Actually, those classes I was required to go to, while I was a member of a works based religion, (WBR) didn't use that "old textbook," which may be the reason I slept through them. They used fairy tales, so there was no reason to stay awake.
At that time, I was experiencing a Matthew 15:8-9, up close and personal. Thank God that the Navigators came along and told me the truth.
Being as my middle name is "Berean," I searched the scriptures to see if these things were so. I came to the conclusion that my WBR had deceived me. I never knew for sure if it was deliberate or inadvertent, but I guess it's all acedemic now.
We have Bible studies, specifically designed for members of WBRs. What a coincidence. Many of them also have the same middle name (Berean) as I do. Imagine that. People that actually want to know the truth. What a novel concept. How about that MM?

That’s the work of the Holy Spirit in a person.
