I am well familiar with the Socratic technique. It was used on me many times in law school. And I did study Aquinas and other such luminaries as part of my foundation training in principles of Christian law. It was required at Liberty University to study the history and development of legal and moral philosophy as it relates to Scripture and the great thinkers. I was very much at home in that material. I also served on law review and am a published author.
But I wouldn’t trade my Bible or the freedom to share it with others here or anywhere for ten thousand worthless credentials doled out by sinful humans. There’s only one credential I really crave, and that is to hear my Savior say, at the end of days, well done, thou good and faithful servant. That’s it, my friend, and unless you’ve got some credential in mind better than that, I’m just not interested.
Peace,
