Is there are correlation between how uneducated a Christian is and how opinionated and judgmental they are?

Question

It just seems to me that the best Christians are educated and intelligent but they are the ones that mostly remain silent and don’t have opinions whilst the noisiest ones are the most unintelligent and uneducated. I mean, creationists, Fred Phelps, Pat Robertson…need I say more?

Answer 1

interesting....I think I tend to side with you on this one.

Answer 2

Opinionated and judgmental characteristics can be found in all people

"having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away." 2 Timothy 3:5

Answer 3

Your bigotry shines through.
You hate Christians and it's obvious.
The intelligent ones have no opinions and are silent?
That tells us alot about you, specifically that you don't want to hear from Christians.
At least be honest and tell us of your bigotry and stop trying to sound accepting when your own statements prove you wrong.
Need I say more?

I don't know who those people you mention are, but more often than not highly educated people are less likely to accept the Bible's message because they feel it is "too simple", and because even children can undertsnad its teachings.

1 Corinthians 1:18-31 For the speech about the torture stake is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is God’s power. For it is written: “I will make the wisdom of the wise [men] perish, and the intelligence of the intellectual [men] I will shove aside.” Where is the wise man? Where the scribe? Where the debater of this system of things? Did not God make the wisdom of the world foolish?For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom did not get to know God, God saw good through the foolishness of what is preached to save those believing.

For both the Jews ask for signs and the Greeks look for wisdom; but we preach Christ impaled, to the Jews a cause for stumbling but to the nations foolishness; however, to those who are the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because a foolish thing of God is wiser than men, and a weak thing of God is stronger than men.

For you behold his calling of you, brothers, that not many wise in a fleshly way were called, not many powerful, not many of noble birth; but God chose the foolish things of the world, that he might put the wise men to shame; and God chose the weak things of the world, that he might put the strong things to shame; and God chose the ignoble things of the world and the things looked down upon, the things that are not, that he might bring to nothing the things that are,  in order that no flesh might boast in the sight of God. But it is due to him that YOU are in union with Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom from God, also righteousness and sanctification and release by ransom; that it may be just as it is written: “He that boasts, let him boast in Jehovah.”


Luke 10:21 In that very hour he [Jesus] became overjoyed in the holy spirit and said: “I publicly praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have carefully hidden these things from wise and intellectual ones, and have revealed them to babes. Yes, O Father, because to do thus came to be the way approved by you.

Answer 5

No, I don't think lack of education has anything to do with it. My most educated sibling is the only RightWing/Republican/BornAgainChristian in our family!

To God the only education you need is his word and faith in Jesus Christ! Where in the bible does it say you have to
have a human education to know him and know th truth. With God all things are possible! Do you known him?
