Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The “teacher” is one of the
gifts
set in the
church
(
1 Cor. 12:28
28
And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. (1 Corinthians 12:28)
;
Eph. 4:11
11
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; (Ephesians 4:11)
); and the teacher is exhorted to be occupied with teaching (
Rom. 12:7
7
Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; (Romans 12:7)
). “Teaching” is the intelligent setting forth of the
truth
by
the
Holy
Spirit
, and this does not leave room for the mind and opinion of
man
.
Paul
left
Timothy
at Ephesus to charge some not to teach other doctrine than what the apostles taught; and those that did teach otherwise are said to be “puffed up, knowing nothing” (
1 Tim. 1:3
3
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, (1 Timothy 1:3)
;
1 Tim. 6:3-4
3
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, (1 Timothy 6:3‑4)
). This makes evident that no other teaching could be of
God
; hence the modern formula of “agreeing to differ” on vital points of doctrine is not recognized. On the contrary, the
apostle
said, “I beseech you,
brethren
, by the name of our
Lord
Jesus
Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same
judgment
” (
1 Cor. 1:10
10
Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. (1 Corinthians 1:10)
).
A caution is given in
James 3:1
1
My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. (James 3:1)
, “Be not many teachers,” for it involved greater responsibility. The same word (
διδάσκαλος
) occurs in
John 13:13
13
Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. (John 13:13)
, where the Lord owned Himself to be the Teacher, and He was many
times
addressed as “Teacher”; though in nearly all cases the AV has “
Master
.” He taught as one having
authority
, and not as the
scribes
.
