You can if you *want* to
No reason to get upset
Yeah I think he’s doing an online program in some sort of Christian degree. He says that I don’t appreciate how much work it takes.
🙄
You can still appreciate it & know it isn’t a necessity
I think studying god isn’t going to come through school but through life experience and prayer
Pastors are made pastors by God calling them to shepherd a flock
period
They’re studying the Bible not god
some churches may require you to have a seminary degree, many do not
but the thing is

exactly anyone can get a degree to be a pastor, the only thing that will really legitimize you as a pastor, is having a calling from God to be a pastor
$5 and anyone can get a minister's license mailed to them, from the internet
Yep, that’s what I mean. Anyone can do it so being a pastor should be a higher calling
Do you think maybe the devil tricks people that are truly called by God to go to school bc he knows that intellect leads to pride and can turn people away from the Lord
Could be, but we are all members of one body, I don't think all scholarship is bad, God has people getting scholarly degrees as well, but those degrees aren't what makes us a pastor
My calling is Spiritual Warfare
@cashd13 that’s an interesting thought, could be
You deff see the swelling up of pride over religion takes one further from god
The first church I was led to after becoming a Christian... all the leadership would call each other doctor
it was pretty funny
none of them had doctorate degrees
