Jesus' teachers know truths.Never ceases to amaze me why people waste time reading 3rd party commentaries on Scripture. Wanna understand Scripture try reading it. Don't read someone else's analysis of it, it's not going to be any better than your's.
The whole reason there are 32,000 different religions claiming to be Christian is because someone tried to find truths for themselves and failed. So now a disunified mass of confusion has popped up( trinity religions)-- their teachings are false.
there is one group that teaches Jesus' truths--once one learns Jesus' truths its easy to see who they are.
While I agree that there is no substitution for Jesus' teachings, there is something to be said about learning from those who have dedicated their lives to studying the Bible in detail. As long as you don't get mired down in doctrine.
There are heavyweights who have done enough homework to be like minded on the weightier issues. They can usually be trusted to stick to Bible knowledge without any denominational pressure.
For instance, I love Joseph Prince. Have no idea what denomination he is but I like that he has already looked up the Greek, the Hebrew, the Aramaic def. of what a scripture says deep down.
I may say, "I love Chuck." but information and understanding stop there.
But, I can tell you in one Greek word how I love Chuck.
Not eros, but philios . And when you read in the Bible of how much God loves us, the word means beyond comprehension, Agape love.
I like wisdom I don't have to work for!
