1 | Would his heart not be humbled? | Romans | humbledbyhisgrace | 191898 | ||
If one is called to teach the word of God Is he concerned with his own glory? Does he do so in a condescending way? Does he do so as if he is the authority on scripture? Does he approach it as if he is the only one who knows anything at all about God's word? What affect does pride have on his effectiveness to teach? Would his heart not be humbled at what God has called him to do and be obedient, humbled and gracious in that calling? Thoughts? Steve |

Greetings Val! Thanks for responding! By the way, you used an interesting scripture to respond with. I'm not sure what you meant by this scripture in regards to the questions. Notice I started the questions off with "If one is called to teach the word of God" By this, I mean called of God. God has gifted the person to teach His word. Considering this, do you think the scripture you offered applies to the questions? If so, how? By the way, I do love the fact you use much scripture in your post so don't be discourage by my questions. Some times the intent or meaning of what you are trying to say with scripture does not always come across without your thoughts to go with it. So I'm left a bit confused on the point you are trying to get across with the scripture you used and I don't want to assume :-) Thanks, Steve |

1 Cor 3:1 "And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ. 1 Cor 3:2 I gave you milk to drink, not solid food; for you were not yet able to receive it. Indeed, even now you are not yet able, 1 Cor 3:3 for you are still fleshly. For since THERE IS JEALOUSY AND STRIFE AMONG YOU, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men? 1 Cor 3:4 For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men? 1 Cor 3:5 What then is Apollos? And what is Paul? Servants through whom you believed, even as the Lord gave opportunity to each one. 1 Cor 3:6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. 1 Cor 3:7 So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth. 1 Cor 3:8 Now he who plants and he who waters are one; but each will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 1 Cor 3:9 For We ARE GOD'S FELLOW WORKERS; you are God's field, God's building. 1 Cor 3:10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But EACH MAN MUST BE CAREFULLY HOW HE BUILDS ON IT. 1 Cor 3:11 For no man can lay a foundation other than the one which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Cor 3:12 Now if any man builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, 1 Cor 3:13 EACH MAN'S WORK WILL BECOME EVIDENT; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself WILL TEST THE QUALITY OF EACH MAN'S WORK. 1 Cor 3:14 If any man's work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a REWARD. 1 Cor 3:15 If any man's work is burned up, he will SUFFER LOSS; but he himself will be saved, yet so as through fire. 1 Cor 3:16 Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 1 Cor 3:17 If any man destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him, for the temple of God is holy, and that is what you are. 1 Cor 3:18 Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you THINKS THAT HE IS WISE in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise. 1 Cor 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness before God. For it is written, "He is THE ONE WHO CATCHES THE WISE IN THEIR CRAFTINESS"; 1 Cor 3:20 and again, "THE LORD KNOWS THE REASONINGS of the wise, THAT THEY ARE USELESS." 1 Cor 3:21 So then LET NO ONE BOAST IN MEN. For all things belong to you, 1 Cor 3:22 whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you, 1 Cor 3:23 and you belong to Christ; and Christ belongs to God." NASB |

Val, Your response does not answer the question. It appears as if you are making a statement instead. Let me try again and see if this will help. My new question to you is, do you think James is speaking to men called of God to teach his word in James 3:1? My thoughts on this is no! The reason I say no is considering the fact it is God who calls and God who gifts, certainly James would not be encouraging those called of God and gifted to teach to go against the will of God (i.e. think twice about using your gift to teach because you "will incur a stricter judgment."). So, when James says "Let not many of you become teachers" and follows this with a warning of the "stricter judgment" for teachers it does not stand to reason he would be speaking to those called by God and gifted to teach. Your thoughts? Steve |

As I illustrated in the Corinthians passage - all will be judged - with a result being reward or suffer loss. So I guess my answer at this point in my journey is yes he seems to be speaking to all who hold the position of teacher and that would be supported by the Corinthians passage. Thank you for your patience. | ||||||

Hi Val, Thanks for responding! I agree that what James says in the last part of the verse "knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment" applies to all who teach the word regardless if they are called to teach or not but it would seem to me the first part of the verse gives us a good indication of who he was not speaking to :-) At least it seems this way to me! Anyway, thanks for responding. God Bless, Steve |
