I find this more than a little concerning. I've been (or called myself) a Christian going on 6 years, and I have a hard time with the Bible...or at least I have a hard time trying to make sure every verse aligns with other verses as well as what I see going on in the world. Also the more poetic and symbolic parts are hard to see without it being shown to me. Or maybe I'm just being resistant. I keep running across different heretical people online that make good arguments, and they almost trick me with their arguments from scripture. Though many of these people contradict each other so I know, at most, only one can be right.
@@JoshuaMSOG7 Sorry, an example of what? The parts I find concerning in the video? The passages that confound me? Or the beliefs of the people who make (seemingly) biblical arguments about my theology, practices and/or church being wrong?
What about the Holy Spirit? Have you ever asked Him to guide you and help you understand? Also we have to meditate on the word. It doesn’t always come in an instant... sometimes I understand something more deeply when I read the Bible after praying or after reading it over and over. The spirit is required for understanding. You can have a lot of biblical knowledge but no spirit. It has to be both to really make the difference. Hope this helps in some way. But I have seen people who are too spiritual and don’t accomplish a thing and then very smart people who can quote any scripture but don’t move in the Holy Spirit. We need both.
@@way2girly yea, that's my concern, that I dont have the spirit to begin with. I pray before reading and pray in general about discernment. But I spent a lot of time being a stuffy reformed intellectual about things.
@@--i-am-root When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior you have the Holy Spirit inside of you.The proof is that the internal change happening, your conviction grow strong and you want to know about God. If your unsaved this change wouldn't happen at all.
If Bible is that clear, why are there thousands of churches and cults based on the Bible, but every one has their own interpretation of what the bible says and don`t agree even on the more fundamental issues about Christianity?
