What does the Bible consider as a teacher ?

[QuestionQuest74]

James 3:1 one says not many of you should be teachers because teachers would be judged more strictly. What counts as a teacher is it someone who is a preacher ? Is it a evangelist who studies the Bible with people or is it any one who teaches scripture ( teacher,professor etc.)

 

[SavedByGrace3]

There are called teachers, and there are teachers who are such "by reason of age,"

Ephesians 4:11-12 KJV
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

Hebrews 5:12 KJV
12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again
which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

 

[Peacemaker1]

christ is the teacher, who came into this world to teach that he is the shepherd of all the sheep-brothers together, who died for all, and then all are knit together in unity, all one together in the love of our one god, and our one lord jesus christ.


John 6:45
It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.


Ephesians 420 But ye have not so learned Christ;

21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:


Ephesians 411 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:


Hebrews 8:11
And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.


1 John 2:27
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
