>>> Is that ancient myth about Bible college education being somehow inferior to
secular education still out there?  I was hoping we'd slain that dragon by
now.<<<



It depends on what you are studying.  If one is studying the Bible, than of
course Bible college is much superior than ANY secular institution that is
available.  However, it is not necessary to go to Bible college to study the
Bible effectively.  The same is true for ministerial training.

However, Bible colleges cannot compete with secular Universities in all other
fields of study.  Maybe someday (if the Lord tarries) the UPC will be able to
offer accredited courses in diverse fields of study taught by well-trained
professional Apostolics with advanced degrees, but until that happens the
education offered at "secular" universities will be superior in many ways (but
NOT all ways).

Yours in Christ Jesus, our King and God,
Bro. Kirk
