You should come listen to me preach before you judge my preaching,
Jae some of what your saying here is judging you -----I am simply saying Preach Truth --Not what you think is truth -----Peoples eternal lives are at stake and your the preacher in charge of preparing your Flock hopefully to an Eternal Life not Eternal death
God gives a warning to Preachers --teachers of His word -----so take heed to it as you will be judge more harshly by God in your end for not preaching truth -----I am trying to warn you of this
James 3:1
Amplified Bible
Not many [of you] should become teachers [serving in an official teaching capacity], my brothers and sisters, for you know that we [who are teachers]
will be judged by a higher standard [because we have assumed greater accountability and more condemnation if we teach incorrectly
this is commentary on this Scripture Jae ----
Do not become teachers in large numbers, my brothers, since you know that we who are teachers will incur a stricter judgment. - What is the meaning of James 3:1?

What does James 3:1 mean?
Here, James launches into a new passage about controlling our words. He will connect this to the main idea of the chapter 2. This theme was that saving faith in God always leads to a believer participating in good works.
As James notes in this very chapter, this does not mean perfection (James 3:2), but it does mean our deeds and words should reflect our faith in God.
James starts, however, with a warning about taking on the title of "teacher." Not many Christians should aspire to be labelled as teachers,
James writes. Those who claim the mantle of a teacher will face stricter judgment or "will be judged with greater strictness." The more one claims to know, the more accountable they are held for what they do with that knowledge (John 9:41).
Bible scholars speculate that James's warning was in response to a problem with too many self-titled teachers in the early Christian church.
It could be that some truly thought they were wise, when they were still immature in their faith. It's also possible some desired the respect given to teachers, but didn't have either the spiritual gift of teaching or a lifestyle that reflected the truths of Christianity.
James is not suggesting that nobody should become a teacher. It is a much needed role in the church, and
God empowers specific individuals to fill it (1 Corinthians 12:28; Romans 12:7; Ephesians 4:11). In the church, teachers are meant to help make the Word of God clear to other Christians.
A teacher's job, specifically, is not to prophesy or reveal new truths from God.
Instead, they do the work of taking what has been revealed and making it easier to understand and follow.
As James makes clear, "teacher" is not a role which should be taken lightly. Teachers will face a stricter judgment.
They will be held accountable to live by the truth they teach, as well as being responsible not to lead people away from God's Word with their own words.
The more a person claims to know, the more they are held accountable for acting according to that knowledge. And, the more a person claims the authority to teach, the more accountable they will be for how they lead—or mislead—other people.
As the next verses will reveal, this is a heady responsibility. Our words can be alarmingly dangerous.
so the Bible tells us in Genesis 6:11-13, "God saw that everything on the earth had become spoiled. Everywhere, people were attacking each other. God saw how much the earth had become spoiled. Everyone was doing bad things. God said to Noah, 'I will destroy everyone. That is what I have decided to do. Everywhere on the earth, people are attacking each other. Now I will destroy the people and also the earth." So according to this, unsafe, everyone on the whole planet save for Noah was doing bad things including attacking each other.
here is your quote ===
Everywhere on the earth, people are attacking each other. Now I will destroy the people and also the earth." So according to this, unsafe, everyone on the whole planet save for Noah was doing bad things including attacking each other.
This is the Amp Bible of your text Genesis 6:3 and
me commenting underneath
11
The [population of the] earth was corrupt [absolutely depraved—
spiritually and morally putrid] in God’s sight,
and the land was filled with violence [desecration, infringement, outrage, assault, and lust for power].
I say ------Jae all of us are born Corrupt ----we are Born SINNERS ----so the whole planet was filled with Corrupt Sinful people -----Jesus didn't come till the New Testament ---so when Salvation come to be People had a choice to be saved or not to be saved -----the unsaved People TODAY are still Corrupt Sinful people all over this earth ----destruction ---wars ---violence and many lusting for power----Corruption in Governments and --and it is getting worse Jae ----cloning animals --AI ---robots being built ---drones spying on countries ---it goes on and on ---
You say that unsaved people are living rightly in God's eyes today --No Jae ---this whole world is Corrupt and need to be brought to its knees and that is what God is doing bit by bit --destroying wickness on His Earth ---hoping that people come to their senses and Repent and receive His Son who paid their penalty of Death and destruction -------
so the sentence here ---
The [population of the] earth was corrupt [absolutely depraved—
spiritually and morally putrid] in God’s sight,
Jae ---this earth and its population is still Corrupt today in God's sight ---the Earth is Cursed and so are unbelievers ---so there is no difference today as to what is being said in this text
lets look at this---which stands today ---
and the land was filled with violence [desecration, infringement, outrage, assault, and lust for power].
I say ---Jae Do you think that people today are not showing ---violence [desecration, infringement, outrage, assault, and lust for power].
I say ----------So Jae right here you said
So according to this, unsafe, everyone on the whole planet save for Noah was doing bad things including attacking each other.
I say --------And Jae that is Still the way it is -------the only way to get out from being Corrupt and Sinful ---is by Accepting Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour ------
So what your doing here Jae is saying back then all were bad -----so God killed everybody and that is OK ----but now that doesn't apply ----unbeliever are not sinful and corrupt and so God would not send Floods today to show his wrath on this wicked earth and rebellion people ----but this happens to bring people together and make it a nice and fluffy doctrine of neighbour helping neighbour --this is Sugar Coating to soften what is really happening ----your trying not to offend people ===and as Paul says ---who am I preaching for ---the people or God===
Galatians 1:10 ASV
For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.
https://www.biblegateway.com/verse/en/Galatians 1:10
I say ------No need to say anything here for verse 12 ---it defines it very well all on it's own ---this is still the way it is today Jae ------
12 God looked on the earth and saw how debased and degenerate it was, for all humanity had corrupted their way on the earth and lost their true direction.
And then vers 13 Jae -----a prelude as to what is going to happen in the future here and now -as through men the land is still filled with violence --and corruption Jae and all will be again destroyed ----
13 God said to Noah,
I intend to make an end of all that lives, for through men the land is filled with violence; and behold, I am about to destroy them together with the land.[
