1John 2:27 As for you, the anointing which you received from him remains in you, and you don't need for anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is no lie, and even as it taught you, you will remain in him.

The apostle John's words here stumble those taught by laws of the flesh, through their religious group, they cannot understand what John is saying when Paul spoke of teachers in the body of Christ Jesus as elders, they simply swing wide putting all faith in their organized group, will mocking John's words as apostasy, but what is the truth.

The truth is each anointed child of God as a son of God; God gave each of His children a personal birth, He never leaves them, He personally teaches them throughout their earthly journey, just as all good father do their own children.

Some of these children are more mature than others, and can help those that aren't as older brothers and sisters, in over coming problems in their flesh, and also help them understand their position as son's of God, these are teachers, not master over the body of Christ Jesus. Moreover, they are not elevated by being elected, or because of head knowledge of the bible, nor by meeting corporate bylaws of a religion. Rather, they were qualified by the Holy Spirit of God, but John is not speaking to that here, what he is speaking too is this.

He was speaking too the great apostasy that was setting in at his time, he was writing about this in his letter, where there were so many false teachers one could not spend all their time testing each one by legal debate, which ends no where at all, but in more debates, which cannot produce one shred of truth, why? Simply put, it was the life of Christ Jesus in them that is the truth, the faithful witness, not some doctrine right or wrong, but is not the eternal life of Christ Jesus they had already received. Their debating doctrine would do nothing for them, it could not prove they had God's Spirit in uphold the truth, the eternal life in them. So what witness were they going to listen too, was the real question, men witnessing about the bible, or God's Holy Spirit witnessing in them from the start of their new birth?

All of God's children had this truth from the start of their new birth, God was not against teachers, but they were not the truth, they could share in the truth, or Christ Jesus, wherein two or more were gather together in his name, hence, giving Spirit led insight by the wisdom of God, who is Jesus Christ, the head of their body.

John did not encourage them to submit to false religion and fleshly elders teaching by laws and rules of their group, he did not encourage them to do this at all, but he did states the truth, which is, Jesus Christ, thus, those anointed by God needed no such teaching from false teachers. They were not to become dumb beast in not knowing that a fleshly person can repeat word from the bible like a parrot, but it does not make the words the truth, why?

Not forgetting, they where a part of the truth, the life of Christ Jesus, as his body members, this was the only place of truth, and he was not going to deny himself, in teaching untruth to his own body by some bible verse. But men would, time, and time of again, for pride of being right over truth because they did not have the truth in them, nor were they in the truth of Christ Jesus life.

The bottom line was, for them not to return evil for evil, trying to win a debate over doctrine, but to rest in faith in Jesus Christ, trusting in God's love, knowing that not one single person loving God would not come to know Christ at God's time and will. They were messengers or vessels of the life of Christ Jesus, not legal books debating some doctrine, they were living examples of the Christ Jesus own life working through them, this is the witnesses in them they must believe even if rejected by every teacher on earth.
