Surely it is requisite to eternal life that we come to know God and Jesus Christ whom He has sent (see John 17:3).

• But once we realize that people have very different kinds of minds, different kinds of strengths -- some people are good in thinking spatially, some in thinking language, others are very logical, other people need to be hands on and explore actively and try things out -- then education, which treats everybody the same way, is actually the most unfair education.
