Willie, “it can happen no other way.” “Processed through who we are, how we think, and the experience of our own, personal life.”
...there is another way though in “Be you transformed by the renewing of the mind.” And “take on My yoke. learn of Me.” while that is true we filter everything through the lens we have been given by the world ...that lens can be healed. only can speak from what I’ve experienced. when I began to read the word I read it through a male-chauvinist lens I was fully convinced was God. the “interpretation” aligned and when others said how much God loves women also ...I couldn’t see it or believe it. For some it may be money ...where everything filters through a lens of wealth with respect of money.
@bbyrd009 suggested it on another thread that the Word reads us. It is true in revealing our faulty False lens. God can heal the lens someone views the Word through...Christ can become that lens speaking something new to the person.
