Why the teacher IS the authority in a class

Unmerited? Reckless? tee hee hee...

Are you a Sunday School teacher?

If you are....hoo boy, you must have some patient students.

I think I understand why you get into arguments-turned-ugly on almost all your threads here. Anyone who disagrees with you...you view disagreement with you as disrespectful...and you view the one who disagrees as arrogant.

Sad.
Provide a quote from me where I said that...you can't...again, unmerited accusations. Does your conscience ever bother you about that? Amazing isn't it? Now, for the third time, please stay ON TOPIC...and lay off the personal comments, got it? Good. Back on topic :)

I found something interesting on Wiki...
Mr.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr.


Jump to: navigation, search
Mr or Mr. is an English honorific used for a man too old to be addressed as Master, under the rank of knighthood, and, supposedly though not really in practice, above some undefined level of social status (see below). In Britain, though not in the United States, the title also excludes those who have the title Dr. It is an abbreviation of Mister, though it is almost never spelt out in normal usage. The plural of Mr is Messrs (IPA pronunciation: ['mesə(r)z]), an abbreviation for the French messieurs.
...
Mister is an alteration of Master; the equivalent female titles, Mrs, Miss, and Ms, are variants of Mistress. After the development of the word Mister for adult males, the title Master was retained and used for boys and young men.

The above information bolded, is what I just learned.
All this talk of "master" and then MR. M started this thread, got me to thinking...

Does this mean we are to call all Sunday School teachers, MR.... or MRS...? Since they are Masters of the Bible knowledge.
If you get your leads in life from Wikipedia, all I can say is friend, I can't help you at this point. :)

Is it possible for a student to teach a teacher something?
Any teacher that has quit learning or decided he or she can only learn from selective sources, is no longer learning anything significant.

"Brother Timothy, I think you are wrong and it is interpreted this way".

I know you are talking about the Timothy Paul was writing too...

But I have to say, when I am teaching, either in Bible Study, or my SS class, I don't mind people saying this....

I am learning too... And who knows, God may have used the priesthood of that believer to teach me another way of looking at the scripture...

I have not MASTERED everything in the Bible,
Neither have you.
Neither has any other SS teacher...

Those that say they do, are lying... and being deceived.

What would you do, if someone corrected you, and they were right, and you were wrong... It could happen.... Unless you think you have mastered everything.

If I hold to your belief, every teacher would have to master the Bible, before God could use them...
