Figured I could answer the OP, seeing that Ive posted here twice already.
Anywho, I joined this site because I was a new Christian and wanted a place that I could talk to other Christians. So I guess both, really. And I actually have learned many things here, even though I dont go on and on about how Ive learned. But there have been a few people on this site that have had an impact on me, absolutely.
That doesnt mean that I will be willing to learn from everyone, though : p Not everyone who calls themselves a Christian actually follows Christian teachings. Like, my mom used to claim to be a Christian even though she did things that God forbids us from doing. If I know that someone has beliefs based on their own opinion over whats in the Bible, its extremely unlikely that I will be willing to learn from them.
But yeah, Im always wiling to learn, I found Christian speakers online when first coming to Him that really helped me, I saw a Bible counselor once a week, too.
So yeah, pretty much both. I always like to learn when I can. But that doesnt mean I accept everyone as a teacher : p
