Have you ever had a teacher tell you something wrong?

Something you maybe didn’t realize or speak up about at the time?

Mine was my Sunday school teacher when I was in 6th or 7th grade. We were supposed to describe what we thought God looked like. I described the picture of Jesus that was at the head of my bed when I was very young. I didn’t specify it was a picture of Jesus in my description, though.

She kind of scolded me and said that was Jesus, not God. Everyone else said clouds or stuff like that and got praised. But, if He made us in his image then I think they are idiots – including the teacher – and I think she was wrong to reject my idea and scoff at me. If any human was made in God’s image, it only makes sense that His son would resemble him most?

I was so shy, but even at age 12 it seemed so logical to me.
It irritates me to this day that I never said anything.
