Who should teach God’s word

With every other subject you can only teach if you have experience. You can’t coach unless you have played. To become a teacher you need a degree in the subject you want to teach or one closely related. You wouldn’t tell someone how to drive to Dallas unless you have made the drive. It’s different with the bible. Some pastors don’t even read the bible. They dissect verses until the scriptures have no meaning. Other scriptures are completely ignored. Their sermons start off with scripture, but then divulge into mindless chatter that sometimes contradict the scripture they just read. I would say only those who have read the bible and applied it to lives should teach, but life cannot be taught, it must be experienced. I know God is in control and His will should be done on earth as it is in heaven. God allows nations to become corrupt and destroy themselves. God was God when Assyria, Babylon, Rome, and the Soviet Union existed as world powers. He was still God when these nations lost their power. Read the word of God and let the holy spirit speak to your heart.

If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. 1 Timothy 6:3-4 (ESV)

Yes I did. "Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear?..." Mark 8:18

So are you saying that you teach a doctrine and it agrees with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness?

I wouldn't say it if it didn't.
