Jam 3:1 ¶ My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
Jam 3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same [is] a perfect man, [and] able also to bridle the whole body.
1Ti 5:17 Let 515 0 the elders 4245 that rule 4291 well 2573 be counted worthy 515 of double 1362 honour 5092, especially 3122 they who labour 2872 in 1722 the word 3056 and 2532 doctrine 1319.

Teaching youth...or anyone was then in early church time a calling...for gifted brethren...now I figure...elders might labour in the word...a teacher is IMO a too high calling...I am wondering, whether that title/word is in bibilical matters apropiate today...still what sadens me is, that people become unfaithful...this is something of ultimate importance in Christian life...loyality...faithfulness...it's like engagement/marriage...

I am always sad ...hearing about marriage breakups...I am sad about people denying their former faith...first witnessing about Jesus and then calling that off...it's a negative witness IMO...as a separation or divorce is a negative witness.It's like falling from some pedestal...you yourself admitted, that you knew matters quite well...biblical matters I assume too...to abandon that is a mystery to me.

If Jesus is not dear enough to you anymore to confess and witness about HIM ...like before...in front of youth or "strangers"...well, then you must have met with great "disappointment"...that's the only way "it makes sense to me"...that's why you also resort now to "private faith"...when the Bible talks about "the faith"...saving faith ...the other is just a private making up of spiritual matters...to pacify oneself in an uneasy world...would never be enough for me...that is like a dog going back...you know

It doesn't matter in detail to me what exactly your or some else's "yoga-position" is...what matters to me...who your "guru"/rabbi/teacher is...has become...and since God sent His only begotten Son...rejecting that...matters to me...that is the contrary of "teaching" ...it's resigning...it's not having convictions anymore...regarding Jesus ... some loss happened somewhere...


and it is not my conviction, that everyone should construct himself at leisure his own private "Jesus"...either it is Bible-based...or it becomes too private....IMO baseless...totally relative and irrelevant...spiritually.
