No prayer to try and make me grumpy like you will ever be successful.
I am not grumpy....

You are always misunderstanding.

Someday you may understand.
And, maybe you won't.

Right now I am assuming you are young, and also very young in the Lord.
And, that is OK if that is the fact.
 
Paul had a problem with people who think like you do.

My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me ​
that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, ​
“I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas”; ​
still another, “I follow Christ.” 1 Corinthians 1:11-12​

I believe Paul would not find you approved.
who is our teacher?

who is our teacher?

thks

The one who teaches our teachers?
Is our teacher.
Ultimately... the Holy Spirit.

But?

It is not to be a direct link of God and us alone.
For God works through believers that He designated with spiritual gifts.
And we have many poor examples that we must sift through to find a good one.

If it were a direct link?
As some try to tell us?

"It is me and the Holy Spirit."

If that were the case?
We should not even need Scripture.
Just hear God's voice and do what He says.

After all?

How did we end up with the Scriptures?
God provided it through what?

Chosen men!
 
Someday you may understand.

Let me guess, that requires me to bow down to you and agree with any and everything you say right?

You did not go to the Cross for my sins so I'll pass on following grumpy people such as yourself. Your gumpyness.

Don't you have followers that make you less grumpy? Why not converse with them?
 
Let me guess, that requires me to bow down to you and agree with any and everything you say right?
Not agree.

At least understand what was being said to disagree with it.

Don't concern yourself, Scooter.
Keep growing in grace and knowledge, and keep an open mind when you do not agree as well.

how about heb 1?

1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

2 ;Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;

3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

What about it?
 
you said it was only the Spirit?

All that you showed me, and that I understood?
Came to my understanding courtesy of the Holy Spirit.

We have no need for any man to teach us what to think.
Even about what we are being taught by a man.
The Spirit will teach us what to think about all things needing to be understood.
