My friend, Pneumatic education is to exercise your mind in good behaviour,in God's words,to be learned reading Bible and apply the behaviour of Jesus Christ.
And your point is...?
Marksman, what's your thoughts on Jesus teaching in the temple at a young age, which is documented? Does God violate what he would later say in his Word?
My thoughts are this. ONE. Jesus was without sin. The reason being he had a perfect relationship with his father evidenced by the fact that he only did what he saw his father do. That aspect makes him different to everyone else that has ever lived so his age cannot be used to prove a doctrine unless we are dealing with people that have a perfect relationship with the father. TWO. You never base any doctrine or belief on one verse of scripture or one incident in the bible. The best commentary on the bible is the bible itself and if there is a truth being taught, it will be backed up by other scripture. In the teaching about church leadership there is no mention of Jesus age being brought into the equasion to establish a pattern. THREE. Jesus lived on earth before the church came into being and overall, he did not teach anything about the church. His teaching was about the kingdom of God. His church teaching was that it was his church, he would build it and the gates of hell would not prevail against it in a total of two verses. He gave no teaching regarding leadership in the local assembly. Had he wanted the fact that he was young to figure in the details of local assembly leadership, I am sure that it would have been included in what he said, bearing in mind my previous comment about the bible being its best commentator.FOUR. If we are going to claim that the young can lead the local church because Jesus taught in the temple when he was 12, we have to follow what he taught, namely that it is his church, and give it back to him and cease our man made institutions, positions and power plays. If Jesus prayer was that we would be one as he and the father would be one, it is obvious that man has taken control of the church attested to by the fact that there are approx 35,000 denominations worldwide. Not in your wildest imaginations can you attest that to be the work of Jesus. FIVE. God has said he places his word above his name so he cannot violate his word or his nature. The fact that there is nothing in his word that says a young man can be an elder in the local assembly (just the opposite 17 times)makes it quite clear that he doesn't want us to use his word to which he is committed to, to create a theory out of his son's relationship with himself. SIX. Paul spent 13 years getting revelation from God about his ministry and the church. Not once does he mention Jesus age as an indication of how the church should be governed in what he taught. I find it a bit strange that God didn't take the opportunity to brief Paul if this was significant factor.
