Robert's back story

Recently, I placed focus on what I call “children’s church” education, where leaders of Christian churches (all denominations) have no ‘higher education’ as to the meaning of Scripture. The meaning of Scripture is not part of the core curriculum at any seminary school, although they might have courses designed to lead upper class students to prepare papers on what some famous person wrote about some portion of Scripture, as his or her interpretation. The “children’s church” mentality is really no different, as it is the same as being told to remember this story [with a picture book of Bible stories easier to read and remember than some dissertation by a scholarly theologian – a “scribe”]. If the source of meaning is outside of oneself, then one will always bow down before and worship a “scribe,” rather than Yahweh and/or Jesus.
