Aren't you now being disingenuous? You say the Holy spirit could cause division so that the people may grow, but now argue that it's not "correct" to interpret the Bible as being misogynistic? Deliberately ignoring numerous instances where women, from the laws of Deuteronomy, are deemed "property."

On what grounds would the Holy Spirit teach apostle A that X is good, but teach apostle B, that same X is bad?

I'm not trying to be disingenuous, but I think you're confusing two different ideas. The first is that the Holy Spirit can use disagreements to challenge and grow our understanding.

The second is that some interpretations of Scripture are simply more consistent with the overall message of the Bible than others. These are two different concepts, and I don't think they contradict each other. In fact, they work together to help us grow in our understanding of the Bible. It's true that there are difficult and challenging parts of Scripture, but that doesn't mean we should abandon our search for truth or throw up our hands in confusion.

The Holy Spirit teaches us through a variety of means, including scripture, prayer, and the community of believers. The Bible is a complex and multi-layered book, and different people can have different interpretations of its meaning.

So it's not surprising that two people could have different understandings of the same passage. However, I believe that the Holy Spirit guides us towards truth, and that the more we study and pray, the more our understanding will grow and align with God's will. So I don't think the Holy Spirit would deliberately teach one person something that is in conflict with what another person has been taught.

Rather, I think the Holy Spirit works to bring about a deeper understanding of the Bible and God's will over time. The process of studying and understanding the Bible is like a journey, and we can all be at different stages on that journey. So even though two people may have different understandings of a passage, I don't think that necessarily means that one of them is wrong. They may simply be at different stages in their journey of understanding.

Some could interpret that women are lesser beings than men, would you agree?

No, I would not agree with that interpretation. While it's true that there are some verses in the Bible that could be interpreted in that way, I don't think that's a fair or accurate understanding of Scripture.

The Bible teaches that all people, regardless of gender, are created in the image of God and have equal worth in His eyes. Furthermore, there are many examples of women in the Bible who were leaders, teachers, and heroes of faith.

So, while some have tried to interpret the Bible in a way that supports inequality between men and women, I think a more careful reading of Scripture shows that this is not the case

Kobojunkie:
1. So do you then agree that your initial claim which is that Scripture is somehow meant to be "interpreted" through what you claim is the lens of faith and is not always logical is not based on Scripture but an idea foreign to Scripture? undecided

2. Can you please provide Scriptural evidence for where the God of Israel or His Son, Jesus Christ, stated that the Holy Spirit would help us to interpret Scripture? (Scripture is already presented to us in human language and ready to be understood as is written, so I am lost as to why further interpretation is necessary.) I ask because that is another claim I have yet to come upon in Scripture, and I have searched. Jesus Christ instead said that the Holy Spirit — the Spirit of Truth— would reveal that which is hidden, but Jesus Christ never said that the Holy Spirit would help us interpret Scripture. So, please help me out with Scriptural backing for this other Christian ritual you hold to. undecided

3. I wholly agree that all should be judged by the standard that is the Word of God. But I fail to understand why you repeatedly quote from the letter to the Hebrews, an opinion piece — the writer did not in any way assert that this opinion of his comes from the mouth of God so why insist that we accept it as though it is of God. undecided


To understand faith, hope, mystery, and trust it is vital, as you said, to go back to God, who again, is the author and finisher of our faith. I like God's explanation of faith which He gave to Isaac while explaining how He justified Abraham. As we all know, Abraham was justified by faith, and the components of Abraham's faith are made bare in Genesis 26 by God Himself. undecided
Right there we see what Abraham's faith was all about— made up of. Abraham not only trusted God — He abandoned the idols of His fathers for a God He did not know— but He also obeyed God's every teaching and commandment given Him by this God— Abraham's faith — and for this he, Abraham, was justified. (God didn't suggest that Abraham obeyed Him one time; no, Abraham lived his life in continuous obedience to Gods commandments and statutes and it was for this that he, Abraham, was then justified by God.) If you ask me, this is the best explanation in all of that book of what faith is about. It sheds a whole different light on the opinion expressed in Hebrews 11 vs 1 - 2 by the writer of the letter to the Hebrews. God's very own explanation beats, hands down, all the numerous interpretations that flow regularly from churchian pulpits every week, including the mouths of those from other religions. Why? Because God's explanation makes absolute Scriptural sense. It explains why God's mandate of obedience to His teachings and commandments. undecided


Can you see how very different what God says is from what men and their many interpretations assert? undecided
while I agree that God's Word is the ultimate authority, I also think it's important to recognize that there are different ways of understanding and applying that Word.

In the end, I think we should strive for a balance between honoring Scripture as our ultimate authority and remaining open to new insights and interpretations.

