Unlearned in mans religious traditions.

Bible college is where one goes to get skilled in mans traditions.

Making much of the Bible of none effect to them.
lolzzz...

Totally disagree. Learning from godly men doesn't make the bible "of none effect" to them. That's a ridiculous and false charge.

That said, you get all your learning from God? Is that what you're saying?

I get all my learning from the holy scriptures.

Psalm 119:98-99
Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.

You get all you believe from the bible, but that is different than where you get what you've learned or believe that it means.

You need to learn from others, obviously you misuse scripture and are avoiding proving your case.

James 5:9
Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
Another verse out of context, misused, misapplied? That has nothing to do with our discussion. I have no grudge against you, just trying to show that your initial post I responded to doesn't prove your case.

By the way, you need men to teach you, and you don't have more wisdom or understanding than they have. Quoting a verse and claiming it for yourself doesn't prove your case. You at least know that, correct?

Totally wrong and not scriptural.

I learn from scripture through the wisdom and knowledge God gives freely to believers.

Philippians 4:9
Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.

2 Timothy 3:14
But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them

Hmmm. Seems perfectly clear those texts prove the recipients learned from *gasp* a man.

The "in me" and "of whom thou hast learned them" which you've underlined refer to Paul, a man, and from whom they learned.

You need to learn from men as well, God ordered it this way.

1 John 2:27
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.

Where are your prove texts by the way...
I don't need a "prove" text. I'm just pointing out you're still misusing Scripture.

I hope someday when you're humble and not so proud and uptight you'll be able to see your error.

Another verse misapplied and out of context.

And you implied that I should learn from man today after I pointed out that I learn from the inspired scripture writers.
