This site is not meant to be a place to lodge an offence or accusation but rather a hub meant for healing and a return to biblical Christian belief and practice. We must however address things as they are within Christianity as wishful thinking or turning a blind eye will not end in any meaningful solutions.
The place to start? I choose to start with identifying a few problems. The first is the confusion between two warring proprieties within Christian thought and practice: Theology and revelation.
Theology is the study of God from man's point of view and is extremely humanistic in its promotion of intellectualism and education. To study the scriptures from theological definitions and terms demands its devotees learn a whole new language and myriad terms unfamiliar to the everyday man. Theology demands an education that puts the truths of scripture out of reach for many. Theology makes these dependent upon a class of clergy who were institutionally trained in a variety of competing denominations, all claiming they alone know the truth. The truth is whatever beliefs or doctrines these educated men hold to is simply a matter of what denomination trained them. This adds to the overall confusion of who is preaching the truth for they all disagree and all hold credentials from impressive seminaries and universities.
1 Corinthians 1:19-27 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;
Proverbs 14:12 There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Revelation is our true propriety. Revelation is who God reveals himself to be. He does so individually and corporately through Jesus by the Holy Spirit and the scriptures. Revelation is a supernatural propriety as the Church is a supernatural entity. We are the Body of Christ. Just as when Jesus walked as a man among us in a physical body he was not dependent upon his deity as the Word of God but rather as a humble man dependent upon his Father. We are as Jesus with the Spirit of the Living God dwelling in us through faith. Read the below verses carefully.
Matthew 11:27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
John 8:28 Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
10:32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
John 14:23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
Matthew 16:17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
We walk not according to a carnal mind, not even an educated carnal mind, we walk by the Spirit and are led where the Father would lead. We are taught of the Spirit as well. God has a way of making the scripture more than words, it becomes living water within us. This is supernatural and is something theology can never accomplish.
Please do not misunderstand, Scholarship and education are of great value to us but they cannot replace our lifeline to God the Father which is through Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit. This propriety of "by the Spirt through the scriptu
