Greektim,
I
wonder where Peter, James, and John got their "
degree"? Where did Paul & Apollos "matriculate" and get their "
degree"? Where did the Lord Jesus Christ get His "
degree"? Hmmm? What difference does it make WHERE someone got his "
degree" or whether he even has a "
degree" or not? Hmmm?
Are only those with people with "
degrees" QUALIFIED to teach and preach God's word? Are only those people with "
degrees" to be listened to and all of the rest of the men whom God has called (without "
degrees") to be ignored?
Do you know what Paul thought about his "
degree"?
Philippians 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,
I'm not going to give you the "modern translation" for what Paul "thought" about his "
degree", but I will say that your
snobbish,
intellectual, and
elitist approach to God's Holy word and to God's people is enough to turn my stomach!

WHO CARES? The question is: Is he preaching and teaching SOUND DOCTRINE? Is he a faithful minister of the Holy things of God? Is he an "example" of what a servant of the most high God should be? NOT - "
WHERE DID HE RECEIVE HIS ThD"! It's too bad that you are not as CONCERNED about the TRUTH, as you are "
CURIOUS" about about the QUALIFICATIONS of a minister of God!
If the Apostles were here would you ask that question about them? If the Lord Jesus Christ were here would you dare to question His "QUALIFICATIONS" - like the PHARISEES (before you) DID?
I'd advise you to get off of "your high horse", and take a good look at yourself:
Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think;but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.
