ACCORDING to The Bible, GOD has given us teachers, so ignoring everyone when you get stuck on a passage is
1 John 2:27
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Raven, John wrote that they did not need someone to teach them THAT THE ANOINTING they received from GOD abides in them.
Looking up a word to read where it is used is a good start on studying, but use a good text and read passages IN CONTEXT to get the full and true meaning.
Your text left out the ‘this’, referring to the truth that the anointing abides and need not be taught to them ‘again’.
Yours has, in the past, and I’m sure other religions did too, at the time.
Now, your church embraces islam, from the church that never changes..
Your text left out the ‘this’, referring to the truth that the anointing abides and need not be taught to them ‘again’.
but how about this.
Hebrews 5:12
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.
The writer is talking to people who thought of them selves as teachers but who has need of being taught again.
You seem to have lost the crux of your post, that no teachers are needed. But the passage you quote from Hebrews contradicts your silly notion. Can you perceive that?
You seem to have lost the crux of your post, that no teachers are needed.
The holy spirit will teach those believers who want to know in most cases, that aside we are warned to beware of false teachers, those preachers for hire are false teachers and sell books to these silly people who want to believe anything but the truth.
And just what; exactly; would those be??
John 5:24
