Maybe I'm not being clear. If not I apologize.
Is it wrong to listen to what people teach? No, as long as it lines up with what YAH's word says. If it doesn't then it is false teaching, cut and dry.
Does ANYONE need to learn from man for someone to learn the truth of YAH's word? No we don't.
YAH is more than capable of teaching and revealing His truth to us without the help of man. To think He's not, is a serious error.
So, to say again. We are in no need of man's teachings for us to grow, learn, receive YAH's truth. We need only 3 things, the Holy Spirit, a surrendered heart, and an ear to hear.

Everything I do, is based on the Holy Scriptures. My spiritual growth is also based on the Holy Scriptures. Does that mean that I can't receive truth through someone's teaching? No I can, AS LONG as it is confirmed by YAH's Scriptures.
So, I don't know how much clearer I can make my point. YAH is the revealer of all truth, NEVER is man. Seems pretty easy to understand.
As for cults, they are started by the same as all the rest, listening to satan.

I have a question....lets suppose you study something and have a view the Holyspirit
reveals to you all truth(which qualified is true) But He doesnt want to teach you yet
because you are not mature enuf. I wont teach a 5 yr old how to fly a plane..nope not yet.
The result is claiming you know and that the Holyspirit taught you...when He didnt.
It has nothing to do with Gods ability. He lacks no ability...yet we grow.
He has set up means for our growth, some private through events, some from private study
some from other teachers He placed in the body etc.....the lone wolf doesnt prosper...or
at least will have a more difficult go of it.

I fully agree as I know that listening to what others wrote and seeking in the scriptures to find justification for what they said based upon my perception that they were lead of God's spirit, proved to only cause me to have in me their way of seeing things.
That is why what I advocate has not as much to do with length as it does logical ties of each thought to a passage of scripture or to a logical link of scriptures.
I believe scripture one says this, and I believe scripture one says this based upon scripture two, and when necessary I then show scripture three to reinforce why I think scripture two supports my conclusion as to scripture one.
I need no man's encyclopedia as I have God's full word. The only thing I might ever need is something to assist me to understand the original words of those passages. Not a man's encyclopedia.
And I will share a secret with you about how I use even the dictionaries of the original languages. I see in them that they too are not unable to be tailored by some personal interpretation. So I let my survey of the use of a word throughout scripture act as seasoning for their definitions.
For example, we need to know and understand basic Greek prepositions for many are translated imprecisely into our English. I would not have known that but that I began to see that our translators are guilty of translating various Greek prepositions by a common English word. And the spirit nagged me to see that they existed separately in Greek for a reason, that reason being that they have differences in meaning.
