No, I didn't say that other people don't have the ability to teach or explain anything useful. A drug dealer can teach something USEFUL IF you want to learn how to be a con artist, drug dealer, etc., BUT, if you are desiring to learn the TRUTH OF GOD, then God is the best spiritual teacher (and should be the ONLY spiritual teacher).

I am only showing that the church of man has taught ONLY "milk" mixed with many lies and faulty "interpretations", I do not and will not "teach" a person or try to convince a person to love God (that would be senseless because, if that love/yearning is not already there, it would be phony love, not GENUINE steadfast love (and it would be an insult to my lord, He doesn't need or deserve COERCED pretend love).

Either a person's desire is to love God in spirit and truth...or NOT.

Do you "interpret" cooking recipes and letters sent by friends? Do you "interpret" newspaper and magazine articles? Why not read and understand scripture 'AS IS'?

I know you can understand the idea that "babes in Christ" must 'graduate' from milk to solid food. I also know that you can understand we need to GROW spiritually and reach MATURITY IN CHRIST in order to understand the DEPTHS of God, but, like so very many "Christians", you don't want to leave the status quo comfort zone of pride and safety.

Honestly, I don't believe that it is the safety of your soul that keeps you trusting in THE CHURCH OF MAN (you know better than that), I think it is the PRIDE of being a SCHOLAR that everyone will cheer for (the FAME) that keeps you from thinking BEYOND what is taught. Think 'outside the box' (courage impresses God).

...God did not give us a spirit of TIMIDITY (2 Timothy 1:7).

Pride is simply a part of human nature, it is not a weakness of your own, but it must be overcome.

Do not take the discerning SWORD OF THE SPIRIT lightly, it is a special "discernment" of GOOD versus BAD/evil, it is OF THE SPIRIT.

....and NO, it is NOT all "GOD doing the teaching".

God has no need to "work through other people" (God needs nobody's HELP/ASSISTANCE with ANYTHING,...THINK about that!). He is not needy at all (in the old days, He used Paul to INTRODUCE Jesus to HUMANITY because SCRIPTURE WASN'T WRITTEN YET)...there are NO 'Pauls' OR PROPHETS TODAY (because we have scripture...by the grace/providence of God...and His grace is sufficient for us, isn't it?).

If you look closely into scripture, you will find that it is not God's desire/will that the modern worshipper have the same habits and practices of the old testament worshippers...

1) WE ARE NOT JEWS/HEBREWS (in Jesus, there is neither JEW nor NON-JEW).

2) the old practices were simply 'OKAY FOR THEN', but did not really offer 'cleansing of the soul'.

Jesus had not yet come (neither did the Holy Spirit) in the O.T.. God insisted that the Israelites be united in worship, but the habit of "gatherings" was never truly pleasing to God (they are too 'PARTISAN'....like the rules of a social club).

Amos 5:21
"I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies".


Today, we are to be "TRUE worshippers"....

John 4:23
"true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him"......(what The Father seeks, He shall get...no?)....this is God's WILL/DESIRE, are you going to dissapoint Him for the sake of scripture? (scripture is NOT, NOT, NOT a spiritual authority...NO MATTER WHAT MAN SAYS).

"ALL AUTHORITY" was given to the living son of God...

Matthew 28:18
"And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me".

...(the word became FLESH, not TEXT, today we must HEAR His voice when He speaks to each of us in our conscience and heart/mind).

John 10:27
"My sheep HEAR my voice".....unlike the 'climbers'...

John 10:1
"Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door but climbs in by another way, that man is a thief and a robber".

..yes, there are two kinds of sheep, read all of chapter 10,...Jesus says He is using a "figure" of speech for explanatory purposes.

Today, there should be NO BUILDINGS or worship centers. The BODY OF JESUS became the new worship temple in "three days" (the outer temple) and we each are the inner temple....

John 2:19 and 21
"three days"...."He was speaking of the temple of His body"...(VERY CLEAR, isn't it?).

Our relationship should be personal AND PRIVATE/"secret" (not 'clandestine secret', but 'lover private').

Matthew 6:6
"But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you".

Romans 14:22
"The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God".

...so that God may be EVERYTHING SPIRITUAL to each person...."EVERYTHING" spiritual means EVERYTHING spiritual (more meaningful than SCRIPTURE, DISCIPLES, MINISTERS, GATHERINGS, ETC.).

1 Corin. 15:28
"that God may be everything to every one".

The MATURE relationship/devotion is based on LOVE for God (the GREATEST of these, 1 Corin. 13:13, a PRIVATE and very PERSONAL love relationship with God,...VASTLY more intense than TEXT or PROTOCOL and partisanship).
