I am hoping this means you're feeling better.
As for teachers? Sure, if we go see one, or even read one on here, we know if they're bad or good, and either dismiss them outright, or listen. BUT, say you have a daughter in first grade and you check out her teacher. The teacher is bad! Do you do the same thing? Just walk away and let her decide if that's a good or bad teacher?
I'm not really worried about most people on this forum. I'm worried about the ones new to Christ and don't yet know if the person teaching is good or bad. Soooo, then what?
Because, as it stands now, most of the people "teaching" lately, haven't even graduated first grade for knowledge need to teach, and yet think they're teachers because they have a message.
And, I very much do believe knowledge is needed to be a teacher. And, some kind of calling and guidance. The calling? It is NOT "God has called me to teach," without confirmation from trustworthy elders. (And elders, doesn't need to be male, nor does it need to mean "old." It means those who the people of a church already trust based on their walk and talk.)
And then the most important part of being called into the office of teacher is to first, be a student! Not one of those apostles or early-church leaders taught what they didn't already learn. They knew the OT. They knew who Christ was.

At least that is how I view my posts/ threads on here.,.,,,
Am I suppose to act more "teachery" should I put on some glasses to make myself seem more sophisticated and smart?
Seriously though I know what you mean.
I just pray and trust God and His Holy spirit to lead them to His truth. I speak of I think folks will listen or if God places it in my heart to speak on a topic, but mostly I just silently pray.
Life is too busy for me to post on most threads.
I like yours cuz your honest even when we don't agree on something.....lol which is often.
