Fenrir Greycloth Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Ok guys, I need help. I am looking for a word that is similiar to Teacher in that you teach others, but of semi religious connotation. I have already searched through a thesaurus and online. Can someone else help by giving suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fenrir Greycloth Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Yes, but nothing that is related to a certain religion either. I think Zealot may work. Edit: No... I don't want people to think of it as a fanatic... Something toned down a bit... Edited June 28, 2009 by Fenrir Greycloth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grido Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 [quote]zeal⋅ot a member of a radical, warlike, ardently patriotic group of Jews in Judea, particularly prominent from a.d. 69 to 81, advocating the violent overthrow of Roman rule and vigorously resisting the efforts of the Romans and their supporters to heathenize the Jews.[/quote] also connected to a particular religion, also if you want religious connotation but not of a particular one, you'd be hard pressedto find a word Grido 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawe Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 I say this is a weird topic. But, if it keeps us from being too bored, then I guess it's fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawe Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Disciples are followers, or students. Not teachers. You had us look for something in the wrong place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Disciple is not a teacher! Au contraire! It's just the opposite. It's the follower...O_O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenrir Greycloth Posted June 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Yes, but a disciple learns from the Master, and then will become the master in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 Don't try to twist things. A disciple is a disciple and a master is a master. May I close the topic since you found your answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grido Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 when a disciple starts teaching they're no longer a disciple.... Grido 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fawe Posted June 28, 2009 Report Share Posted June 28, 2009 A disciple is a follower, and if he learns from his master and ends up teaching, then he is now a master to his disciples and a disciple to his master. o.O Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
