The view on Seminary Studies

It is abhorrent how many believe that the motive of seminary studies is to get a job in the church such as a pastoral role, preacher, or any church ministry role.

My response should be like this:

Me: I would like to go for seminary studies.

A: Good good. But you know you should first have experience in common jobs and be successful.

Me: What?!

B: You need to have the calling to go into seminary. You must have calling from God!

Me: What?! Ok, let me clarify one thing. I know it is literally extreme, that is why I am not going to enforce it if I can, but churches should REQUIRE everyone to have at least one year of SEMINARY STUDIES before they become CHURCH MEMBERS.

A: ?!

B: ?!

Me: Good. Now that we are clear on what true seminary studies and theology mean, we can continue talking.
