I've lost hope in teachers. I know the commands of Jesus but I'm no expert on theology. I'm kinda anti theology actually. I believe things should be simple not complicated. But this doesn't mean I'm not learning daily. I need reminded daily actually. I love scripture. It's good for that.

Greg Laurie on YouTube is a great teacher of the scriptures.
I don't involve myself in man's teaching because it's often based on theories. I just follow the simple commands of Jesus, the apostles and the prophets. I love the psalms too.

I love God by being celebate and being content with simple things. I love people by not arguing politics with them, gossiping about them, or making fun of them. I'm still trying to figure out how to discuss religion without hurting myself or others. But I like talking about God's love and his good commands. I like discussing scripture that helps me with my problems. I pray always for myself and everyone. A lot of theology just gets in the way of my beloved simplicity.

Please forgive me if I'm wrong about anything. I may not have all the answers but I know that love is greater than having all the answers. Do i understand love for God and people? That's what I need to learn and do. I love God but people are difficult and I'm difficult. So i need to make it easy for people to love me while loving others as myself and as Jesus loved us. But the great importance of love cannot be stressed enough.

And 2 Tim 2:15 is what is expected to all believers and says Be DILIGENT TO Present yourself accepted by God , a workman

having no cause for SHAME RIGHTLY DIVIDING the word of TRUTH

You can buy a MANUEL GRAMMAR OF THE GREEK NEW TESTAMENT BY DANA and MANEY at a used book store ,

or buy STRONGS CONCORDANCE, and VINES GREEK DICTIOARYS

That is what I did , just a suggestion !!

And you will learn all the Greek tenses and CASES , up to you !!

I started learning Greek years ago. I learned the alphabet and that's as far as I went. My mind is in no shape for that now. I use scripture4all occasionally.
