Bible Study Teacher Sign Up Thread

[reddogs]

This is the 'Sign Up' thread for those who want to be teachers in the New SDA/Bible Study Forum.

Per pending vote on rules, the Bible studies will be started and lead by individuals who are Seventh-day Adventists and who sign up to be a teacher. Per pending rules, if any challenge is made to the teacher, they can ask to be approved by a majority vote.

Since it is pending on the vote on rules, it will be used as a list for those wishing to teach, then if/when the rules approving it are passed, as the list of the teachers in the New SDA/Bible Study Forum if no challenges.

Sign in and for the first time we will have everyone fill out a short questionaire so that those coming in can know a little about their teacher.

Here is the site for 'The Adult Sabbath School Bible Study Guides' or the Sabbath School Lessons:

I sumofox would like to particapted in your new bible studies as a teacher. thanks

[IntoTheCrimsonSky]

I'd love to, but I'm going to stick to periodic vollenteering as I'm too much a newbie. :)

I was just thinking, that maybe we need to have some guidelines and an explination of what exactly the teachers would be doing, before people apply.

Like, for example, how many teachers can be selected. The difference between a teacher and a vollenteer. The process of how studies will be set up.

Also, maybe an actual questionaire to fill out when applying. Like, how long you've been a Christian/Adventist. have you taught before. Why do you want to do this. What topics are you hoping to teach on..etc.

What do you guys think?

(This is still fine to set up those who are wishing to, though)

I agree. There should be certain criteria to qualify people for teaching.

[IntoTheCrimsonSky]

How about we put this on the side-burner untill the rules are all worked out? It might be better to stay focussed on one process at a time, for now. :)

Yes, but I had already stuck my foot in by posting the Bible Lessons for this quarter which is what I had talked about doing from the start. So I thought we should do it in a orderly fashion to prepare for the rules, so signing up does no harm and allows for a orderly review of who is putting any bible studies.....

Dont worry, God is guiding we just have to follow....
Red

[woobadooba]

I have decided to remove my name from the list of teachers. I'm having issues with the way things are going in here (the SDA forum and CF in general), and I'm not sure that this is going to work out.

I do want to continue on with the memory verse thread though. I could really use that kind of fellowship right now.

[thecountrydoc]

Hello my brothers and sisters,

May I suggest that Red go ahead with the Sabbath School Lessons. It would seem to be in the best interest of all concerned to start using the regularly schedualed SS Lessons guides as soon as possible because each day that goes by is another day that we as a group won't have covered what is available for study. This is not to say that we couldn't go back and cover them later, but I think you all will agree that that is most unlikely.

In addition, there may be some who dont have a SS Quartely and next week we start a new quarter with a new topic. By starting now we will each have a complete set of lessons for our own refference when the quarter is finished in December. These notes may include additional thoughts from others that otherwise would not be had.

I must say that Red has done his homework well. He has posted two excellent links to help you sudy. Also by starting now with the SS Lessons you will get used to studying together. I really don't think anyone will get off topic or start any debate over the SS Lessons.

Do I hear an AMEN?

Respectfully, your brother in Christ,
Doc

Wonderful, Doc. I totally agree. :) Considering it's just going along with the quaterlies there's really no need for any sort of criteria to chose Red, I don't think.

Wasn't aware we were already at a new quarter! I haven't touched mine since July when I last made it to church. :( Shame on me!

Looking forward to studying with you guys!

:( Sorry to hear that, Woob. Nonetheless, I can understand. Maybe by the time we actually get around to having this all up and running you'll change your mind!

[OntheDL]

Yes, Red, please make SS into a sticky. So people who wish can participate in it.

I was thinking of making a subfora for SS. But that'd be too many layers.

Questionaire (pending rules)

"How long have you been a member of the SDA church?"
My whole life (38 years).

"Why do you wish to be a teacher here?"
To teach the pure and true Gospel of Jesus Christ.

"Have you had any previous teaching experience?"
Approx. 8 years of teaching 7-12 grade Bible classes, 10 years of pastoring experience, being on the committee that put the curriculum together for 7-12 grade Bible, and 3 years of 'other' teaching experience.

The pure and true Gospel of Jesus Christ, and subjects related to it.*

*In the even that this forum becomes an open and honest Bible study forum, without pre-determined answers to questions raised, I would like to be considered. Until then I'll consider my 'resume' to be 'on file'.

Thanks!;)

[TrustAndObey]

Where is the "DOH" smiley when you need it?

[sentipente]

Woob, you have not asked for my advice so I won't give it. However, based on several years of counseling experience your "withdrawal" post indicates that you could use it if you so desire.

Thanks for the 'resume' entry. :)

I really hope this ends up for the better, so many have concerns about it.

[thecountrydoc]

Hello to all,

Here is my application to be a teacher:

"How long have you been a member of the SDA church?"
All my life except for a couple of hiatus'.

"Why do you wish to be a teacher here?"
There is a need for those who are new Christians, and those who are new to the faith, to learn how understand the basics of Bible study so that they can grow in faith and clearly defend their faith.

"Have you had any previous teaching experience?"
Yes. I have taught a varity of subjects including, but not limited to, the training of denominational workers for evangelism.

"What subject(s) do you have in mind to teach?"
I would like to take the student completly through the Bible basics for study and progress through principal topics that need to be understood.

