I have a QUESTION that has been bothering me for our Tanzanian Neo-Evangelists - especially for those who have made it their major preoccupation to post and discuss only Biblical Tracts and passages on these forums, and to teach only Bible Studies at our Tanzanian educational institutions - Kakobe, Gwajima ,Fernandes, Lusekelo, Mwingira , and all the others, most of whom I presume are TRAINED PROFESSIONALS in their chosen fields of human endeavor:
What if all the TEACHERS and PROFESSORS (Tanzanian and foreign ones) who taught them at the various Tanzanian institutions, and the foreign ones that many among them later attended, including the American, Canadian and European missionaries who taught them at the public and parochial schools they all attended in Tanzania, had brought only the Bible as their only text-book, and taught them only BIBLE STUDIES, preparing their SOULS for ETERNAL LIFE with Night Vigils, and church services and praising the Lord - but no General Science, Mathematics, Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry; no History, Literature, Geography, Sociology, Statistics; no Biology, Botany, Zoology; no Architecture, Philosophy, Pharmacy, Agriculture, Physics or any of these specialized fields of education...Only BIBLE STUDY and RELIGION!!!
My QUESTION to them: WHERE and WHAT would all YOU BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS be today?Please think and reflect DEEPLY before RESPONDING!!!Because this is all the EDUCATION we are offering Tanzanians, and especially Tanzanian children today - BIBLE STUDY and RELIGION!!!
We are TEACHING them only 'HOW to PRAY' to make miracles happen in their lives, and not how to study and work hard to achieve success!!!
And no PERSONAL ATTACKS please - if you all can help it.
