SCRIPTURE UNDERSTANDING:

JAMES 3:1-2. NOT MANY OF YOU SHOULD BECOME INSTRUCTORS/TEACHERS, MY BROTHERS, KNOWING THAT WE SHALL RECEIVE GREATER JUDGEMENT. FOR WE ALL STUMBLE IN MANY THINGS. IF ANYONE DOES NOT STUMBLE IN WORD, HE IS A PERFECT/MATURE MAN, ABLE TO BRIDLE THE ENTIRE BODY.

Take the time to read the 3 chapters of Titus, there are multiple instructions on how your believing family, and the body of Yahusha, should be behaving towards each other, and those on the outside of Yahusha. I am afraid if a believer does not know and has conquered these behaviours, they will naturally disqualify themselves from any gifts, fruits, or power, by their own behaviour.

James 3:1-2 tells us a lot any teacher of Yahusha must be able to bridle the whole body.

Result of search for "bridle": 4269 machcowm makh-sohm' from 2629; a muzzle:--bridle. 4964 metheg meh-theg from an unused root meaning to curb; a bit:--bit, bridle. 7448 recen reh'-sen from an unused root meaning to curb; a halter (as restraining); by implication, the jaw:--bridle.

In other words we need to be able to bridle our tongue and body that our words are of Turah.

There is a doctrine today that says as soon as you are immersed, you have power to preach the good news. Teachers of today send out innocent believers with this understanding, and when they fall on their face, they come back to the "teacher," disappointed. They are then told they are wrong, and need to do the teaching courses. These believers are then trapped into a carpetbaggers net, and become slaves to their "teacher." The believer then, never receive their freedom to be taught by the spirit of Yahusha through His word, personally, because their is a false teacher in the doorway, stopping their entry into the Reign of Yahusha.

Titus 1:13-16. This witness is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply, in order for them to be sound in the belief, not paying attention to Yahudi fables, and commands of men who turn from the truth. Indeed, all things are clean to the clean, but those who are defiled and unbelieving no thing is clean, but both their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know Yahuah, but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unfit for any good work.

There are many coming from Christianity and Judaism, into the Natsarim movement, who have failed in their previous religious endeavours. The word is out, that the Natsarim movement is open slather, to gain religious success and easy money i.e. no real laws or authority, and plenty of money to be made. We have religious carpetbaggers swooping in for the spoils, deceiving converts enslaving them in irons of false doctrines. Many are setting themselves up as "TEACHERS" but have no spiritual credentials. A teacher must be a bridled person, with kindness love and understanding. Be careful brothers and sisters.
