KJV nice scripture, but after watching people here read something and come to several conclusions, I am not sure it's applicable to who gets to decide. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the Scripture itself... John 12:47-48 47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world. 48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.

Jesus told parables to: reveal the truth to those who wanted to know it and to conceal the truth for those who were indifferent. Most are explained. There is also some challenging scripture in the book of Revelation. A person can always go to a trusted Bible scholar who has studied the book of Revelation and get the answers. Why not go to the Lord and ask Him for wisdom and understanding instead of relying on the arm of flesh and trusting in man? It's HIS word, He is the best one to reveal it.

It both has been in the past and is going on in the present. I think the first time we see it in the bible is when Pharaoh's priests imitated the miracles that Moses did. (Egypt is not just a metaphor of the world and the need to come out of it, it's also a metaphor for needing to come out of apostate Judaism and apostate churches.) In studying prophecy it's worth keeping in mind that false prophets and false messiahs were not unheard of as concerns Israel/Jerusalem, though we may be unaware of a lot of that history.

However, how do you explain the untold number of interpretations of Scripture, as each person claims to have personally obtained their wisdom and understanding from the Lord?

Hebrews 4:12 However there is also this Scripture: 11And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the [e]edifying of the body of Christ, 13till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; 14that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, 15but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— 16from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.

However, how do you explain the untold number of interpretations of Scripture, as each person claims to have personally obtained their wisdom and understanding from the Lord? Well, there are a lot of different factors involved. This is not cut and dried and Jesus never promised it would be. As any parent knows having a houseful of children can be quite a messy business. For one thing there is the matter of growth and experience....we obtain more or deeper understanding as we grow in the Lord, and also we learn to distinguish between our own mind and an unction or revelation of the Spirit by experience. Also keeping in mind we only know in part. And as always we need to test the spirits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people don't seem to grow very much.....they never get weaned off 'mother church' and relying on being taught by others instead of the Lord. Learning to hear from Him and trust in Him is a matter of growing. Is 28:9 To whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts.
