The University of Professor Jesus Christ
by Van Robison
The world in which we live is highly
impressed with "education". Many companies and
corporations require some college education in order
to work in a specific endeavor. I believe that society
would be far better off if it totally dumped the
college and university system we know, in favor of
technical and trade school education, along with
on-the-job training. There is much about the college
world that is unessential "education", and that is a
waste of human time and money, as well as the fact
that some of the so-called education is more social
engineering and indoctrination than useful knowledge.
Worldly education is highly controlled and is
therefore often an agency of politics, political
indoctrination, humanist indoctrination, and
manipulated by behind-the-scenes powers that control
"education" for money, profits, and the manipulation
of human beings into certain kinds of thinking.
A great example of manipulated college education is in the
field of "health" and medicine, where the "education" deals
more with orthodox medical practices and procedures than
finding causes of sickness and disease, or alternative
health practices. Education in nutrition is a very minor
part of the education for orthodox medical practitioners.
Indoctrination and propaganda play a large role in college
education in some fields, and for example, alternative
health success by alternative doctors is taught as
"quackery". Regardless of what the "experts" say, ("By
their fruit you shall know them"--Matthew 7:16), the proof
of truth is found in the lives of many people, who for
example have been cured of cancers of all types through
alternative health, and cured of other so-called
"incurable" diseases outside the orthodox medical system.
Many very dedicated doctors have been destroyed by the
police powers of the medical mafia whose only interest is
advancing their multi-billion dollar empire of medical
monopoly. The same is true about childhood vaccinations,
and the pharmaceutical drug empire seems to be forever
inventing some new drug which they ensure society is
absolutely necessary for "health" and "well being" and
"safety". In another hundred years how many vaccines will
the drug mafia insist is necessary for school age children?
Perhaps 200? Are we guinea pigs for corporate profits?
Leaving that aside, there is much more to be said about the
"educational" system of this world, and there is a parallel
in the field of "Christian" colleges and Bible schools. It
doesn't take much thought to know that whoever owns or
controls the Bible or theological school or college, is
going to indoctrinate their students with their particular
belief system. When I was employed at Ambassador College in
Pasadena, California, many years ago, it goes without
saying that the students were "educated" with the teachings
of the Worldwide Church of God and Herbert W. Armstrong the
founder. The same can be said for Baptist Bible schools,
Roman Catholic schools, and virtually all other types of
so-called "Christian" schools. All young people who attend
Bible schools are indoctrinated with the teachings of the
founder or founders of that school, or of that particular
church affiliation. A great example would be Jerry
Falwell's Liberty University and the founder's beliefs in
the area of theology. While it may seem like a great idea
to have a "master's degree" or a "doctorate degree" in
theology, all of us who have read about the life and
times of Jesus Christ know assuredly that Jesus was never
impressed with the "doctors" of theology, and in fact
basically selected "uneducated" fishermen to be fishers of
men.
Very likely, false indoctrination and false education is so
deeply rooted in the individual that "unlearning" false
knowledge and teachings can be a lengthy and difficult
process. Anyone who has ever been involved with a cult
group will attest to the struggle of unlearning mind
control programming and indoctrination. When my wife and I
took our exit from the cult Worldwide Church of God, it
took us probably at least two years to gain a sense of
balance about people outside of the Worldwide Church of
God/Ambassador College perspective. And it took years more
to really see and understand a great deal more about
churches and churchianity in general.
No doubt the "educators" will frown upon this idea, but
nevertheless, the greatest education on earth comes from
Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ never recommended a Bible
college education or Bible university training in order to
be His disciples. The principles of life and living taught
by Jesus Christ, are worth far more than any "masters, or
doctorate" degree that any human being will ever earn from
any college or university on earth. Jesus taught principles
that should be common sense, but which obviously are not
common sense for the fact that He had to teach principles
to live by. Jesus taught a standard of life that is
unequaled in the natural human realm. Understanding the
teachings of Jesus Christ, and knowing the heart of our
heavenly Father can only come through the Holy Spirit. The
gift of the Holy Spirit of God is worth more than all the
college degrees conferred upon human beings all put
together from the time they were first initiated on earth.
I personally believe that ALL Bible colleges and
universities are simply money-making corporations, and
established to perpetuate a particular brand of theological
belief. That is not to say that everything taught or
learned in these man-made institutions is of no value. But
the greatest Professor who ever lived is Jesus Christ, and
His teachings can be learned without cost and for free, by
simply looking to Jesus Christ as teacher, counselor,
mediator, Holy Spirit giver, sin forgiver, and giver of
eternal life.
Jesus Christ is the most prominent educator the world has
ever known, and He taught God Almighty 101.
