One day some one asked me about starting a Bible College in the country, I replied, it is not so easy as you think!
I went back home, these is a few things i thought:
Firstly, the thing is, we have to decide, what is the purpose for a Bible College to be set up?
Training the servants or Bosses?
Secondly, what Bible Versions are going to be used in that Bible college, so that there will be no quarrel for the Bible versions in the future, KJV or CUV, NIV or NKJV? If a Bible College do not know how to choose a faithful Bible Version, it is better for them, not to start a Bible College at all!
Know how! Do not just quarrel! Fight!
Thirdly, asking the students in the Bible College, what kind of certificate they want from the Bible College, what kind of degree, why they want a piece of paper like that? Spiritual life is more important than this certificate!
I think it is enough for us, as a nominal Christian, to avoid such a quarrelsome Bible College, if they the lectures, do not know how to choose, even in choosing the Bible Versions! If they keep on fighting among them for Bible Versions, suing each other for minor issue like Verbal Plenary Preservation, it is better so that we stay away from this kind of Bible College!
If We are training servants, then do not aspect all of them to be successful, and not all of them will become scholars, and do not called any one as a theologian without testings! What a shame to do that!
Without the Bible like Chinese Union Version and NKJV for the Chinese Christian and young believers, the Bible College will die.
