Why do people think they can be a teacher when they can't

I shouldn't have posted this, sorry.





Ephesians chapter 6 verse 12
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

You answered your own question by your first few comments, I did not need to read the rest to learn that. Heed your own advice, please!

Billy Graham is a false teacher.
Charles Stanley is a false teacher.

Would you at minimum consider them to be a neighbor?

Romans 15:2
Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

James 2:8
If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.

Proverbs 3:29
Do not plan evil against your neighbor, who dwells trustingly beside you.

Mark 12:31
The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Proverbs 25:17-18
Let your foot be seldom in your neighbor's house, lest he have his fill of you and hate you. A man who bears false witness against his neighbor is like a war club, or a sword, or a sharp arrow.

Galatians 5:14
For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

Matthew 7:12
“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

Luke 10:27
And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.”

I guess your right.

I happen to be on this "neighbor" kick lately.
But it keeps popping up as relevant.

Everyone is a false teacher.
If you mean false in the sense that you are likely to proclaim a particular doctrine as absolute proof due to the fact that we are often forced to cherry pick perspectives.
Due to the sheer complexity of the bible, the universe and statistical odds, it is likely that every human who lives and ever lived is wrong about some of their assumptions.
I think this is why being a teacher is risky. You're likely going to teach false doctrines.
This must be why it is said that many should not seek to be teachers.
There must be some allowance for us believing wrong things. The theme of God's judgement seems to be based on our hearts. Our motives and intentions rather than knowledge

I guess I can stop reading, and quote you there.
Touche'
I suppose posting comments is like teaching isn't it? That's why I have a disclaimer as a tag.
I do alot of journaling and I think some of my oldest material was off base.
This is the result of growing I suppose

I learned a lot by posting this, but like I said I shouldn't have posted it.
Philippians chapter 1 verse 18
But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I will continue to rejoice,
