“How can you know better than scholars and theologians?”
It is the hubris of the world to seek understanding without God.
It is the hubris of Christianity to think they can understand the
Bible without right division.
I would rather have one iota of God’s understanding than
1000 years worth of the world’s research without God.
And without the Bible rightly divided understanding God and
his purpose is stymied. Just look at the confusion that has
been created!
This is hard for the natural man to accept as we are told to
worship scholarship more than the word of God.
Yet, if the Bible is indeed the words of God, then the words
contained in it are more valuable than anything written by
any other wise man in history. Better for us to learn the Bible
than the vain words of any man.
It is not degrees and lifetimes of seeking that is required to discover
spiritual truth, it is faith in God and his word rightly divided.
There are simple truths that God has revealed in the Bible that
the wise of the world are still trying to discover in their natural
faithless mind.
Let God be true and every man a liar and you will grow in
knowledge and understanding.
For His glory,
Justin “God be true” Johnson
