According to Eph 4:11-14, the Bible isn't meant to be learned by means of
discussion; it's meant to be learned by instruction, taught by someone
especially enabled by God for that purpose.
● 1Cor 12:29 . . Are all teachers?
The answer to that is a great big NO.
Some years ago I was invited to a home Bible study. Before considering his
invitation; I asked the man if his group was led by a competent Bible
teacher. He said: "No; we don't have a teacher. The group teaches itself. In
other words: we speak as the Spirit leads us to speak."
They say iron sharpeneth iron. But that doesn't work when both irons are
soft. That's why files are hardened and tempered. Well; that man's group
lacked a file, so to speak; so I declined because his so-called Bible study
would be little different than a Jane Austen book club discussing a chapter of
Pride And Prejudice, i.e. a bull session consisting of sophistry, conjecture,
theory, and personal opinions that never gets to the bottom of anything.
