THE RIGHT TO TEACH

[JCISGD]

Hi all, i only came to this forum recently and am a novice in experience of forums in general, but it seems that there are grey areas over the right to share sincerely held opinions, as i see some posters telling others they are wrong to the point of what i think is bullying.

The bible warns quite sternly about the responsibility of teaching. So i try to point back to my sorces who are recognised teachers, as i am not.

So my question here is, Who decides who is right?

I mean is there any accountability? not just people saying because i say so, especially from the older posters here.

Is there or should there be credentials ? If not then posters should remain on equal footing and not pose as being more. ( actually i think this is covered in the conditions posting )

If you mean how do we know whether those trying to teach is truth, then we need to be berean and search the Scripture ourselves to see if it measures up.

Also, I've noticed when someone is trying to put something out there that is blantanly false the mods close it right away.

not sure i'm clear as to what you're asking. could you elucidate?

Definition of elucidate (verb)

to make clear; to explain; to clarify

One of the great things about a forum like this is that people can come on here and demonstrate how little they know about a subject. It can also test their mettle, challenge their faith, make them think and maybe even go and do some research. It can teach them, albeit, the hard way, to conduct an informative argument or how meaningless an emotionally charged response can be.

Whenever I have attended a structured class I have learned what to do from some teachers, and from some, learned what not to do and they all had credentials.

Expecting this forum to ensure that all the posters were properly credentialed is the equivalent of expecting to continue to receive an allowance after finding a job...wouldn't you agree???

I think your questions would probably be best answered by reading the Terms of Service and maybe speaking to someone who is a Worthy Admin. They can give you a lot of valuable information.

not sure i'm clear as to what you're asking. could you elucidate?

I was wondering if there was a accountability structure here. i.e whos at the top and where are they coming from?

Is there a form to this face? Who are the moderators in reality, what are their doctrinal roots?

The reason i ask is that i wont try to argue against a mind set. i.e Physical depravity schools of thought etc as i think its unfruitful.

So i come on here to share my honest veiws, but have begun to wonder am i contending with an entrenched school of thought among the top dogs here ?

But also if someone says im twisting words and avoiding truth, and that i am wrong because they say so, Is there a mediator and a decider other than the obvious which is God and other than myself as i am baised by default.

Hello JCISGD. Here is a thread that the site owner, George, posted to explain the ministry.
