Education or Imitation

To interpret Scripture rightly, imitate Jesus.

The earthly ministry of Jesus was all about rightly interpreting and applying God's Word. We can do the same. No special training required.

In fact, right interpretation of Scripture, followed by right application, is the primary way that Christians are to be like God. This is not an issue of education. It's an issue of imitation. The example of Jesus' life shows us how.
