I studied hebrew at St. Andrews Uni and got a perfect score in both hebrew 
modules. However, 
I did not graduate from the university because in order to pass all the 
prescribed modules I 
would have had to compromise my relationship with Yah. The choice was simple.

1) Tell the truth and not graduate
2) Lie and graduate

I am proud to say that my integrity is still in tact. I would have loved to 
have done a Ph. D 
in b-hebrew but I am not willing to call Yah a liar in order to achieve it.

I wonder if a group of unlettered galilean fishermen would have been able to 
get their Ph.D's? 
I also wonder what their opinion on the current accademic system would have 
been???

The parallel with doctors was not a good one. I have heard countless stories 
of mistreatment 
abd bad diagnosis and modern medicine seems to be more guess work than 
anything else.My Aunty is
paralised because of an unnecessary treatment from a 'professional'.

Lawyers and accountants can be just as bad. If Ihad listened to my accountant 
in Italy I would have
paid thousands of Euros unnecessarily. I had to show him from his own 
documentation before I could 
get him to do his job properly. Now why was I in a position to know better? 
Being the one who had to 
pay out perhaps I was more motivated.

B-hebrew is a special case because to understand it properly you have to have 
faith and reliance in 
Yah's ability to make things clear to you. Hebrew scholarship is largely 
based on criticising the 
texts and finding conspiracy theories and from my experience if you are not 
willing to agree with 
such conspiracy theories you have little to no chance of ever being accepted 
by the 'accademic community'.

Privileged people come from privileged families. It's a fact of life that we 
the underprivileged have 
learned to accept and to live with because 'happy are you when people 
reproach you and persecute you 
and lyingly say every sort of wicked thing against you for my sake....for in 
that way they persecuted 
the prophets prior to you'.

Let the doctorates have their self proclaimed glory. Yah will glorify the 
meek ones.
