@sonship saidIt's good to hear. I think you'd be better off pouring yourself into these kinds of things you mention and maybe some of the things I mentioned too because ~ and remember, you asked for this evaluation ~ I think you are not suited to teaching, temperamentally speaking and in terms of your personality. As a self-appointed teacher, you come across as a joyless and ill-tempered regurgitator of rote-learned and internalized dogma; I don't think it is your true calling at all.
I have visited prisons, women's detention centers, and shelters for youths of troubled families. I have not ignored some needing cloths or were needy in other ways, allowed people homeless to live in my home. A woman living out of a car we opened our home to for a year and a half. At this very moment our home is being shared with someone going through a messy divorce.

I have great joy. And helping some people to know they can as well come to know Christ is a great way to honor men and allow God to reach others.
Your atheist seal of approval is not needed.
And some who have received the Lord may be helped to see there is more to just initial salvation. I understand that I run the risk of many words being rather incomprehensible to some unbelievers - Some. My experience is that some others do pick up some understanding.
All this nonsense about rote and regurgitation is exaggerated by some ad nauseum.
Some may have realized that I field questions drawing on my own experience and research. That I cannot write without copy and paste is a lie.
And repeating those who have pioneered ahead of me is no intrinsic wrong doing anyway. Though you hope it will be my embarrassment to have you point out that what others taught I teach, I consider the criticism as a badge of honor.
Paul told younger Timothy - " Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you." (Phil. 4:9)

"Whatever . . . you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me, . . . "
I do fear the One before whom I will stand and give an account of my service.
But you're not that one that I fear.

Do you want me to enter into your head and always think the way you think?
No.
Paul's criteria there by which I submit myself is of God.
You don't have to believe it.
Now, something that I would not want to be TAUGHT I also might say to anyone trying to teach me - "You're terribly unqualified you know."
@sonship saidYou asked for evaluations. You sound like you didn't actually want them ~ unless you agreed with them. Maybe this thread was a bad idea.

And maybe you're wrong.
If I didn't think I should put it up, I would have not put it up.

Anyone else? Here's your chance.
Grade me on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest.
1.) ought not to contend
2.) be gentle toward all
3.) apt to teach
4.) bearing with wrong
5.) in meekness
This evaluation is somewhat following Divegeester's example request to be diagnosed.
And there are no grades less then 1. Okay?
@sonship saidAre you seriously begging people to talk about you.

@sonship saidI think that you think too highly of yourself.
