Title or no title, we should not reject any that are called to teach. And we should listen to what they have to teach us. Yes but they were called "prophets of Baal" not prophets of Yehweh or Christ. I know teachers are sent by God if what they teach aligns with God's holy word.

To answer your question,"what is Jesus doing", you would look to the Church. Being that the Church is the Body of Christ, we are His stead. Perhaps you see the activities of the Church as "filthy rags", yet I do not. As to your "good enough" point. How well are you living up to perfection...

I would like to respond to this :) I say all who are BACs are in the elect of God. Those who claim it but do not live it are not born again. Supporting scripture: John 8:31-32 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you...

Please take note: "Let me state this clearly before the accusations fly... I am not a Calvinist, I am a Christian. That aside let me explain the reasoning behind a Calvinistic perspective of double predestination." This is not the perspective I hold, this is a Calvinistic perspective. Also...

Ephesians 4:11-12 11 And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of service, to the building up of the body of Christ; According to scripture teachers and pastors are provided...

In reference to the free-will issue: Romans 6:6-7 6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order that our body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be slaves to sin; 7 for he who has died is freed from sin. Romans 6:16 16 Do you not know that when...

Again what i said is "it enabled him to communicate the gospel that was relevant to his audience." Here is where I cited where Paul is clearly utilizing his prior education to contextualize the gospel. Again my argument is Paul refers to knowledge he gained in his education, not that he...

Studying a bit I came across this verse and found it relevant. Jesus Himself describes what is is to be His disciple and what the end result of being His disciple is. From my standpoint of OSAS, there is only the saved and the dammed. God does not start the salvation process in an individual...

Yet as I mentioned before he used it during his ministry, thereby it proved useful when bringing others to Christ. Now I am not saying his education supplanted the work of the Holy Spirit, yet it enabled him to communicate the gospel that was relevant to his audience. Again bible schools and...

In a conscience decision and effort to stay on topic... 1 Corinthians 28-29 28 And God has aappointed in the church, first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then fmiracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, various kinds of tongues. 29 All are not apostles, are they...

This is where context is key... and background information is helpful. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 10 If we...

I think you need to clarify yourself here. Again you make generalizations. Obviously when you are not specific or clear in what you present, it is difficult to have good dialogue. Your statement was about "the leaders and institutions" and "the churches" in the last post, now it is the...

It is those who are against OSAS that make the straw man argument against believers repenting.

Let me say your negative inferences, although possibly out of ignorance instead of arrogance, are forgiven. I do hear the voice of the Lord. I hear the voice of the Lord as the wind rustles through the trees. His voice sings to me through the song of the robin and through the infant's cry...

I mean your arguments commit informal fallacies. You start with a straw man argument. You give a red herring. You use a mind projection fallacy. You use an incomplete comparison. You use an argument from ignorance. You end with a loaded question. Please do not take this in the wrong...

The other side of the coin is people read the Bible, with little to no instruction from others, then gain a distorted view of the gospel. Then they decide they need to teach a congregation that you can just name and claim whatever you want. They teach that God is there to serve us and not the...

It has been posted several times, yet for your sake I will post this again... Perseverance of the Saints by Nathan Pitchford What God begins, he finishes Psa 138:8 The LORD will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O LORD, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands. Ecc...

No, that is not what I said. I said education can normalize the theological positions held by church leaders. IE: Christology, Soteriology, Systematic Theology... So he was paid by the ministry... How is that different than a pastor being paid through his ministry? In reality I never...
