There are many who consider themselves Bible scholars. But what is a Bible Scholar?? A bunch of people who consider you one. It is not Biblical it is a man-made term to consider another to think more highly of themselves then they ought to!!(Romans 12:3) I am a disciple of both God's Word and of our Jesus!
For indeed when can anyone ever say they cannot learn anymore from God's Word?? a scholar?? LOL Brother OLDMANBOR NAGAIN you are a teacher; can a teacher know all about the subject he or she teaches?? You became a teacher because you yourself are teachable! And because you wish to help others learn from the knowledge you obtained. Very commonable!! There is but one real teacher who does know all things, and you know of whom I speak, our Lord Jesus.
For us brother we do the best we can from what we have learned and are still learning, and this will be the case until we really graduate and be with our Lord. At least brother this is the way I look at this. We consider what we learn, because someone states something to be a fact does not make this a fact for us when it comes to human teaching. SO!! We believe and take as we wish to, we cannot be forced to. I state these things for others to consider, they and they alone can make this a fact for themselves. Blessing brother!

Holy Spirit speaks only what He is given, not from His own.

God the Father: God OF man
God the Son: God AS man
God the Holy Spirit God WITHIN man
This is why the unpardonable sin is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit

"Eat the meat, spit the bones", I still profit from Ravi's ministry.
Most "Bible teachers" talk about Him, jglm.org teaches relationship, not religion.
Every week they share abundant testimonies.
Jesus told us most would have an outward form of godliness in these days whereas His Own would do greater works than He .

I won't name anyone specifically, but a good Bible scholar knows and understands Koine Greek. They practice sound principles of Bible interpretation, letting the bible interpret the Bible. People to avoid are those who resort to "spiritual interpretation." In other words, they see things in the text that aren't really there and claim the spirit revealed it to them. Also, watch out for people who are disciples of "God's generals" or "Christian celebrities." These people follow the teachings of men, not God's word.

Exercise care with 'biblical scholars' like Ravi Zacharias. His academic credentials were fraudulent, he was a sexual predator, and he had a lust for the $dollar$. You can tell a tree by it's fruit.
Ravi reminds me of Simon the Magician, using the Gospel for his own intents.
And if you think that all Ravi's drawbacks can be overlooked because he knew Scripture, then keep in mind that Satan also knows Scripture. Satan attempted to use Scripture in the Temptation of Jesus, in the desert.
You will know a tree by it's fruits!!!!!!!!!!!
