I would have to disagree with that statement where you have pitted "revelation" against "education". The truth is that it is BOTH not either/or! The revelation of understanding comes through the means of education, whether one is self-taught or taught by others no less than salvation comes through the means of the Gospel.

Quote
Nehemiah 8:1-2, 8 (KJV) "And all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the street that [was] before the water gate; and they spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel. And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month. . . . So they read in the book in the law of God distinctly, and gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading."
In His grace,

I am speaking of formal education Pilgrim. Without the revelation empowered by the Holy Spirit. the amount of ones educaton is fruitless. Man puts too much emphasis on their degrees. But I know many with many degrees but no heat. I also know many who would be considered dumb to our standards, yet have a grasp of the Gospel unmatched by few.

How many trudge through seminary programs, extra letters after their name, and yet are not under the teaching of the Holy Spirit.

There never was a sinner half as big as Christ is as a Savior.
