No, they are extra biblical commentary. They are 99% in accurate with scripture.

Glad you give them a 99%-much more than me, percentage wise and most of us are using commentaries-selectively, of course.

Not at all.
But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. John 16:13
The holy spirit can guide you to some highly educated scholars. That's how we learn. Then there's people that don't need to learn anything because they think they already know everything. They usually have a spirit of pride and arrogance.
Boast no more so very proudly,
Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth;
For the Lord is a God

Sorry, but in that verse, Jesus says that spirits do not have flesh and bone, not that they cannot be seen. I have given you many examples from Scripture where spirits have been seen.
Letgodbetrue.com is a very good site, friends that I have known for almost years~We live within thirty to forty five minutes from each others. The only thing we disagree with that truly matters is ecasthology. We had to separate over doctrine. They teach 70 A.D. theory which I must stand against, other than that, they love and fear God, without question, sincere, godly folks. We separated from each other about 12 years ago over this~more me leaving them, since they would not even consider anything else other than 70 A. D.

I mean, we have to comment on some things. But the Bible really needs no explanation for people that understand what it’s basically all about. When I teach a Bible study, I have them read the scripture, this way I can’t redefine it for them. I want people to become sola scriptura.

No, the Holy Ghost will guide you directly to the Bible. Not to some man that has a PhD concerning a first century document.

Even that is not scriptural. Jesus gave the body of Christ pastors and teachers, so we need to glean truth from their teaching, if indeed they are truly gifted by God to teach. A true teacher will present not only his opinion, but will present other opinions as well, and then explain and show why the other positions are not Biblical. If a "teacher" is not willing to do that, then he's not really called by God to teach. He just wants to present his own opinion, as if that is the true gospel, without mentioning other opinions, much less showing how the other opinions are not scriptural.
Just yesterday, I heard Jack Hibbs say more than once that Ezekiel prophesies that the Jewish people would return to their land IN UNBELIEF. So he says that is what happened in 1948. But HE GAVE NO SPECIFIC VERSE TO PROVE HIS POINT. That's not a true teacher. He couldn't even back up what he said. He had two other men with him, and the three of them were denouncing anti-dispensationalists, i.e. amillennalists, saying they were heretics and blasphemers. Then later one of the men said that those who disagree with them are really nice people and good Christians.
So which is it? Are we nice people and good Christians or are we heretics and blasphemers? Another example of someone who should not be teaching at all.

God uses men to teach His word all the time. Jesus set the example with his 12 apostles.
Little children…you have an anointing from the Holy One, and…the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you – 1 John 2:18-27
Spirit-filled teachers of god's word are necessary to keep people from falling into false doctrine.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 5:14-16
Jesus taught (Matthew 4:23; 9:35), and he called his apostles to teach (Matthew 28:19–20). The apostles taught (Acts 5:28; 28:31), and they equipped local pastors to teach (1 Timothy 3:2; 4:13). Now, pastors teach (2 Timothy 4:2), and they raise up faithful men (2 Timothy 2:2), as well as all the saints (Colossians 3:16), to continue the teaching task. Through teaching, God lights up the darkness and lifts up his Christ, he frees Satan’s captives and makes them his sons.
Today's modern teachers go to biblical colleges and seminaries and become Masters of Divinity. They hold the title of doctor.
