oh my goodness i have read over that verse idk how many times and just now got it! I guess I didn't read that particular paper from Ray (or read over/past it most likely) awesome

claypot:
I hear ya mark. It totally amazes me how some things can be seen in a whole different light at different times in a person's journey. I so look forward to what's next on the agenda.

Seeing these words of God in this new light has very interesting possibilities.

Is there a difference between preaching and teaching? I mean the apostles were preaching right? Isn't that foolishness?  Or were they teaching???? Or were they just relating what they had experienced? They were trying to convert weren't they or just going around telling people the  'good news" ??

Good question! I looked both up on eSword...


G2784
κηρύσσω
kērussō
kay-roos'-so
Of uncertain affinity; to herald (as a public crier), especially divine truth (the gospel): - preach (-er), proclaim, publish.


G1321
διδάσκω
didaskō
did-as'-ko
A prolonged (causative) form of a primary verb δάω daō (to learn); to teach (in the same broad application): - teach.


It seems to me that "preaching" has to do with proclaiming a message [i.e. the message of the Good News Gospel and the coming Kingdom of God/Heaven]; whereas "teaching" is showing someone how to do something--like how to live a godly life, how to worship God, etc.



As far as who can or cannot be our teachers, I look no further than the following Scriptures:


“These things I write to you concerning those who are deceiving you. And the anointing which you obtained from Him is remaining in you, and you have no need that anyone may be teaching you, but as His anointing is teaching you concerning all, and is true, and is no lie, according as it teaches you also, remain in Him.”

- I John 2:26-27, Concordant Literal New Testament


“Though My Lord, should give you bread in short measure and water in scant allowance Yet will thy Teacher not hide himself any more, But thine eyes shall ever be looking on thy Teacher. So shall, thine own ears, hear a word from behind thee saying,—This, is the way, walk ye therein, When ye would turn to the right hand Or when ye would turn to the left.”

-   Isaiah 30:20-21, Rotherham’s Emphasized Bible


I don't believe this means that we cannot have earthly teachers, but that their teaching best be in accord with Our Lord & Teacher, Jesus Christ. Hence the reason we are told to "search the Scriptures" and "study" and "prove all things", etc.


That's my take; feel free to chime in anyone...
