On matters where Scripture is explicitly clear (which is most of the time), I do not need to go to someone for help with the issue. There are times where I may go to someone such as one of my professors at Seminary to find out more about a certain culture or a certain twist in the Greek language. But, I've been a Christian for 30 years. By now I should be well acquainted with Scripture. 1 John 2:27 (King James Version) 27But 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.

John is speaking to the laity of the church in this passage. Hebrews 5 12For 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. 13For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
