Let's Talk about "Unschooled Ordinary Men"

This is a post about Rick Warren.

Proper seminary training, according to Rick Warren, is an one essential ingredient he believes is missing from the church. In 2003, he began saying, “In the developing world there are 2.1 million pastors and church leaders. Of those, 1.9 million have never had any training at all. Not only have these leaders not gone to seminary or Bible school, they haven’t even gone to high school or primary school. They have no training whatsoever -- and yet they lead the church. This must be remedied.” (Facing the World's Five Evil Giants! Rick and Kay Warren )  Saying such a thing is simply umbilical.

Rick is not the only one astonished that so many “pastors” have the authority that they do. The high priests of Peter’s day were astonished with Peter and John too. Like Rick they probably would have loved to rid the world of these unschooled and ordinary men who had nothing but big mouths and wouldn’t shut up about the scriptures or that Jesus guy they used to hang with, you know, the one who healed the sick, gave sight to the blind and even was himself raised from the dead.

Acts 4:13 says, “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled.”Rick, doesn;t just marvel, he says they are one of the five great evil giants in the world.
