What do you call a person who asks and argues about the teachings of the bible by his Elders?
What do you call a person who listens and agrees to what the Elders teach?
I have learnt about these names before but cannot recall. Can anyone who has good head knowledge please enlighten me. Many thanks and God Bless.

Many thanks for your prompt replies but these are not the names for the terms used. I cannot recall these terms as I have studied them long ago but cannot remember due to my poor memory. Actually, it's a term used to describe a  person who always queries on bible topics to seek enlightenment, perhaps, looking at the natural rather than the spiritual issues. Hope to get more answers. God Bless.

Are these names derived from scripture or from man? Are you looking for identifiers, descriptions, or titles?

My answers are as close as I can come without leaving the Bible. If that is what you search for. If names that man in and of himself has applied, then I donot have the answer. I donot know them.

Is "elders" an essential component to the definition or is it just anyone?

Again thanks for the replies all you wonderful pals. Bro Ollie got quite near it. I guess it must be an Identifiers or perhaps a Title.  It is definitely not from the Bible as I know my scriptures pretty well. I will try to search my old bible study files in the hope that I could find these Identifiers or Titles. God Bless.

Have checked my old bible notes for these Identifiers - no success. "Agnostic" may be quite near it. However, if my memory permits, I can recall vaguely that these words are not of the English language. Could be in the Greek or Hebrew language...
