No Man Can Teach Better Than the Holy Spirit

I would not recommend discipleship these days. I was not discipled and am so glad I was not. All the Christians in my life over the years were attempting to bring me into their doctrine of men. I studied for myself with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and was better off for it. I had no preconceived ideas of men, only the Scriptures and the Holy Spirit. Paul the apostle had only Christ and we can too.

Matthew 23:15-16 "… 15 Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You traverse land and sea to win a single convert, and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are. 16 Woe to you, blind guides! You say, ‘If anyone swears by the temple, it means nothing; but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.’…"

One brother who thought I knew nothing told me his counsel to another new believing woman was to look at hard core porn with her unsaved husband because she must obey her husband. This is not only unbiblical it is monstrous.

Placing guilt on a new believer to do evil just to obey an ungodly man is wicked. This is the kind of foolishness that I heard from these "disciplers." I met so many arrogant and self righteous people who called themselves Christian that I wanted nothing to do with their brand of Christianity.

If I had been seeking the approval of men I would have been sucked into their monstrous idea of womanly piety.

If I had not been seeking God but approval of men I would have been turned away from Christ for the mean spirited arrogance I saw every day.

I am thankful that, like Paul the apostle, I was taught for a number of years by Christ alone. I rejected all the foolishness modern Christians were attempting to feed me. Even as a new believer I didn't fit into the churchianity and rulishness of these pharisee types. If I had believed that this was Christianity I would have walked away and never looked back.

Instead the Lord taught me His way causing me to reject the nonsense those pharisees were wanting to force down my throat.

When I became born again I began to see all the things the pharisees in my world were doing as very wrong and not at all biblical. They hated this, they wanted to dominate me into their club of humanistic Christianity, but I wanted the real thing.

You see, no man can teach us better than the Holy Spirit Himself! NO MAN!
