves and false teachers in the last days. See Matthew 24
Here is that article on seminaries and how sinful/unbiblical they are:

Men and religious denominations that push and rely on religious degrees are deceived and or just trying to deceive you to follow them, to give your money to them and your allegiance to them. It was NOT so from the beginning and nor should it be that way today as God is ABLE to train up men in the Word without these places of so called higher learning that are rooted in many man made ways.
Note: If you know of a fully biblical college or seminary, email it to me and I would love to test it. Then we will go help them if they are indeed fully holy, set apart and obedient to ALL of God's Word. I have never seen one yet? Just saying.....
Please go to our biblical resources below to help you in the full truth vs man made false religious ways. Let us know how we can help you?
