it's madness.... I asked... do african traditional religions have their school? If God came to me last night and asked me to go preach kwa basi ya kuenda Naks - will I tell him I need to go to some school?
if to you a school is a room with walls then I get where the anger from Christians is coming from, but just for your knowledge african traditional religions have very strict schooling before you deemed fit to lead the various rites.
What if I come up with an interpretation of the bible today that bans going to school for theological training? Or even better I claim that God told me that last night?
if you do not agree with the law of the land just because God told you, then the state takes you to court and the judge will decide whose interpretation or thought process is valid.
You know some in the church are spreading this line that you do not need any training, that its a calling, I mean even God put down a book so that you have some structure in spreading his word. thats why even if God speaks to you many find it prudent to back it up with the written word.
Its not a chaos we are looking at, even God has order.
