Jesus said he is the only teacher and in other scripture he says he is the Good Shepherd.
He doesn't say there are other human teachers are that there are other Good Shepherds.
What is the bible? Isn't the bible the written word of God. This is where we find our salvation from.
Which part of the bible would you find salvation for the Gentiles (us). It would be in the new testament are new covenant.
Jesus was speaking to the disciples and the crowd and he was speaking about the Pharisees and Scribes of that age but actually we have the same today.
This part here was about the Pharisees and Scribes: They were the teachers and leaders then.
Matt 23:1 Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples,
Matt 23:2 “The experts in the law and the Pharisees sit on Moses’ seat.
Matt 23:3 Therefore pay attention to what they tell you and do it. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they teach.
Matt 23:4 They tie up heavy loads, hard to carry, and put them on men’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing even to lift a finger to move them.
Matt 23:5 They do all their deeds to be seen by people, for they make their phylacteries wide and their tassels long.
Matt 23:6 They love the place of honor at banquets and the best seats in the synagogues
Matt 23:7 and elaborate greetings in the marketplaces, and to have people call them ‘Rabbi.’
Below he changes that into where he says he is the only teacher. Is not Jesus God?
Matt 23:8 But you are not to be called ‘Rabbi,’ for you have one Teacher and you are all brothers.
Matt 23:9 And call no one your ‘father’ on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.
Matt 23:10 Nor are you to be called ‘teacher,’ for you have one teacher, the Christ.
Matt 23:11 The greatest among you will be your servant.
Matt 23:12 And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.
Matt 23:13 “But woe to you, experts in the law and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You keep locking people out of the kingdom of heaven! For you neither enter nor permit those trying to enter to go in.
Below Jesus says he is the Good Shepherd:
Look at what Jesus says in verse 9. He says if anyone enters through him, he will be saved. Does he say anything about anybody else.
Verse 16 the other sheep not in that sheepfold is us as Gentiles and we are not added into that sheepfold until after his death, burial and resurrection.
John 10:1 “I tell you the solemn truth, the one who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs in some other way, is a thief and a robber.
John 10:2 The one who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
John 10:3 The doorkeeper opens the door for him, and the sheep hear his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.
John 10:4 When he has brought all his own sheep out, he goes ahead of them, and the sheep follow him because they recognize his voice.
John 10:5 They will never follow a stranger, but will run away from him, because they do not recognize the stranger’s voice.”
John 10:6 Jesus told them this parable, but they did not understand what he was saying to them.
John 10:7 So Jesus said to them again, “I tell you the solemn truth, I am the door for the sheep.
John 10:8 All who came before me were thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them.
John 10:9 I am the door. If anyone enters through me, he will be saved, and will come in and go out, and find pasture.
John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come so that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.
John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.
John 10:12 The hired hand, who is not a shepherd and does not own sheep, sees the wolf coming and abandons the sheep and runs away. So the wolf attacks the sheep and scatters them.
John 10:13 Because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep, he runs away.
John 10:14 “I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me –
John 10:15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father – and I lay down my life for the sheep.
John 10:16 I have other sheep that do not come from this sheepfold. I must bring them too, and they will listen to my voice, so that there will be one flock and one shepherd.
John 10:17 This is why the Father loves me – because I lay down my life, so that I may take it back again.
John 10:18 No one takes it away from me, but I lay it down of my own free will. I have the authority to lay it down, and I have the authority to take it back again. This commandment I received from my Father.”
John 10:19 Another sharp division took place among the Jewish people because of these words.
Last I will give you what he says after his death, burial and resurrection.
The first covenant was the Law of Moses. The new covenant or testament is the covenant of grace.
Heb 8:7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, no one would have looked for a second one.
Heb 8:8 But showing its fault, God says to them, ​​​​​​“Look, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will complete a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah.
Heb 8:9 ​​​​​​​“It will not be like the covenant that I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not continue in my covenant and I had no regard for them, says the Lord.
Below is what he says that he will do for all believers. In this he doesn't include any one but himself.
Heb 8:10 ​​​​​​​“For this is the covenant that I will establish with the house of Israel after those days, says the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and I will inscribe them on their hearts. And I will be their God and they will be my people.
Heb 8:11 ​​​​​​​“And there will be no need at all for each one to teach his countryman or each one to teach his brother saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ since they will all know me, from the least to the greatest.
Heb 8:12 ​​​​​​​“For I will be merciful toward their evil deeds, and their sins I will remember no longer.”
Heb 8:13 When he speaks of a new covenant, he makes the first obsolete. Now what is growing obsolete and aging is about to disappear.
So the question is whether or not everybody is being saved through the scripture are through Jesus in his word?
