Subject: Individualistic Bible reading unbiblical |
Bible Note: Amen the word of God is our final authority, and the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of truth. And the scriptural promise for those who have faith is: John 16:13 Howbeit when he, THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, is come, HE WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL TRUTH: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, [that] shall he speak: AND HE WILL SHOW YOU THINGS TO COME. (concerning "show us things to come," I think we are able and will be able to discern the times, not any new revelation) The hidden things are sealed until the time of the end, and will become clearer as that day approaches to those who are wise with spiritual discernment. (Dan. 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.)
