“The more you continue to read the scripture, the more you begin to think as He thinks and act like He acts. And now over the time, you gain the wisdom of the ages.” Wayne Cordeiro
For all Christians and Jews the bible holds a very revered place since it is the Divine Word of God. Like all Holy Scriptures it is one of the most misinterpreted books ever written, therefore, it is difficult to understand and imbibe its theology and philosophy to help society evolve through its high principles with the correct interpretation. An academic application, consequently, is the need of the hour and the in depth study of the Jewish and Christian scriptures become crucial. Subjects that are included in biblical studies are many which are theology, homiletics and apologetics, biblical history and biblical mission along with a host of many others that lend a higher religious strength to character.
Kings Divinity School is one institution that offers course in biblical studies to train those who may be interested in the service Christ in pastoral and other Christian ministries along with a keen approach to develop a character so divine that could give them the ability to contribute to the Christian church
MESSIANIC SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY
“On the day Jerusalem was destroyed the redeemer was born” (Eicha Rabbah 1:51; Yer.Brachot2:4)
The Jewish spirit is supreme which enables the people to endure all torments of life because Messianic Studies reveal the concept of the Messianic Age that is the silver lining offering hope to humanity and ushering in of a new era where war will have no corner, but peace will rove freely in every nook and corner, undaunted. The Messianic School Of Theology and its correct reinterpretation can be a hope and redemption for Israel and humanity.
Messianic studies benefits students to develop skills appropriate for the Jewish community understanding the Rabbinic Thought and the Old Testament Law would help in employing the knowledge in diverse ministry situations and it would develop the proficiency in Messianic Worship. There are unique needs of the Jewish community that could be better understood and adequate pastoral counsel could be provided. Once these studies are undertaken and certified the one could serve the community as a messianic congregational leader, mission worker or even an educator. There are opportunities for specialized study of theological reflection that focus on Jewish studies which could benefit the student in his service to the community.
SEEK THE KNOWLEDGE AND IMPART CORRECT COUNSEL
The person that leads needs a mind that seeks the truth through knowledge but works and understands the same with God dwelling in his heart. If he tries to counsel without knowledge of God’s message for mankind it would lead to a misinterpretation of the Bible.
