Wherefore the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near
me with their mouth, and with their lips do honour me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men: Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people,
even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise
men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent
men shall be hid.
- Isaiah 29:13-14
God is taking away the wisdom and understanding of our men, especially our spiritual leaders. We profess with our lips to be serving God, but refuse to submit to His words in our heart; prioritizing the instruction of men instead.
One way He is achieving this is through Bible colleges and seminaries, where we believe our preachers and missionaries must go before they can preach the Gospel and nurture disciples for Christ. Though these now wicked organizations have attempted to bear this responsibility, God only entrusted this with the local church. Those who say you must attend a seminary are adding to God's words.
