It is prudent to seek expert (informed, responsible, skilled, trained, legitimate) people to provide special and specialized services (including doctors, lawyers, electricians, nutritionist, fitness trainers, mechanics, pilots, HVAC repairmen, computer technicians, sports coaches, music teachers, dietitians, "educators").
It can be detrimental and even dangerous to trust unqualified people with important responsibilities (whether they are licensed or not).
Yet most people neglect prudent care of their souls. They trust Humanistic Bible rejecting scholars, or celebrities from music, theatrics, athletics, politics, and even their own uninformed, confused self, rather than seek help from Bible believing, Christ converted, Spirit led godly people. People readily accept the errors that skeptics, agnostics, atheists and other fools peddle off as godly enlightenment.
If this level of discernment and discretion was prominent in other vital areas of life, there would be no civilization on the face of the planet.
It appears that everyone is an expert concerning Biblical revelation, linguistics, ancient culture, world history, theology. It seems that no one needs instruction from Bible informed, spiritually enlightened, regenerated, Spirit called and anointed and gifted godly followers of Christ.
As a result, society is moving further and faster away from Divine truth. Most people are more interested in having someone prepare their coffee than prepare their soul for eternity. They boast more about their hairdresser or their barber than they do the shepherd of their souls. They spend much more time viewing and studying the latest gossip, events, trends online, than they do seeking spiritual counsel, studying Biblical revelation, following pastoral instruction.
The further society moves from humble submission to Biblical truth, the less desire society has for Divine revelation.
