It is not wise to interpret life according to what others are doing or what others like. "Others" are often wrong.
It is not wise to interpret doctrine according to the prevailing ideas of others no matter what their credentials.
Often an educated man's credentials are based on the biases of the institution he attended. In nearly all cases the student's marks in school are based on whether or not he could repeat back to the teacher the things the teacher imparted to him in the classroom.
The religious institutions are not exempt from this sort of thinking, that being that the student has adhered to the teachers particular understanding or bent, affording the student a passing grade.
Our culture has placed more importance on a formal degree than the working of the Holy Spirit in one's life. Sadly many have equated education with wisdom. We can see what happens in a culture when the Holy Spirit has been neglected in favor of man's education, a disintegration of God's principles and standards has occurred while arrogance has flourished.
We have many people coming out of Bible colleges today who are bending to the popular thinking of the day in order to be appreciated while keeping their income flowing from the pews.
Our culture as a whole thinks it is wiser than those of the past. Their wisdom is not coming from God but from the perverted Christianity of the world all around them.
NEVER place your trust in an education, a person or an idea! Place your trust in Jesus Christ alone!!!!!!
