Askar: Hi

sing:
Hi Ben.
BA:
Hi Beloved Brother. How are you? Brother is there any Bible College that give
free distance education you know. I like to learn the word of God
sing:
To a self-learning man, bible colleges and seminaries are now irrelevant. There
are lots of theological writings online. The most important thing is to pick
trustworthy sources.
Otherwise,
you learn errors and heresies without knowing it.
I
know of an excellent website where I learn and teach myself the word of God.
Visit the site LetGodBeTrue.
Check
out John Gill's works also - his Body of Doctrinal and Practical Divinity as
well as his commentary of the whole Bible.)
Have
you ever asked the question, "Does a bible college have a biblical
mandate?" What does the Bible say about the theological training of men?
2
Timothy 2:2 KJV — And the things that thou hast heard of me among many
witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach
others also.
(To
be self-teaching, you need to learn to ask endless relevant questions when you
study the Scriptures. One needs a thinking mind to ask apt questions.)
BA:
Great. Thank you; this will be great helpful for me. Yes, I'm going through the
website.
sing:
Otherwise you learn heresies, damnable heresies.
2
Peter 2:1 KJV — But there were false prophets also among the people, even as
there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves
swift destruction.
BA:
That's what I am afraid of.
sing:
What do you mean?
BA:
I may learn damnable heresies
sing:
Why do you say that? Unless one has been taught and learned the truth, he
wouldn't have a clue that he had imbibed damnable heresies.
BA:
Because we are in India. You know now trolling is covid sent by God. All the
Christians say.
sing:
On what basis do they say that? Covic is caused by man's sin. God didn't send
it; God permitted it to happen and let it spread to humble proud and haughty
men who fear not God.

Askar (son of a soldier) is not his real name; the exchanges are real.
Mr
and Mrs Askar (pictured) send their warmest greetings.
