Misinterpretation of The Word



It is very important to always know what exactly God's word is saying concerning anything. Taking a cue from the Berean Christians, Acts 17:10-11, they always went back to the scriptures to ascertain whatever is preached from whatever source.
This point can just never be overemphasized as many are led astray as a result of wrong doctrine with no biblical base. There are even times when these doctrines come with scriptural reference but there is nothing like knowing God for yourself.
As Christians, we are not void of the Holy Spirit. The Bible even tells us that God does not give out His Spirit in measures but abundantly.
The Word is misinterpreted when people try to use their intellect to understand it. The Bible even tells us in Proverbs 3:5 not to lean on our understanding. Jesus even stated in John 3:6 that that which is born of the spirit is spirit and that which is born of the flesh is flesh. Learn to listen to the Holy Spirit and you will not be a victim of the misconstrued Word.
