And what does formal education have to do with obeying the word of God for that matter?
Peter , the great apostle , was an uneducated and an obedient man of God.
1cor.14:34-35 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
brian h,, You are wrong, the apostle Peter and John were uneducated ,according to the new testament. Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
