Keep in mind that the people I am talking to have known me for a long time and know that if I say God told me something, they know I'm not just blowing smoke AND they know that they can verify for themselves: if they do? They always find that God verifies what I said HE said. I know He will. Everyone must ask HIM though. He isn't going to tell me one thing and them the opposite. That's why I am confident that if they ask Him they can verify.
This was not a general sort of admonition that everyone believe this (even though I am reposting this to a broader audience that does NOT know me). Everyone is still free to ask God to verify. I would advise it, because again: you don't know me.
As for the claim that we don't need a teacher, that wasn't me. Jesus said that. Matthew 23.
"But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. 1And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ."
