The Gospel was preached by a group of men who were not among the knowledgeable elite, and there is a reason that God chose fishermen, tax collectors and other religious illiterates to be His apostles and not the religious experts and teachers of Jesus' time. The reason being that religious teachers and experts, who are fervent about their religious knowledge and schools, by their endless pursuit of fruitless knowledge, is actually deep in the web of Satan.
The web of Satan is nothing more than getting people into different religious groups, getting them to chase after spiritual knowledge and then sowing discord and arguments among those who consider themselves elites. Just look at the Pharisees and Sadducees of Jesus' day and you see the work of the devil. These religious elites, filled with knowledge and the arrogance that comes along with it, argued amongst themselves frequently about Moses' law, about who has better knowledge of deep spiritual matters and who has authority from God. Yet, none of them were even close to knowing God personally, they were all knowledge but no understanding. They were the same corrupt persons they were before they had a religion and Jesus called them hypocrites to their faces.
The same web of Satan is used in the Christian congregations. The Gospel of Christ was not prone to corruption until the time of Constantine, who saw the need to establish a religious authority of sorts to lord it over the rest of the believers with his version of superior knowledge. When the plain Gospel preached by the apostles were no longer enough and better knowledge is needed, corruption crept in and heresies rose.
Even though the RCC was corrupt, the Reformation was no different. Here the Gospel was forcefully split into different schools of thought, no different from the schools of the Pharisees and Sadducees. How can such be the work of God? The Pharisees and Sadducees did not have any true understanding of God or His message and were full of errors, the same is true of the modern day schools of Bible knowledge.
Do you really suppose that by adhering to a denomination or a school of thought, you are adhering to the truth of God? No, you are engaging in the same arguments and divisions as the Pharisees and Sadducees. It is all talk and nothing more. You are not being conformed into the image of Christ by arguing, neither are you practising righteousness when you are fervent about religious debates. You are still plagued by sin and remain as corrupt, and anyone who hasn't been practising righteousness does not even know God.
The Bible schools are not set up to pursue the truth, the truth has been preached by Jesus and the apostles long time ago without the need for any schools. Laymen in the time of the apostles had no issues understanding what was being preached even when there was no Bible schools held. The Bible schools are set up to create divisions and strife, to puff people up with knowledge, to destroy the church with heresies posing as knowledge.