If anyone has additional questions please feel free to ask.

Respectfully, your brother in Christ,
Doc

[sentipente]

It would be helpful to know the teaching philosophy of these teacher wannabees (couldn't think of another way to phrase it.)

[freeindeed2]

I'm sure you noticed that I considered it to 'be on file' until if and when the forum would open up to true honest and open Bible study without pre-determined answers to questions.

Why would anyone have concerns about someone who has lived and taught SDA beliefs, teachings, culture, doctrine, and theology their whole lives?

Yes, I noticed that.

That was the concern I was addressing, that some don't think the studies themselves will be..hm..as good as they could be, to put it simply.

Not concerns about your abiltity to teach. ;)

Free, when it comes to 'concerns' can you honestly say that you are not in disagreement with any one of the 28 fundamental beliefs of the Seventh-day Adventist church, and can do your bible studies and not violate the rule that nor should anything that is contrary to any of those beliefs be inculcated within a Bible study. ?

No, I can't. Which is why I qualified it with this statement:
"...it to 'be on file' until if and when the forum would open up to true honest and open Bible study without pre-determined answers to questions."
The fact that all the answers to any questions that may be brought up have already been determined disqualifies it as a true, honest, and open Bible study. I would be open to leading a true study that was not designed to meet an agenda and arrive a pre-arranged destination determined by the interests of a man-made denomination.

[DarylFawcett]

The new rules are now in effect.

[woobadooba]

OK, I have decided to go ahead and give this a go.

"How long have you been a member of the SDA church?"

About 11 years

"Why do you wish to be a teacher here?"

Because I believe God has given me the gift to teach

"Have you had any previous teaching experience?"

I worked as a Bible worker, and taught a few Sabbath school classes. I haven't had as much experience as I should have because for the most part elderly folk have tried to suppress my gift (most aren't willing to give up a Sabbath school class to allow the youth to develop their gifts).

"What subject(s) do you have in mind to teach?"

I would like to go through the epistles of John, verse by verse. But whatever the Lord inspires me to teach is what I desire to share with whomever it is that is eager to learn.

[tall73]

Are there official teachers yet? Where will they be listed?

[woobadooba]

Are there official teachers yet? Where will they be listed?

What we really need is a facilitator. I won't even attempt to do this because most people have no confidence in my ability to lead in this forum.

So if you would like to try to take on that role then that would be good, since it is one that is needed.

[freeindeed2]

Are there official teachers yet? Where will they be listed?
If there are no official teachers yet, then there should be no reports for SDA's starting threads here, unless everyone who has started a thread or is currently teaching in threads gets reported and warned too.

And, in addition, the rule 5.3 needs to be restated to say that ONLY approved teachers can start threads. The warning that has been handed out so far is unfair.

[Jimlarmore]

I would like to throw my hat in the ring to be a teacher.
Questionaire (pending rules)

"How long have you been a member of the SDA church?"
Six years

"Why do you wish to be a teacher here?"
I feel I can be a good witness for the truth that is found in the Bible.

"Have you had any previous teaching experience?"
I've taught for 21 years in the Oklahoma Vo-tech public school system. I'm currently an elder in my church and have taugh adult Sabbath school lessons for three years as well as preaching.

"What subject(s) do you have in mind to teach?"
General Bible interpretation but I would really like to focus on the book of Daniel and Revelations. The main doctrinal studies we hold also.

Can't change it to say only teachers can start threads though, because it's still the Newbie forum also. That would turn it soley into a study forum..Erg.

[Jimlarmore]

No, I can't. Which is why I qualified it with this statement:"...it to 'be on file' until if and when the forum would open up to true honest and open Bible study without pre-determined answers to questions."

Not being raised as an adventist I have to take exception to what you are saying here. Except for the IJ all of the doctrines of the sda church are very solid Biblically. The IJ is weak in some areas but still is supported by some major texts in the Bible. Open honest
Bible study is what got me into the sda church.

Just to say, considering the rules have been voted..maybe a new thread should be started that states the questions and such, without all of the inbetwen discussion this one has. :)

Those who are current teachers could also be listed in the OP, and could be changed monthly as per applicants. Sorta makes it more organized.

Can we suggest a topic to be studied or do you go along with the quarterly, etc?

Hi Lainie,

That's so awesome, thanks Doc!!

One thing I'd definitely like to study with fellow Adventists is the "schoolmaster" mentioned in Galatians 3. It's an interesting topic that I think we'd all benefit from exploring. The translation is a little "off" and the true meaning of the word paidagōgos is pretty surprising. Once you know the true meaning, Galatians 3 and 4 make perfect sense.

Also, I'm still dying to dive into Hebrews 3 and 4, and the three "rests" mentioned in those chapters.

As you know, I start back to college in August and I won't have any free time then (not that I have much now with my summer job). I'd really like to study either/or of the two things I just mentioned before I get back into the craziness of my classes.

[TrustAndObey]

I think I'll start a thread in D&D about Galatians 3 instead of going into an in-depth study here.

I'd still really like to do the Hebrews study though!

I really wanted to get into some studies this summer while I was out of school, but I start back to school on the 25th and it's going to be very difficult for me to follow a study now. :(

I will be available as a teacher again in Sept.
