I Feel Dissapointed And Happy All At Once...

Andrew:
2Ti 3:14  But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

Neh 9:20  Thou gavest also thy good spirit to instruct them

Psa 25:9  The meek will he guide in judgment: and the meek will he teach his way.

1Jo 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.

--- Quote from: Origen II ---I may be moving up to Chicago, IL within a year and I was looking at colleges up there. I found this awesome Bible Institute (Moody) that my parents kind of wanted me to go to because it was free tuition and was acredited as a normal university and not just as a seminary.

I was a little turned off at first, though because they recquire their students to tuck in their shirts, wear certain types of clothing, and can't even wear earings (I have two in my left ear), both ON and OFF campus. Meaning that throughout my entire college career there I have to conform to a certain image.

But that wasn't what entirely bothered me...what bothered me the most was the fact that I HAD to agree with certain doctrinal positions, like the Trinity and Eternal Damnation in order to be admitted etc.

My parents suggested that I should just lie and go to the college and get my education. While I thought about that, I realized that I couldn't go there, not just because of my own convinctions, but even if I did lie I would never be able to go through that college always having to lie on my homework and papers; sooner of later someone would find out what I believe and all those months/years of education would be wasted because they would kick me out simply due to a disagreement.

I told them that not only did I not agree with that school, but that I wouldn't feel comfortable going to a place of higher learning that simply failed you or kicked you out because of a disagreement.


They took it well and didn't get on my case about it, but it feels bad to not even be able to get a good education simply because you disagree with a person's position. But at the same time it re-affirms my beliefs in knowing that the truth is not welcomed anywhere.


Just wanted to get that off my chest.
--- End quote ---


Can't you take Biblical Greek and Hebrew at a college, and the languages alone, without conforming to or learning of any doctrine?
