Thinking of taking a Bachelor of Divinity Programme from TTC

As above. Anyone doing a theology degree? What is your opinion of taking such a course e.g. will it 'kill' ur faith when u go deeper in knowing more abt your faith?
I dun really intended to be ordained, just want to know more about the Christian faith.

laoda,
no joking here... just ask God and the Holy Spirit will reveal things to you... I know, I talk from experience... God has taught me so much about Him and has given me such a revelation that I cannot contain my joy... He will do the same for you. God and the Holy Spirit are the best teachers, not man.
I know the Love of God... so strong that I was crying for a whole day the other week... just to know a God who loves me so much who cares about the little minute details of my life... I will pray also that God will reveal things to you as you read the word..
Think of it this way, when I say I read the bible everyday... and more than once... there is a reason, it may be hard at first... but it will become part of your life...and the reason is that your spiritual man has to be fed just like your physical man.. if you don't eat, you will eventually starve and die, same thing for your spiritual man, in order for your spiritual man to grow, you have to "eat" from the word of God to grow strong in your faith...

doing a theological degree will not increase your faith......only increase head knowledge....may have to criticise scriptures......question the bible......can you take it? eg, that creation story and flood are derived from Babylonian tales .......
Bethany School of Missions may be better for those who seek more practical understanding.....less theory......taught by missionaries............they believe in inerrancy of bible.
