Some very few may but probably most don't. I think
you know that
from experience. I believe you see the connection.
The Bible is always
read, even by yourself, through
"glasses".
jt: Not always, God looks at our
heart attitude when we come to His Word
because we are dealing with spiritual realities rather than mental
gymnastics
and only He can give understanding or withold it. I had no
spiritual glasses
when I came to Jesus because I had been taught nothing in my
particular
denomination and I had not learned
Greek mythology or critical thinking.
Something that even the Spirit of God appears not
to do is to override the
influence of those "glasses" (our particular way of
seeing & interpreting).
Just look at the emails from all of the TTers. Many
undoubtedly are
possessed of the Spirit yet, some appear not to
understand as do you.
jt: The Holy Spirit can not lead
someone who will not be led and it is
impossible to teach someone who knows it all. Neither does he
possess
anyone. God is pleased with those who
have a contrite heart who
tremble at His Word. We must be doers
of the Word and not hearers
only which means we believe and do
before we see.
How do you account for that. This is not a silly
but, an important
consideration. Thanks, Lance
jt: Satan has been very effective
with his divide and conquer technique;
he has sown a lot of confusion in the professing Church and
there is
still little or no spiritual
discernment. We have people trying
to teach
who don't know how to walk themselves
so it is the blind leading the
blind and the very young believer can
be swayed, they think the man
on the platform with the robe and big
books knows what he is talking
about because this is what the world
teaches. Also the man with the
money too often gets the
chair.

to make his people study
