I'm amazed by some that say they learn ONLY with the Holy Spirit.I've found bits and pieces of truth in other works, but a little bit of the truth is what makes an effective lie. Scripture says that the gods of the nations are demons. The goal of demonic entities is to deceive people and keep them from believing and receiving Jesus Christ. When someone says that there are other ways to enter the kingdom the same is a thief and a liar. You have to enter the sheepfold by the gate, going over the wall is not an option.
Translations can be problematic as the rendered version will always reflect the philosophy or belief of the translators (a kind of self justification). The New World Translation and JPS Tanaach are 2 perfect examples of how the translators disbelief in the person of Christ altered the fundamental meaning of passages revealing Him as God incarnate. If you don't read the original languages, the best that you can do is read multiple translations and trust the Teacher to reveal the truth in them.
He can tell us everything we need to know in order to know Jesus.
If we want to know more about our faith, we really do need teachers, and I mean persons that have taught in mainline churches and have some initials after their name, or have been taught in those churches using those methods.
There are too many heretical beliefs going around these days...