Michael547:

Does this your idea agree with the bible verse below?
Are Christians suppose to speak in disagreements? Can't we be united in purpose and conviction by the holy spirit?
Let's stop giving rooms to false teachers na.

From your bible quote, it's clear that God wants believers to be united in their understanding of Scripture and their purpose as the church.

However, I think it's important to remember that 1 Corinthians 1:10 is talking about a specific church in Corinth, and it's not necessarily a blanket statement for all believers in all circumstances.

In addition, the Bible doesn't say that disagreement and division are always bad things. For example, there were some disagreements and divisions within the early church, but they ultimately led to a stronger and more resilient church.

So while we should strive for unity, we should also be open to the possibility that some disagreements and divisions can be beneficial.

In fact, it's possible that the Holy Spirit can use these disagreements to help us grow in our understanding of Scripture and our faith.

Kobojunkie:
1. The statement that God's way is not our way and God's thoughts are not our thoughts could simply mean we, as humans are to submit to His Will in all-wise much like Jesus Christ is written to have done --- Obey God's teaching and commandments as opposed to our own ideas. It in no way implies that we are to abandon our ability to logicaly process or reason all that is around them, including God's Law. Sure, you can't always grasp it at first try, or several, --- after all understanding comes from the Father in His time to those who seek it. So where exactly is it stated that you throw out/abandon your ability to reason or logically process God's Law? undecided

2. I am particularly interested in learning where you derived this idea that humans are to abandon their ability to reason and judge logically that which is stated in Scripture, an idea you not only seem to hold but approve as right approach as well. undecided

3. I am more interested in that stated by the God of Israel, and His Son, Jesus Christ, the very ones proclaimed authors of the faiths of those who follow them. The opinions of men are meant to be validated against that spoken directly by God. So please, tell us where exactly God Himself revealed to you these ideas you have of faith, trust, hope and mystery. undecided

1. There's definitely a difference between submitting to God's will and abandoning the ability to reason or think critically.
The Bible encourages us to use our minds to understand God's Word (2 Timothy 2:7) and to test all things (1 Thessalonians 5:21). So while we should submit to God's authority, we should also use our minds to understand and apply His Word.

2. I believe that the Holy Spirit helps us to interpret and understand Scripture, but He doesn't do this in a way that bypasses our ability to think critically. The Holy Spirit works with our minds to help us understand God's Word.
So I'm not suggesting that we should abandon our reasoning or our ability to use logic. Rather, I'm suggesting that the Holy Spirit works with our reasoning and logic to help us understand

3. I think it's important to distinguish between what God has directly revealed in Scripture, and what people have interpreted from Scripture over the years.

As you mentioned, God is the ultimate authority, and His Word is what we should base our beliefs on. So let's look at what Scripture actually says about faith, trust, hope, and mystery.

I’ll recap my previous quote, in Hebrews 11:1, we're told that "faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." So faith is about trusting in things we can't see or know for certain.

1. Interesting claim! Mind showing us exactly were in Scripture the God of Israel, or even Jesus Christ His Son, told you you are not to apply basic human language understanding as far as Scripture is concerned? undecided

2. Where abouts in Scripture did the God of Israel or even His Son, Jesus Christ, give you these regarding faith, trust, hope and mystery which you hold to? undecided

smiley

1. I don't think there's a specific verse that explicitly says not to apply human language understanding to Scripture. However, there are verses that indicate that God's ways are not our ways, and His thoughts are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8-9).

This implies that we can't always understand God's ways or interpret Scripture using only human reasoning.

2. There are many verses that talk about faith, trust, hope, and mystery. For example, Hebrews 11:1 says that faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not

Michael547:

So don't you think that the deeper life church teaching on the prohibition of wearing jewelries and calling it a sin is in contradiction to other churches that don't see it that way? How can the holy spirit be giving interpretations that end up dividing people in the same faith instead of uniting them? Or are they not interpreting the bible with the help of the Holy spirit again?
The Deeper Life Church's teaching on jewelry is definitely different from the teachings of other churches, and that can create division among believers.

However, I don't think this necessarily means that the Holy Spirit isn't involved in their interpretation. Instead, I think it's possible that the Holy Spirit could be leading different groups of people to different interpretations of scripture.

After all, the Bible is complex and multi-faceted, and there are bound to be different understandings of it. So while division can be painful, it doesn't necessarily mean that the Holy Spirit is absent.

In fact, some theologians believe that the Holy Spirit can use division to help the church grow and evolve. For example, the Protestant Reformation started with division within the Catholic Church, but it ultimately led to the birth of new denominations and a richer understanding of scripture.

So while it's difficult to see people disagreeing about the meaning of scripture, it's possible that the Holy Spirit is using these disagreements to further the work of the church.
