That's funny (not in a good way) to think God's promises of knowing the mind of Christ is only true for "teachers"
You think God is withholding revelation knowledge from His Children and only those called to full time ministry as a Pastor that teaches can have access to revelation knowledge? That's sad for you.
1 Corinthians 2:16 tells us that believers have access to the thoughts and understanding of Christ through the Holy Spirit, enabling them to comprehend spiritual truths and emphasizes the truth that Christians can think in alignment with Christ's perspective.
1 Corinthians 2:9-12
But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.
But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Reckon Jesus actually honors His Word???
John 15:7
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
Reckon Jesus was joking around when He said this?
Matthew 24:5
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
(includes those claiming they are anointed to speak for GGod which is what teachers claim)
2 Peter 2:1-3
But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying (contradicting, Not agreeing with) the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.
And through covetousness (idolatry) shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingers not, and their damnation slumbers not.
Jude 1:4
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness (no self control, living after the flesh), and denying (contradicting, opposing Jesus’ teachings) the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. (referring to false teachers and false brethren - see Matthew 13:24-30)
(Deny = Strong's G0720… to contradict, disavow, reject, deny, refuse - and Strong's G4483… the idea of pouring forth, to utter, speak of or say, command)
The Lord is very well able to teach someone apart from belonging to a local congregation if a person lives in an area where all the churches are teaching false doctrine which is the situation where I live.
I've either visited or corresponded by email with moist all churches in my area and they are all teaching heresy
I didn't contact the catholics, the JWs, or the mormons because we know up front those churches are heretical
I've belonged to several churches over the years and they all have one thing in common which is: "We'll tell you what to believe and if you don't like it you need to leave our church"
Corruption is rampant in the churches now, so feel free to sit under false doctrine if you'd like.
I have better spiritual sense than to be deceived in to walking in darkness with the masses
