and woe to all those wishing to be teachers.

SW, hub and I can certainly appreciate you cautioning others, as we so often do - but, as you well know,
when God gives us a direct order, no matter how we may feel about it, we must obey!!!
we have, over these many years seen not only on the telly, but in various 'churches', self-proclaimed
teachers and preachers proclaiming that their own 'doctrines were 'law' -
but we also know that there are 'true-appointed-teachers of God; we must concede, it is like finding
a needle in a haystack for the many, especially for the 'babes' - it's so very disheartening when watching
the 'televangers'...
we both prefer being 'sharers', but are always on call'...
EPH. 4:10.
He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that He might fill all things.)
11.
And He gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12.
For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of The Body of Christ:
13.
Till we all come in the unity of the Faith, and of the knowledge of The Son of God, unto a perfect man,
unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
Here's your Christmas present, Ruby
"One has to be independent and pursue what is true between themselves and God, or live in conflict and doubt following people. People most often don't know where they themselves are going, and change their minds constantly. People dishing out religious advice and assuring you they know the truth won't be there to vouch for your spirit after death, or get you out of hell, nor can you sue them for damages, if their advice was wrong."
I will consider it, thank you for the suggestion@Magenta... could you do one with...

Oh, yes, Gabe, your rep was around 180 when someone made a thread just to have others give rep points, and it did go up even after that. The thread was shut down, by the way, as it was seen as an abuse of how the system was meant to work (which it definitely was).Haha nah, I remember always wanting to catch up to a certain member who was always 2 to 4 points ahead of me. When she had 12 I had 10 and when she had 17 I had 14. I remember getting up to 17 and she was at like 21. The problem was that it was based on other people clicking the "add reputation" button on one of your posts. Most people didn't even know about the reputation button and those that did usually never bothered or forgot about it. But I had a lot of green lights! I think I had all of them lit.
