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 |

2 | Would his heart not be humbled? | Romans | Val | 192119 | ||
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 |
