that's not really true
the onus seems to be on those who call themselves 'teacher' and there are far too many who have never been called to be any teacher of any sort
how about babes in Christ? how about those who are quite young who accept Christ?
not everyone is retired and studies the Bible at leisure
however, I do believe God knows those who are His and He does lead them even though sometimes the path may be winding and some of us have to unlearn things we have been taught when under teachers we did not know were false

This is the case in most countries and in the three umbrella groups of faith, Christian, Moslem, and Judaism.......the majority ar "born into their faith," but when it comes to knowledge of their own doctrine, they simply follow the crowd that does the same as they.
The truth is, the more any read the Word and delve as deeply as they are able, the more they are apt to be objects of inquisition, unjust inquisition.....and so it goes.

Very true, and many websites teach false doctrines themselves. And yes, there are many believers who are babes in Christ because of various reasons; no bible, no teacher, no discipleship...and many remain babes in Christ for their entire lives or even fall under false doctrine because of their lack of scriptural discernment.

I truly hope this is not your opinion of elders who are in Christ!
When the Holy Spirit entered into me by the Hand of God nearly 50 years ago, I dropped everything and went to the mountains to read the Word and share with all who would hear me.
When I say I dropped everything, I mean everything. I read the Word for three years in the Rocky Muontains, and spent the winters on a circuit of three states sharing the Word with ayone who would heeaqr, and there were many.
Now, in my late years, due to encroaching blindenss I read far less than when I was making the time as I grew in Christ, yeshua. I do read everyday, but less, actually I hear the Word read for me.
No one should assume oler people jkust read at their leisure and put it in print published for all to taqke as some kind of new dogma of the Body of Christ……...a little repect goes a long way for your older family in Christ……..Praise god, He is worthy, not we.

Ideally all Christians should be in local churches where gifted evangelists, pastors, and teachers are helping babes in Christ to grow.
Also, ideally, each new convert should be personally discipled by a mature brother or sister (depending on gender).
Unfortunately, evangelical and fundamentalists churches have been moving further and further away from the New Testament pattern for some time, while false teachers have been proliferating within and outside the churches. Thus Christians are frequently left to their own devices to sink or swim.

I wouldn't give a lot of credit to that which invokes the H word over every little thing. That type mind set caused countless innocent people to suffer excruciating torture and death due to the predisposition to label anything they wished to use as leverage against those they hated as Heresy.

Psa 63:9 But those that seek my soul, to destroy it, shall go into the lower parts of the earth.
Eph 4:8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men.
Eph 4:9 (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
Eph 4:10 He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things).
Hell is in the lower parts of the earth.
1Co 15:54 So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
1Co 15:55 O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?
Jesus descended in to the lower parts of the earth and conquered death, hell, and the grave.
2Pe 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.
2Pe 3:11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness,
2Pe 3:12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?
2Pe 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.
This current heaven and earth has been tainted with sin, so the heavens shall melt with fervent heat, and the earth and the works of the earth shall be burned up, and they will be dissolved.
And there will be a new heaven and a new earth where sin has never been, and sin will never be, and there is no hell among them.
Rev 20:14 And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
Hell is the lower parts of the earth, and death and hell is cast in to the lake of fire, so the earth shall be cast in to the lake of fire and burn up.
All sin must be purged with fire, and heaven and earth has been tainted with sin that cannot be washed away, like there is no good thing that dwells in the flesh and the sin cannot be washed away from the flesh, which is why the saints put off the flesh, and receive a glorified body.
With the mind we serve Christ.
