The longer we walk with God, the better we are able to discern His voice. Hebrews 5:14 indicates discernment comes by EXPERIENCE. John 17:7 shows that if we DESIRE to know, we will. Our familiarity with the WORD OF GOD has a lot to do with our level of discernment, too (Hebrews 4:12). There are many more such verses on Discernment. Go to http://dianedew.com/discern.htm |

Thank you for your wonderful post on how TO discern. I do believe I need to clarify my question. Forgive me. When we read Scripture how do we discern what is from God's perspective and what is from man's? Of course I am not asking about the obivious like, "..thou shalt not.." but more in the line of when a point is being made in the Word by a man on any issue whether heavenly or worldly(keeping in mind whose inspiration it all is from). How shall that issue or topic be considered? I ask this because there are various sides of view on so many issues or doctrines in Scripture that people tend to try to take sides. Stating the Word says this emphatically and so we should regard it as the only truth. Yet, when others read and glean they have quite another position to hold on the same verse. When we read Scripture, should we try and look at what points are being made and in who's viewpoint it is being viewed from? I need to site an example for point of reference. One great debate out here is the "limited atonement" bent. Has God's viewpoint been sought as opposed to man's on this topic? I am not using this issue to create another debate I am only using it as reference. There are so many issues at hand in all of our repertiores' that sometimes we may lose sight on whose sight it is from. So, with all that said (LOL), is there a specific way for us to discern the viewpoint from Scriptures ? *shalom* D |
