If one does not need a "LIVE" teacher, then I think it should be OK for middle school and high school children read books, study langauges on line and other disciplines--since they know how to research and read for themselves. But it is NOT ok--EVERY one needs a teacher, and a systemmatic way in which to be taught and trained. One can never learn as much alone as he or she can from experienced others. If we did not need to sit under master-teachers, then the Lord would would have negated His own wisdom in sending us teachers, prophets, apostles, etc. Such a concept of teaching oneself violates biblical protocol for learning.
One IS, however, responsible for his or her own study time, and own self-development....he or she is responsible for making her or himself coachable, teachable, and trainable through submission to authority, self-discipline, and self-study. Most of us FLUNK royally in this regard....even many who were formally trained lack the discipline of continuing study and life-long learning.
Finally, Greek is hard WITH a teacher--fleuncy in it is difficult without one. Also, I'd like to know why is Greek preferable to Hebrew, since "Christianity" is an outgrowth of Yahudaism (Judaism)????
