Given a Priest in year 400 AD had some of the things God gave me, two concepts come to mind.
"Need to know."
"Frame of Reference."
Need to Know
A Priest has a flock. In way, he may be "Married" to his flock. For example, a deacon in the Bible is supposed to only have one wife. In Biblical Polygamy, a King may have been "married" to his Nation, and should only have one wife. He has duties and responsibilities.
A Priest may have a Need to Know. Given something was wrong in his flock, he had a need to know, and went to deal with sin or corruption. We are a Body of Christ. We all have functions in the body. (Ephesians 4:11) Given your left hand causes you to sin, cut it off. Being cut off may be like an exile or excommunication or something.
Someone who found God in a big way, and grew in Faith, may have gone through Gnosis where they have access to all knowledge. Walking down the street looking at people, they may have perceived things through the Spirit of God, or God may have told them something. To receive, someone may have needed a Need to Know.
Many people may have done gross and filthy things, at this time, Man on Fire probably knows about it because God shared it with him. On a personal level, Man on Fire doesn't have a need to know. Be earnest and repent.
Frame of Reference
Given someone has never been to the ocean before, it may be hard to describe it? The ocean has a lot of unique smells and sounds. Never having been to the ocean, someone may not have had a "Frame of Reference." Given a Priest was taking confessions, he may have had "Frame of Reference."
To perceive or understand certain things well, unless God just gave someone a vision, they may have needed a Frame of Reference.
Taking this out of the context of a Pastor-Priest, what I received from God, God showed me was meant to be the ultimate in intimacy between a husband and his wife. Some occult type worked to corrupt that.
Bible Concordance:
Kings Bible Concordance - cleave
Man is meek before God. A wife meek before her husband. There is a relationship here. Someone may learn things about God and creation and intelligent design in their marriage given they are doing right. What is the wrong way? There may have been a few wrong ways, but listening to Marxist, Christ denying, Betty Friedan, Third Wave Feminism was the wrong answer. That gets into more of a Lilith Spirit. Given someone had Third Wave Feminism in their marriage they may have missed the part where a couple may be able to grow in faith and understanding in their marriage.
