How to learn the Bible

Isaiah 28:9-11 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. For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little: For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people.

If you want God to teach you the Bible, you have to get off the milk. You should be willing to grow. The Lord does not care about how intelligent or smart you are. He deals with your heart. Don’t take counsel from your experience, go to the Bible. A seducing spirit cannot seduce you with something you are not interested in.

The key to understanding that which is written in the bible is paying attention to context. undecided

If you would go back to Isaiah 28, and read it in full, you would realize that your assessment of the message contained in the verses you plucked out the is in error..

Isaiah 28 vs 9 - 13

5 At that time the Lord All-Powerful will become the “Beautiful Crown.” He will be the “Wonderful Crown of Flowers” for his people who are left.
6 Then he will give wisdom to the judges who rule his people. He will give strength to the people who are in battles at the city gates.
7 But now those leaders are drunk. The priests and prophets are all drunk with wine and beer. They stumble and fall down. The prophets are drunk when they see their dreams. The judges are drunk when they make their decisions.
8 Every table is covered with vomit. There is not a clean place anywhere.
9 The people say, “Who does he think he is trying to teach and explain his message to? Does he think we are babies who were at their mother’s breast only a very short time ago?
10 He speaks to us as though we were babies:

“Saw lasaw saw lasaw
Qaw laqaw qaw laqaw
Ze’er sham ze’er sham.”

[b]11
So God will use this strange way of talking, and he will use other languages to speak to these people.

12 In the past he spoke to them and said, “Here is a resting place. Let those who are tired come and rest. This is the place of peace.”

But they would not listen to him.
13 So the Lord’s words will be senseless sounds[c] to them:

“Saw lasaw saw lasaw.
Qaw laqaw qaw laqaw.
Ze’er sham ze’er sham.”

When the people try to walk, they will fall backwards. They will be defeated, trapped, and captured.
The prophet was obviously not referring to the understanding of scripture, and what is written, but instead of the people's inability to comprehend the message of the He referred to in the chapter. undecided
