679.0. "Teachers" by CSC32::J_CHRISTIE (We will rise!) Wed May 19 1993 20:10

	Isaiah 2:3  And many �people� shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go
	up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of
	Jacob; and he will �teach� us of his ways, and we will walk in
	his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word
	of the LORD from Jerusalem.

	John 8:1  Jesus went unto the mount of Olives.
	8:2  And early in the morning he came again into the temple,
	and all the �people� came unto him; and he sat down, and �taught�
	them.

	Acts 5:25  Then came one and told them, saying, Behold, the men
	whom ye put in prison are standing in the temple, and �teaching�
	the �people.�

	To teach, according to the Bible, is honorable thing.  Jesus was
even called 'Rabbi,' which means teacher.

	What was your favorite or most influential teacher like?

Peace,
Richard

679.1	Bridgitte	WELLER::FANNIN		`Thu May 20 1993 03:11`	7
	My favorite and most influential teacher will be three years old in 2 weeks. She has teaches me that I'm stronger than I think, that I can handle anything. She has taught me that not only does entropy exist, it knows my name and address. She teaches me to throw out the rule books and the formulae, that God lives in every breath, every precious moment. She teaches me to be true to myself. She teaches me that we all really would prefer cherry pie to broccoli.
679.2	animals	SPARKL::BROOKS	a fable for tomorrow	`Thu May 20 1993 09:30`	12
	.1 - Thanks for writing that about Bridgitte! These days I often look for instruction to my 13-year-old Siamese cat, Clow, whose message is that, when all else fails, you can just sit there and purr... I'm thinking of asking her to run for Congress, ;-) Dorian
679.3		UHUH::REINKE	Atalanta! Wow, look at her run!	`Thu May 20 1993 13:51`	8
	I echo Ruth on this (and I think I've mentioned this in C-P before), my greatest teachers have been my two children, Patrick and Kendra. My nightly prayers always include thanks to God for gracing me with these two beautiful loving souls who have continuously shone their Light on my path. Ro

679.6		CSLALL::HENDERSON	Friend will you be ready?	`Thu May 20 1993 14:58`	12
	Mine will hang them up after a shower...problem is they hang them on top of another towel (which is usually dry). Ji

	Dear God! This towel thing is more universal than I'd imagined! Richard
679.8		RIPPLE::BRUSO_SA	Horn players have more brass	`Thu May 20 1993 16:02`	13
	<<< Note 679.7 by CSC32::J_CHRISTIE "We will rise!" >>> >Dear God! This towel thing is more universal than I'd imagined! >Richard I'm beginning to suspect it might be epidemic. It certainly appears to be contagious. Sandy
679.9		CSC32::J_CHRISTIE	We will rise!	`Thu May 20 1993 16:40`	7
	II Timothy 1:11 Whereunto I am appointed a preacher, and an apostle, and a �teacher� of the Gentiles. Paul claims to have been a teacher among other things. Richard
679.10		CSC32::J_CHRISTIE	We will rise!	`Fri May 21 1993 16:04`	8
	I Corinthians 12:28 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. Paul puts teachers even before miracle-workers and healers. Richard
679.11		CSC32::J_CHRISTIE	We will rise!	`Mon May 24 1993 18:35`	8
	I Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to �teach;� (KJV) It seems that an aptitude for teaching was desirable in early church officers. Richard
679.12		TALLIS::SCHULER		`Tue May 25 1993 10:04`	8
	> A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, How does the Roman Catholic church reconcile Scripture like this with their policy (standard, rule, ??) that priests not marry? Just curious... /Greg
679.13		CVG::THOMPSON	Radical Centralist	`Tue May 25 1993 10:51`	3
	RE: .12 I sort of wondered about that when I wrote topic 532. Alfred
679.14	Seems Simple	JUPITR::HILDEBRANT	I'm the NRA	`Tue May 25 1993 11:19`	6
	Re: .13/.12 My take is that the "rule" that Priests/Bishops shouldn't get married is wrong. Marc H.
679.15		CSC32::J_CHRISTIE	We will rise!	`Tue May 25 1993 20:09`	10
	John 14:26 But the Comforter, [which is] the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall �teach� you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. It appears that part of the job of the Holy Spirit is to teach. Peace, Richard
