The Difference between Teaching (which #BibleHub @theBibleHub shows us Christ REALLY Commissioned us to Do) & 'Preaching' (a Word that False Pastors Shove into His Mouth) | @BeliefNet @ProbeMinistries @DOAJplus

'That word' (below-hyperlinked to some Bible-study involving The Great Commission) is built on an even-deeper source ... something crucial that firms the foundation upon which our lexicon stands ...

Teachers & Preachers both tell you 'about' The Great Commission, but ... 

The Hebrew word is "διδάσκω (didaskó)," which-can also mean "to Direct, Admonish" and -is rooted in Hebrew that means "to Learn."

My brain always 'simplified' The Great Commission (i.e. if someone asked me, "What did Jesus tell us to do in The Great Commission?" I'd say) to 'Go, making disciples of all the nations; preaching, teaching & baptizing in The Name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.'

But I look at the 5 versions of The Great Commission (one in each of the four Gospels & one in Acts), and–sorta like 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and 1 Corinthians 15:50-44 don't literally say "end-times Rapture"–Jesus didn't actually say "preach"—He implied it when He told the disciples that they were Witnesses to Him and were to Proclaim the Good News.

He did specifically say they were to 'teach,' though. The difference? As you can see above, 'teaching' is usually more "training students to find the answers" while 'preaching' is more "announcing the answers plain-&-simple."

For example: 'Preaching' always told me the main verb of The Great Commission was "Go"; but 'Teaching' (from an Evangelical Covenant Church pastor, believe-it-or-not) showed me that the main verb was "Disciple" ... not even "Make Disciples!"

'Teaching' also taught me that The Trinity wasn't part of the original Commission; the original Commission just said 'in My Name,' but Church-Father Tertullian introduced "of The Father & The Son & The Holy Spirit" in The Council of Nicaea. (Making The Godhead more 'a unified team' and less 'an all-powerful tyrant')
