Also remember that this boy is still in the formative stages gathering
input. He just finished his degree. He has been learning everything given
to him. I have no doubt that he excelled in his learning of the Bible and
church studies as well. He has not yet gotten to the stage where he is
questioning what he has learned or started producing new ideas to replace
the old ideas yet. That comes with experience.
All in all, I think he sounds very well adjusted and successful considering
the burden of going to college while underage. (I know!)
In this case, it is WE who are being arrogant thinking we are in some sort
of position to judge this stranger on the basis of a few news clippings.
