teachers are anointed when the time is right for there own sake, because part of being a teacher is to correct in love. Something you've failed miserably on so many occasions.
But God is also only going to anoint you when your ready so that he doesn't seriously have to punish you, when you commit bad teaching.
And that would also be testing your works in his fire by his will going against your will.
"Free will" in the Bible? ~ Freedom is something believers are called to (Galatians 5 verse 13). We need Jesus to “set us free” (Galatians 5 verse 1). If Jesus has not freed us from the bondage of sin, then we are still slaves to sin (Romans 6 verses 6-7). Freedom is found in the presence of the Spirit (2 Corinthians 3 verse 17). Only Jesus can give us true freedom (John 8 verse 36). Only through His lovingkindness can we truly make choices unfettered by a nature that is inherently hostile toward God.
Learn what the Bible tells the believer how one teaching should teach certain false teachers.
After you do?
You will know why.
Some Brits make politeness into a fetish.
It can become an obsession.
The teachers of the Bible could be polite.
But, not always.
When faced with apostasy the prophets when needed would border on being vulgar according to your "properness."
Yes... Polite to those who really want to learn, and not to simply learn better ways to obstruct and distract those wanting to learn.
You are not fooling anybody.
Because someone disagrees with you doesn't mean they are obscuring truth or adding confusion. It is actually when questions aren't answered that truth is obscured and confusion is added. Adding demeaning comments and derision also adds to the problem. It's the small mind that employs derision to defend their positions rather than truth.

Correct. Rom. 10:17; Jn. 6:45, 6:63; Acts 11:14, etc etc.
Religion is not Christianity. Though, religion will call itself Christian.
Religion is man thinking he can have the approval of God by his works of ritual and following traditions of a church.
Very few Brits ever became excellent exegetical teachers. Teaching in depth so the believers can have accurate doctrines to think with to be having the Spirit transform them into making them a part of the transformation of their minds.

@Genez : Bro, that's a bit harsh, isn't it: saying that brother Jordon doesn't belong to a Christian forum?!
Yep you even exalt your self above teachers, because your idea of being loving is gay if not done authoritatively when the time comes for you to rebuke how you feel it should be done, or what ever it is that's tempting you, none of your excuses are justified, like your endless false opinions bullying harshness false accusations, denial of what the word actually says.
Your just being giving another excuse by what ever has your ego exalted, to once again go against authority with an excuse thats not even worth commenting on for me,
Thats all your doing.
Temptation is telling you to do it, you have an ego that just stone cold and self exalting.
For me your works are not of God.

I do not even know what your concept of a "so called" free will might be.
We can be talking about two different things all the time.
