Yes,Yes and Yes!!
Can’t emphasise this enough.
Now.....Notice how these verses work as one.
"He that is spiritual, discerns all thing".
"The bible must be spiritually discerned" or "rightly Divided".
So, that is "rightly dividing the bible" by "spiritually discerning it"...
That is not READING>.. that is "receiving the revelation from it".
There are 45,000 denominations in the world...obo.
Why isn't there only ONE?
As there is ONE BODY of Christ
As there is ONE Church
But there are 45,000 Denominations "Globally"..
So, what is the issue?
A.) Wrongly Dividing the word of God.
= That produces heretics who build denominations by the
thousands and thousands.
So....Why am i on forums ?
To help the born again understand what i just wrote, and to help them escape.
To do this, the HERESY is exposed, and the TRUTH is revealed.
Why is this not so simple ?
Its because the Devil is very smart, very cunning, and what He does, is .. he dresses up his LIES as if they are truth.
The devil's lies, sound true, because He mixes in some truth with lies and the believer does not = DISCERN IT.
TRUTH is not partial.
So, that is why if the Theology is not completely right, then its wrong.
And the devil's theology is usually partly right, and that is how it deceives you. Its because what is partly wrong, is what ruins your faith.
See, the Devil will have his people preach that "Jesus saves" and then He add to it, Law, Commandments, Enduring to the end, water baptism, trying to be like Christ, confessing sin, and on and on all these SELF WORKS He has you adding to THE CROSS that has no need for them.
And when you add to THE CROSS, what YOU TRY TO DO< then you have denied Christ's Sacrifice as the ONLY WAY to be forgiven and the only way to Heaven.
See what the devil does ?
He does it to most believers their first 1-2 yrs, after they are saved.
But He can get you anytime you fall under the influence of one of His "ministers of righteousness".
