Not school teachers. Bible teachers.
1Tim 3:2; An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach,
1Tim 4:9; This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation.
1Tim 4:10; For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
1Tim 4:11; These things command and teach.
Women are told not to "teach" men.
1Tim 2:12; But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.
However women are encouraged to teach other women.
Tit 2:3; Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,
Tit 2:4; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
My wife likes women teachers like Beth Moore, who generally stick to teaching women as a rule. She avoids teachers like Joyce Meyer,
who generally preach to men as well as women.
2Tim 2:2; The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.
2Tim 2:24; The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged,
1Cor 12:28; And God has appointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues.
1Cor 12:29; All are not apostles, are they? All are not prophets, are they? All are not teachers, are they? All are not workers of miracles, are they?
Eph 4:11; And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,
Heb 5:12; For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.
Jas 3:1; Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.
1Cor 14:6; But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching?
Col 1:28; We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ.
1Tim 4:13; Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching.
1Tim 5:17; The elders who rule well are to be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who work hard at preaching and teaching.
2Tim 3:16; All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;
[KJV]
Matt 28:19; Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Generally I do not like just doing a topical word search and posting scriptures about a given subject. To me that isn't teaching.
And well, to be honest, my searches returned a lot more verses than I posted here. So then, what's the point?
The point is, we need teachers. People who know the Bible, to teach others. The Holy Spirit can teach us, but that isn't the only
option, nor is it the option most often mentioned in the Bible.
I have been told over a dozen different times in my life, I have the gift of teaching. (but then, don't we all?)
I am not smarter of any better than anyone else. To be honest I have learned just as much from others.. books, websites, sermons,
and even here on TalkJesus as I may have taught others.
I am far from the only teacher, and in my opinion certainly not the best teacher here on TalkJesus. But I do what I can.
I call out false teachings and false doctrines when I see them. I feel this is a calling.
I've had dozens of people here on TalkJesus tell me... "thanks, I didn't know that." Not because I am some special prophet
that knows hidden mysteries that no one else knows. Far from it. There are others here on TalkJesus that know more than I do.
When I learn something from them, I try to encourage them and say "thanks for teaching me something I didn't know".
Likely we wont all agree on all teachings here, and that's OK I suppose... at least up to a point. There have been a few false teachers, false doctrines
and false "so-called" prophets here on TalkJesus over the years.
I was looking my profile, I've posted over 7,000 messages here on TalkJesus over the last eleven or twelve years. By far, most of them have been right here
in the Bible Discussions forum. But why have a Bible study/Bible forum if no one learns anything from it?
(I am active on a few other sites as well). I feel some of us have different "areas of expertise". Some seem to know more about the old testament
and Jewish customs, some seem to know more about languages and etymology, others know all the verses about grace and mercy. I don't think
any of us have a monopoly on Bible knowledge.
But the Bible says teaching a is gift of the Spirit. It says it is an administration of the Spirit also. The Bible says the elders and overseers in the church
should teach the younger men. (and older women should teach younger women). It says we should "train up" (teach) our children the way of the Lord.
I don't have a lot more to say about this... (unless others start posting on this thread)... but the point here is... The Bible calls some to teach.
