Bible is to be taught, and that God has gifted some as
teachers (Ephesians 4:11; I Corinthians 12:28; Romans
12:7), but the process of Biblical instruction (teaching) and
the product of the instruction (Bible-knowledge), must not
become ends in themselves. It appears that there has been
the perpetuation of a poisonous and counter-productive
pedagogy in evangelical ecclesiasticism, a "teaching
model" that perpetuates book-religion, Bible knowledge,
and getting "fed" through Scripture instruction. This creates
dysfunctional Christianity, mere Christian-religion, which
does not issue forth in the outworking expression of
Christ's life.
Christianity is not a book-religion! Christianity is Christ
functioning as the expressive revelation and Word of God
in man.
