" All scripture is inspired by God and is good for reproof,correction and instruction in righteousness .."
People can get it wrong but always we must go back to the scriptures ,but the scriptures alone are not enough .
For " the letter Killeth but the Spirit giveth life"
It is clear then that as the Holy Spirit was needed to inspire men so to write " ALL scripture" so likewise the same Holy Spirit is needed in the same measure to understand what is written.
" For what knoweth the things of man save the spirit that is in man? Likewise then what knoweth the things of God save the Spirit of God" who when He comes will lead us into all truth ".
How is it then there is so much confusion and great lack of understanding of the scriptures?
Mainly because men have and still do subject the scriptures to their own reasoning rather than follow the reasoning of scripture.
For " My ways are not your ways ,says the Lord and as high as the heavens are above the earth so are my thoughts higher than man's thoughts "
Nevertheless that Gods thoughts and thus reasoning ,is not unreasonable nor then his logic is not that it cannot be followed ,IF we are willing to be led by the Holy Spirit .
For we have the body of truth ,the scriptures and we have the Spirit of truth and both are needed and vital to thectrue and right understanding of the scriptures . For the Holy Spirit will not contradict the scriptures nor the scriptures contradict the Holy Spirit.
But carnal minded men will contradict both for a carnal mind "cannot receive the things of God for they are spiritually discerned "
The Holy Bible has its own internal logic it is not man's logic nor by man's reasoning "for man by wisdom knew not God"Why then is it thought he can now do so?
But a man's mind has to be renewed by the Spirit of God through the scriptures and is by so submitting transformed .
