Timothy would not have taught anything different from Paul, and his teachings are not recorded for us.

The fundamental Bible principle is that Jesus handed down His teachings to the apostles personally, who then taught faithful men, who in turn taught others. That was to be the pattern. But since many false doctrines started to appear in the churches, the Holy Spirit selects men and enables them to teach in each generation. The spiritual gift of teaching is still an operational gift (contrary to what you think).

I generally agree and i also realize that Timothy and those that learned from the apostles were first tasked to protect the teaching (1 Tim) and then charged to preach.
About gifted men, not so sure.

Maybe that's where we're getting hung up here. I am still calling it teaching if it is not "new information" historically but new to those who are taught.
For sure there is no other gospel to be taught.

And I think there is a difference between keeping the command in Colossians 3:16 to teach and admonish one another, and calling yourself "rabbi" - everything God gives us is for the benefit of each other, to be shared and transmitted to one another in love. That doesn't mean to me that any of us are supposed to think of ourselves as gurus, or to treat some man or woman like they are - but we still should think of ourselves soberly, and recognize when we can learn from someone.

Well, new ideas have crept in very fast. Look at all these debates, just about every doctrine having three or four positions, they were not all handed down from the apostles.

What is handed down from the apostles.. ? as it is written as the once source of faith handed down from the Holy Spirit? The word apostle(sent one) has taken on many new meanings other than what was intended...

I was talking of the Gospel which was handed orally but also penned as scripture.

All the false doctrines and spiritual nonsense come from demons and Satan. That is why it is imperative that Christians know the truth from the Word of God.
