Daniel Segraves, executive vice-president of Christian Life College , once noted that although the number of our churches continue to grow, the average number of students enrolling in our Bible colleges has remained constant for years. This indicates that the percentage of our people enrolling in Bible colleges each year is declining. Such a predicament is a travesty. The Bible upholds knowledge, understanding, and wisdom as virtues to be sought after. If knowledge is important to God, it should be important to us also.
Truth is correct knowledge as opposed to false knowledge.
This statement must be understood in light of its historical context. The Sanhedrin realized that Peter and John had no formal rabbinic training , and thus, from their perspective, were not qualified to expound on the meaning of the Scripture. Some might gather from this that one does not need training in the Word of God, but this ignores the fact that the apostles had their theological training from Christ Himself in the flesh. Truly the apostles were full of the knowledge of truth. What they lacked was the formal training from the rabbis, which knowledge was often at variance with the letter and spirit of the Law as evidenced by Jesus attacks on the Jewish theology of His day.
