We all need to be more like Epaphroditus. Willing to lay down our very own lives for the Sake of Our Lord God Almighty who is God The Father, God The Son and God The Holy Spirit. And for the sake of the brethren who are in and are of Our Lord and Saviour Christ Jesus.
+CubalayaBandit..thank you for your comment. I lived most of my life living to someones opinion and found it a crappy way to live. I Seek Jesus and His Righteousness..and Now I am Saved and Free and Whole. the only thing a man Can have..is an opinion..because no one is God..But God..and He is The Only One Who Knows what is Right for me. You are accepting Paul's opinion. And it may be right for you..but it is Not Jesus Righteousness for me.
The Only Right Bible Study..is under the guidance and direction of Jesus..to you..Personally. There is No man that can tell me what in the bible is Right for me..or right for anyone else. You people do Not understand. Jesus is Not the bible..or any other book. Jesus is Alive and With you..for a Reason. What you are doing is a good way to get mislead.
God gives us each different spiritual gifts. Mentioned here in the Bible, "In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you. If your gift is serving others, serve them well. If you are a teacher, teach well. If your gift is to encourage others, be encouraging. If it is giving, give generously. If God has given you leadership ability, take the responsibility seriously. And if you have a gift for showing kindness to others, do it gladly. Romans" 12:6-8 NLT. Teaching is one gift he gives us. So we know that it is in God's good plan to have us humans teach the Bible. Of course there have been false teachers before, but as a listener it is our job to double check what each teacher says The body of a church should certainly not follow a pastor blindly, and should get involved with reading the Bible themselves. I'm saying this to warn you, because I dearly love you as a sibling in Christ, do not discount the fellowship and learning opportunities that God gives us and encourages us to partake in, in the Bible that you rightly value over the word of men. It is a hard balance to find, but a worthwhile one.
Pastor John is a master teacher and a kindly, patient teacher.

Who told you Jesus is alive and with you? Where do you know that from?
