I’m making a point of just straight reading my Bible praying for the Holy Spirit to highlight what He wants to show me - and I’m finding this is enriching my walk with God greatly.Is this what happens when you listen to human teachers? I actively avoid this.
But I’m also looking things up from teachers I’ve come to respect - because I find they can shed light on things i otherwise would never learn.
But I don’t have any single teacher who I agree with over everything. I think different teacher’s have different strengths and giftings.
Also, I’ve learnt some good theology from some of these teachers which has in a positive way shaped and helped my understanding of the bible as a whole. If I’d known some of these correct doctrines at the beginning it would have saved me from so much trouble!
Do you solely rely on the bible and Holy Spirit?
