Calvinists are accused of "following men" or "following doctrines of men" countless times per day in this section. Those who espouse such views typically will exclaim immediately after making such a charge, "I need no other teacher but the Holy Spirit", and judging by some of their posts, it's pretty clear that they've had no teacher.
My question, which I pose to both sides, is, is this statement true? Is it true that a Christian has no need of a teacher?
Secondly, if a man is taught by another man, can we conclude that he follows that man, rather than Christ?
If it is then Jesus is a liar. He gifted and gave His Church, teachers.
No; however, some will do just that. The apostle Paul said, follow me as I follow Christ, for instance. Good and godly teachers help us to follow Christ, not themselves.
