Wouldn't that depend on the subject or issue at hand. For example, when I was in school learning math, I had to listen to someone who knew how to add and subtract. In the end, I found the truth I didn't have before.
If I didn't allow my teachers to expand on the real truth, I would have failed my class and lived in ignorance, regardless if I thought I was right or not.
I don't think your teacher stood there and told you what you did or didn't know. They probably just taught math....and you caught on.

4 Nor to give importance to or occupy themselves with legends (fables, myths) and endless genealogies, which foster and promote useless speculations and questionings rather than acceptance in faith of Gods administration and the divine training that is in faith ([a]in that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence)
5 Whereas the object and purpose of our instruction and charge is love, which springs from a pure heart and a good (clear) conscience and sincere (unfeigned) faith.
6 But certain individuals have missed the mark on this very matter [and] have wandered away into vain arguments and discussions and purposeless talk.

4 Answer not a [self-confident] fool according to his folly, lest you also be like him.
5 Answer a [self-confident] fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own eyes and conceit.
I am done. I will never get this five minutes of my life back.
This is the typical response from people in Religion. Notice the rebuke, condemnation, and ridicule of those who don't agree with D4L. D4L, what makes you better than everyone else?
You should have just pulled out the Scriptures on Eternal Torture, and then you would be "done" with us and everyone else who doesn't agree with you.
Are you really going to say that's not a religion?
There are hundreds of religions in the world, present and past. My point was that it's more than just a religion telling you when Jesus says it. IMO, religion is something man created. I presented a quote from Jesus, whom most spirit-filled christians base their faith on.

Well, I haven't died and been resurrected.
We walk by faith and not by sight. I believe in the resurrection and judgement because that's what Jesus, and the Bible, taught.
