I can point the way, but the details may be lost.

Given the forum this is in, I'm going to assume you're referring to spiritual teaching.
The Bible says in James 3:1, "My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment."
So yes, you can teach it and not practice it, but when you go through the refining fire it's gonna be a rough ride.

Certainly- I can teach you how to set type or make a broom, though those things specifically are not part of my regular practices.

Of course.
For example, I know far more about the history of Christianity than most Christians do and I don't practice that religion.

If he were still around I would certainly listen to Babe Ruth teach me how to hit a home run.
Who STILL holds the record for most strike-outs????
Babe Ruth.
Just because ya don't do it perfect every time doesn't mean ya don't know right from wrong.

Stupid question.
Of course you can. Just because you dont practice ancient pagan religions, doesnt mean you cant study them objectively and teach from a place of knowledge.

Sure you can. A person can educate others about religions they don't observe themselves. But I would say a person cannot and would not try to convert a person to a religion that he/she him/herself does not practice.

Practice what you preach...or else you're just a hypocrite.

"Do as I say, not as I do" as many parents say...
You may tell your kids too much candy is bad for them...but then you go and eat a bunch of candy...
Same thing, but just with religious beliefs...
